Just thinking out loud..

Everyone misses Venom - their design, engineering excellence and quality of workmanship. I hear it all the time.

With full respect, and without copying or plagiarism, does no one have the skillset to at least equal, or even take it to the next level? We harp on about Theoben quality and the deep blueing etc etc and what Venom did.

There is already a benchmark of what could be. There is no point talking about what has been - just do it! Surely with modern CNC etc which can cut to the tolerance of a thou', the quality of 30 years ago remains unchallenged??

These names remains legendary - to be talked up to God-like status for speculative investments.

In fact, it can be made for the benefit of the shooting community but no one even tries. I don't get it !
