Theoben Eliminator/Crow Magnum

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Are you asking about performance/power or build quility? Eliminators/Crow Magnums are pretty much relegated to collector statis...They are difficult but not impossible to fine (and won't be cheap) but be aware the seals and piston crowns are increasingly difficult to find...and they are monsters to cock let alone shoot accurately. My recommendation would be to get a TX 200 or an HW97 and be satisfied with 16FPE...if you want a Theoben put up a WTB on the classified...they had a tendency to self distruct if over pressurized...and ask when it was serviced and by whom. A 12FPE HW97
177 is FAR more fun for an afternoons shooting than one of those...now the lower power Theoben springers are a different matter.

The Hatsan 130 is a powerful gas ram rifle, no where near the reputation of the Webley/Beeman. Mine is about 32 lb-ft, beast to cock. Fairly accurate. Maybe the Kodiak/Patriot rifles of Webley manufacture would be similar. I believe the Patriot can be converted to gas ram as well. I have a Kodiak and a patriot, .22 and .25, interesting to shoot, not inaccurate, but definitely need practiced technique to be accurate.

The HW 95 with a Tyrolean stock, in the thread below, sure seems nice...

Good-looking springers that exist

So here's a few that I like...my visual tastes run toward clean, simple, and minimally adorned. Walther LGV. Maybe the most elegant target stock in history. Pre-war lines with modern (well, "modern" in the 60's anyhow) details, lovely wood, and nearly perfect ergonomics, at least for this old...
