I purchased this rifle a few months ago from AGN member Flintsack. Selling to fund other projects. This is a JW60 MK1 .177, in a rare Hyedua right hand thumbhole FT stock with built in knee riser. I know of only three such stocks in existence, and only two pics could be found on the internet; one of which is this one right here. More common were the Walnut thumbhole (without built in knee riser) and sporter stocks.
Below are some posts the previous owner made of the rifle. He's owned several and has stated that this particular rifle was the most accurate at FT distances of all the Whiscombes he's owned.

The stock is in excellent condition with only a couple minor, superficial marks. The action is also in excellent 95% condition.
Chrony #'s unrestricted (without a transfer port restrictor:
AA 10.34 - 765 fps/ 13.4 fpe (unlubed, straight out the tin)
AA 8.4 - 865 fps/ 14 fpe (lubed w/ Napier)
JSB 7.9 - 905 fps/ 14.37 fpe(lubed w/Napier)
I will supply a transfer port restrictor that will allow you to shoot 8.4s/7.9 at just under 12fpe if you so desire.
John Whiscombe (RIP) was a brilliant man whose contributions to our hobby are indelible. Below are some links to interviews:
