Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, I have considered air arms after seeing a few for sale, but I fancy something with a buddy bottle that will do plenty of shots before re-filling, and has a multi shot magazine [an s400 i looked at was only single], but I'm yet to shoot an air arms, you never know I might fall in love if and when i get the chance to try 1, I shot a theoben many years ago, and have always considered them a good gun ever since. Let me know if yours comes for sale redbeard mate, as you ain't a million miles away, thanks
