Ivan Hancock's HW80 Varminter 80 with Hertal & Reuss Scope. Mach 1.5

What model Hertal & Reuss scope did Ivan have on his Varminter ?.
I’ve got the 6x46 with ladder type ret on one of my guns,and it’s my favourite scope..

Venom imported two version. 2-7 x 36 and 3.5-10 x 46. Ivan had the 3.5-10. These were factory pa'ed to 30 yards and FT ret fitted for Venom. Not many sold as these were expensive back in the day. Great glass to this day. I wouldn't sell mine. Mach 1.5

Thanks for the reply.
My actual scope used to belong to a fellow BBS member and Top man Nurek, he recognised it at one of the Boinger Bash events.

I really, really REALLY wanted an Air Arms Carmargue.

Others I drooled over (some in my mums Grattan catalogue) but in no particular order:

HW77K
BSA Mercury (mate had one, I wasn't allowed)
Webley Vulcan
Webley Tracker
Feinwerkbau Sport, mainly because I thought the name 'Feinwerkbau' sounded seriously cool & exotic.

Oh. And anything that John Darling used!

The Air Arms Carmargue was also top of my list, just loved that stock.

Although I had a HW77k I always wanted a custom stock but could never afford one.
I also wanted a

Wembley Omega carbine
Wembley Tracker
FWB Sport

There were a few I really liked the look of as a teenager but then when I finally got a chance to shoot an example later in life was underwhelmed. The Webley tracker was a disappointment when I had a go of a friend of a friends. A chap came in the club once with a Brocock safari and he let me have a shoot of it, absolute cobblers and the filling of the tax cartridges looked like a right faff. Most of the posters on my walls were of theobens, fenman, scirocco classic, rapids and a euro 90 😎

Not really an 80's rifle but still to this day, and I've never owned one, my dream rifle is the theoben fenman...
I just love the looks compact nature of one....

[evert]

I had seen "a christmas story" and seen Crosman ads in gun magazines, so in the early 90's I was dreaming of the Daisy Red Ryder and the Crosman M70.

Original 45 for me, not disappointed with it either, cheers Mal
