I have three Theoben SLR 98's, two .22's from new and one,177 I bought from David Slade. The Thumbhole .22 has a David Slade trigger tune, ( it shipped from him ) and a Theoben trigger shoe installed, I would consider it collector grade condition, stayed in case in closet, I would consider the sporter stock .22 and the thumbhole .177 excellent+ condition, I'm very fussy about my guns. The sporter .22 and the .177 carbine were gone through by David Slade two or three years ago, all of them are wonderful shooters that are good for the foreseeable future. I won't be shooting these any more for a variety of reasons and I am trying to decide weather to sell or hold these guns. I'm leaning towards selling but I would like to see these Theoben's preserved for the future too, I do not sell many air guns, ( two in 15 years to friends ) I buy and "hold". I have been trying to decide for six months now. I need to hear some opinions from people wiser in the ways of air guns then me. Thanks!
