I don't know how lucky I am

Good find Pete.
You should be in Smug mode with that Relum combo..
I have 2 in the collection, one I’ve had for 46 years ldgrin.

My first air rifle as a kid was a Tornado...although with the crappy scope I had on it I could barely hit anything so traded in in for an Air Arms Combat

Fuelled by nostalgia I recently bought one from Protek fully expecting it to shoot like a bag of spanners.

However I have been pleasantly surprised, and using the open sights I've found it to be quite accurate and not at all bad to shoot.

Maybe I just got lucky with this one, but I'm glad I got it.

Cheers,
Matt

I had one of these when I was around 13 … Even then as now, I look at them and think, why didn’t they just add another 6/7 inches to the fore end … mine actually shot ok.

Yeah,I feel no shame in admitting ownership of the mighty Tornado ldwink.
It was the first air rifle along with a Webley premier pistol that my parents got my brother and me for Xmas,aged 12 years old.
They both hold sentimental value,so won’t be going anywhere.
My ones identical to what Ian is holding up (with ultimate pride) in his photo..
I did eventually put a bsa meteor spring and guide set in my Tornado,and it made it worse..

I liked the Relum Tornado. It is a well made all steel rifle, bit primitive but did the job. Better airgun than a later Meteor. Plus you could buy them out of the catalogue on hp. First gun for many kids from working familys. We used to shoot one that someones dad had found in the boot of a car at the scrappy
