Theorem Evolution/Fenman question?

[DonC]

I don,t have a good breakbarrel in my collection. This rifle appears good but I can't find any for sale.

I really would like a Thumbhole 12ft/lb breakbarrel.

Do you have any suggestions for my next purchase?

I have a .22 Evolution and have had a Fenman with .177 and .22 barrels. I would consider selling my Evolution were it not for a pending divorce that precludes me buying and selling stuff right now. It's a beech, non-thumbhole stock anyway; but is an absolute laser! 

My only suggestion is if you expect to find a Fenman or Evolution you might consider letting go of the thumbhole requisite... and be prepared to really pony-up if you do find one (especially in thumbhole).

They are great guns. Just stay away from the magnum ones which are harder to shoot accurately.

I would shoot it as is over a chrony and if you wanted to, release some air in the gas ram but buy a 

pump for it so you can get it back to spec when you want to. Very easy to shoot with less air in them.

You would have to surf some UK websites and get a used one, they can still be bought in the $700-$1300 price range plus international shipping. Do a search for gunstaruk for starters then you can google Theoben SLR98 for sale that ought to get you pointed in the right direction. Be advised that you need to do a conversion into US Dollars to calculate the cost plus add international shipping.
