I went on a drive down to Perkin Guns on Saturday . There was a rifle in that I liked the look of . Sods law it had sold about an hour before.
Luckily for me a certain Mr N Simmons was also there dropping some lovelies off that he had given the once over for Mr P…..
Well one thing led to another

Sweet looking gun, but hard to think the .22 is an upgrade on the .20
Couldn't you bung him some cash and swap stocks? 🤣

I know many Theoben owners, (current & previous), occupy this and other forums.

It would be nice to see what is, or was, in your collection and also to discuss anything about this iconic English airgun brand.


My journey into things Theoben has seen me ‘get lucky’ - right place right time and swift action to purchase.
Sometimes, you blink and a deal can pass by!

Anyway, below is my humble collection.
I shoot them regularly; they give me a great deal of pride and pleasure.
I’m currently after one more - patience will be my friend on this one 😉

Let’s see what you have / any stories of purchase and ownership etc.

I’m sure there are many fascinating tales to be told….

I love the gas ram action of them. So silky smooth
 
Evening all,

Does anyone have any updates on the previously mentioned resurrection of the Theoben brand?

Cheers

No, if I remember correctly the 2019 Shot Show? chatter was that RAW/Airforce were going to resurrect the bolt action Rapid as a budget option, Comparing USD to GBP...perhaps a 'budget' gun on the other side of the pond?
it's taken until now to get the micro platform to the market.. I have no idea on price but also can't see how or why they would undercut the micro either.
