Blast from the FX past

[xyon]

I bought this RWS Scimitar from a local gun shop, I had to replace all the orings as they had perished. If you recognize the action you will know it's made by FX. The unusual thing with this model is there is no cocking/bolt lever. First hunt, I got this hare at 50M JSB exact at 830 fps.

That’s awesome. I had a fancy stocked 22 tarantula many years ago, somewhat similar action.

When was that model released?

back before fx made all their guns look like fat ugly junk that fell of a plumber's truck?

I don't know, but I did read a post from a UK shop about selling the last of this model in 2004

This rifle, with the small scope is light and great to carry. Also no poi shift from the solid barrel (unlike my wildcat!)
