spandit Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I always wanted a G10 repeater but was never allowed one, I seriously wouldn't bother now The pistol? I've got one. It's rubbish. I think it was pretty rubbish when I got it although I must have had fun back then. What I really wanted was a Skan Bullpup but have grown out of military looking stuff now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Washerboy I always wanted a Webley Vulcan....because I read in a letter in an Airgun Magazine which said it was a suitable gun to start off with....this would of been about 1985/86...was it your letter?? I was given a Webley Victor which was fine to start off with. I still have it although I now use a Wheirach HW90. Cheers Aled Could well have been my letter published 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 When I was in my early teens, I'm now 41 I used to drool over the Theobens I used to see in the airgun magazines.Also the NJR 100 as it was the most expensive and looked like something from outer space.

figgy Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Funny thing is you want a gun it looks lovely you covet on for years if lucky get to shoot one or two that people let you have a try if. You. Buy your dream gun and after a while it just becomes the norm like any other gun you have. The wanting is usually better than the actual owning.

bunnykiller Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Luckily enough to have owned at one time or another most of the air rifles mentioned in this post, the sterling hr I never owned but yes it was a lovely looking gun. But for me the most coverted was a sportsmatch gc2 mk2. My god they are still a thing of beauty.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Falcon Light Hunter, spotted it at the Midland game fair when it was launched, last stand on gun makers row next to the air rifle range. I must of been to that stand 10 times over the two days I remember the guy behind the counter telling me one day I wouldn't be interested in air rifles as I would move onto rim-fires... I did get rim-fires but never stopped with the airgun. And never have had a light hunter ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphant59 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Always used to have a look in Browns window in Coningsby Lincs and drool over a Sarasqueta SLE, it was £119 if I remember, ended up settling for a Laurona BLE at £105. Always regretted not saving up the extra £14, just as I regretted buying a Vauxhall Viva for £1100 when I could have bought a TR6 for the same money!!

Exudate Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Webley Tracker. When I finally got to shoot one many years later, I thought it was awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 when I was young I wanted a Webley senior air pistol. never got one but had a junior in 177. Then in teens I wanted a Luigi Franchi Falconette o/u. this was followed by a Laurona 316 SLE. I never had any of these either. but later times I had all sorts. I have got some very nice ones now but nice doesn't make me a better shot After thinking about the above, I don't quite know why it was that I eventually went and traded a load of stuff in and went and bought a Laurona boxlock non ejector and then traded that in after a short time against a Victor Sarasquetta 6EC 12g sidelock. I still have it all these years later. I never went out and hunted out a Luigi Franchi Falconette or any other O/U until one day I took my Mother out on a general drive round the countryside. I needed a bronze barrel brush and stopped off at a gunshop. Mother came in to the shop with me just to look around at other stuff in there. On the rack I noticed a slim o/u and asked for a look at it. When I picked the gun up to the shoulder, it felt just like a fitted bespoke gun would do. I had no intention of buying this gun at all "well not on that Day". Mother asking if I liked it. My reply was yes it is absolutely me down to the ground. So she said to the assistant that it was sold to me !!! I said don't be balmy, and that I couldn't allow her to buy it for me. she replied that it was a present to me. What can you say to that? She has long passed away and I still have the gun and will never sell it. If I was told that I couldn't keep the gun and had to hand it in I would remove the wood and machine up all of the metal parts into swarf and hand in a couple of carrier bags. I have no hang ups about whether I shoot with a single, an SbS, an auto, a pump, or single or double trigger. Over the years I have amassed a fair few. I wonder where they will end up?

chrisp Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Ive always wanted a 410 bolt action ,im going to pick up a three shot norica at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Back in the 60s I used to drool over the ubiquitous Webley 700 priced I think at that time at £110. Well beyond my reach. Nowadays however my aspirations have risen somewhat and a Dixon Round Action, or Triggerplate as it should rightly be called, in 16 gauge has me drooling once more. Like the Webley back then, I`m most unlikely to achieve my aspirations but have nevertheless owned some lovely English guns in the interim years so have no real regrets.
