Theoben MFR.

Post by chris thomas »

Hi All.

Haven't done much with my air rifles for a while now but a couple of weeks ago I got the bug again.
I am looking around for a Theoben MFR 12 FP Model. Lewis sold a couple years ago but we have no idea where they ended up. If anyone knows where I might find one or some one is willing to part with one please let me know.

Also looking for a Simmons WTC 1.5-5 x 20 or 2-8 x 32

Regards

Have you shot an R10?

Admittedly they are FAC, but maybe a call to Damien Perry at Tasco sales would secure you the 12ftlbs version, minus the VC mod of course.

Problem with the R10 is, when you put 5 shots through a ragged 1 hole group at 55 yards, what do you do with the other 5 shots still left in the magazine?

Seems a bit of a waste to shoot them.

I have a cup of tea and just admire the thing, and the surroundings.

How many times would you need to do this before the ammo savings paid for the rifle?
