Everytime I go to a new gun shop, that sell S/hand rifle's, I always look for the Fenman before I look for anything, the best small rifle, my pal has one, and it has the original scope it came with, and I would put it up against any modern day gas-ram/ underlever. That little barrel and moderator has"nt been replaced by a better small hunting rifle yet, and never will. IMO.🏴👍🇬🇧

Theoben are quality rifles shame they didn't continue making them , a lot of quality time went into making them and very effective in the field Bet they would be top of the rifles still ,if still continued shame

The old adage "they don't make 'em like this anymore." Is certainly true when it comes to Theoben rifles. I had a Theoben Evolution in .22 cal which was superbly made but it only produced just over 9 ft lbs so I sold it. If I'd knew then what I know now I would have kept it. Having worked on my HW90 and repressuring the ram with a hand pump I know the fix was simple but we live and learn. Thank for a great presentation and I'm pleased you found this beauty.

Have you put a silencer on your lightning? Or is the silencer on it adaqat? Would love to know as can't find a Fenman, so looking for something similar to a Fenman until I can find one, much appreciated.👍🏴

Did you kick the bottle, to see if it was still alive? LOL. It definitely looked dead to me. 😂 great little rifle. I don’t think I’ve seen one before. It would definitely make a great HFT target rifle. 😊

If you get a chance would you be able to take some measurements for me please, specifically the overall length, the length of the barrel and silencer from breach to the end of the silencer and also the length of the compression tube. Thank you very much.

Owned two bitd, both .22 one was similar to this, but without the Vortex silencer, just the slim one and shot like a dream. The other was the skeleton stocked one and shot like a dog, 6inch group at 20 yards with every pellet, recoil was horrendous, but only 10.5 fpe sent it to be serviced- no change, tried everything- would not group.

Would have thought earlier, more like 91. The give away is the pressure valve location which on that gun required the action to be removed from the stock to couple up a pump. Also fitted with the early silencer, later models had the evolution type and were marked HE on the muzzle block. A couple of drops of engine oil on the pivot points and barrel latch from time to time, tru oil on the stock plus H&N ftt pellets and enjoy. Breech seals were a weak point, change once a year, at least that's what the factory recommended back in the day. Still got my mid nineties taunus, fabulous gun, the equal of tx, 97 etc 👍

I have a theoben but am struggling to identify it. It is pre he and has a webley omega trigger in it. I cannot identify by the stock because it is in a custom stippled stock. It also doesn't have a safety catch, any help would be appreciated.
