I remember reading the posted article when I was a teenager, and falling in love with the concept of shooting a high quality pellet rifle.. I lusted after the FWB 124.

I shot varsity rifle in college ( smallbore 3-position with an Anschutz 1413, and air rifle with a FWB 300 ).
Life got busy for a while after college, then I finally bought a (used) quality pellet rifle ( .177 Beeman HW77), and later (recently) a RWS 48 (0.177).

It all started with that article about the FWB 124. Fond memories were resurrected with the OP's entry. Thanks. Enjoyed it.
