    Perfect sporting break barrel? Feinwerkbau Sport. I have a rough looking 127, and I love it. Perfect weight, accurate, easy to cock, and although the trigger is no Rekord, it's adequate. Alas, it's in the cabinet back in England and I've not shot it for three years. Really want to get it over here asap.

    Perfect break barrel... for me that would be the Cometa Fenix 400USC in .22 running anywhere between 8.5 and 11.4.*
    The only thing these need:
    Make sure the spring ends can rotate / fit slippy washers / grease correctly.
    Remove the little spacer on the triggers second stage adjustment.

    I rate this rifle highly enough that I'm very close to buying a second... in .22.
    I've had HW's and yes, Great trigger but on the whole, they're like a Mk2 Ford Escort 1.1... great place to start if your gonna throw money at it and make it something special.

    *I will confess that when 'upping' the power, I went over the top with the washers and blimey it can make Serious power And retain its excellent shooting charactaristics.

    I do like the FWB Sports. I've had a few come in for work in various guises - this is one I finished and chequered a few months back:
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    Now that's how a German rifle should look like, effing stunning.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    It's a beauty isn't it? I do love my job but it does have it's drawbacks - I'm tempted to pocket some of these things and not return them to the owner...

    The stock alone must have cost a pretty penny as its a bloody lovely piece of walnut.
