What Rifles Do You Admire And What Do You Do For A Living.

I am a carpenter joiner with a building business, I like the idea of a Diana 54 airking but will probably not own one.

I'm a military Aviation and Naval artist and illustrator and I own my own publishing business. My work covers all kinds of aviation and warship paintings for books, greetings cards, prints, mugs film and tv productions, historical aircraft museums, aircraft owners, airlines, air forces. In fact, just anyone who loves an oil painting on canvas of a fighter or bomber or warship on the wall. Especially Second World War air combat.


I have to admit I have a particular liking for the DIANA 54 AIRKING too. Diana 52 sidelever is a beauty too.

 

One rifle I cannot find much about was a very beautiful, custom-built, classical looking bolt action rifle with a pcp action. ISP "SPARTAN" was the name if I remember rightly, I think. Does anyone remeber seeing these advertised in the shooting press some 10 years ago???....These were really beautiful looking rifles built to order and would cost over a £1,000 nowadays I think. That's something special I'd like but, what the performance was like I cannot say. They had tiny air cylinders hidden in the forestock yet, they claimed they can produce about 40 shots at 11.5 ft/lbs.

 

Edited to add.

These are/were truly fabulous looking rifles that had all the looks of an elegant bolt action full-bore Deer rifle. But not cheap and not a commercially available gun. Only the Daystate Regal and Huntsman Classic came close to this level of elegance and that's why I bought them. But the ISP rifles have really solved the problem of hiding the cylinder within the stock.

THAT'S IT!! That's the one I'm talking about. What a true, beautiful stunner of an air rifle. One day, I'm going to own one of these. Maybe two!

 

Thanks for posting these up for me Gentlemen!
