I really like your Theoben. My Theoben Crow Mag is my Sledge Hammer.
Just really love the heft and power you get out of these gas rams.
The only thing I really do not like is that it is very noisy to cock with the chisle lockup.
I wish it was as quiet to cock as my FWB124.
Other than that it is one nice air rifle. Have you had a chance to chrony it?

A picture of the latest addition to my small collection of UK made bombshells.
I have been thinking of buying a Theoben Eliminator .22 for quite a while and finally did it
Sorry about the poor pic quality, I misplaced my camera somewhere so the picture is taken with my smartphone.

That's very interesting, Carlos...
Mine closes silently, in fact it's almost as quiet as my Pro Sport when locking up and that one is completely silent if you return the lever slowly.
My buddy (Calmark) here on the forums makes a comment about the lockup every time he shoots the Theoben. I think he's shot my Crow Magnum more than I have lately.

Have you tried rubbing a little moly on that area? That might do the trick for yours.

Hi! Niko!
I will try the moly but when I got it back from David Slade I thought that it was a little bit louder when cocking it but since it had been in his hands I thought it wouldn't need any attention for a while. I would really like for it to close silently instead of alerting the whole county of my position.

LOL!!

I know what you mean, one of my guns used to do that. A little moly goes a long way.
Seriously though, that Theoben's lockup should be nice and quiet so I don't hear out here on the West Coast

He can show off all he wants!!
Keep 'em coming, Dave!

Breakbarrel · « **Reply #253 on:** December 01, 2013, 08:49:49 AM »

Carlos: Thanks.
No I have not had the opportunity to shoot it yet since my work calendar has been very busy and the weather has also been horrible in my part of the World.
I am looking forward to trying it and will post chrony results. I have to decide what scope to have on it first though

I have tried cocking it though and it feels smooth and is quet so I really hope you find out what is making the noise in your rifle. Niko has a very good point in the Moly-lube trick.
If that does not help maybe you should call the tuner and ask him if he thinks it should make that kind of noise.

David: Thanks for the pictures.
I am a big fan of beautiful wood stocks so those pics put a big smile on my face

Niko: 6 Pro Elites at the same time

Wow. I clearly live in the wrong part of the World

I bet that was a nice sight.
How much do they go for in US?

Naa I think Davids gun safe is lined with pure silk batting to protect the fine finish on those beauties

Ya know as purdy as they are I use them all, maybe not as much as id like to, but I have very few safe queens.

tried to get some decent pictures of the .20 cal Crow Magnum but failed epically. These will have to do for now

Nikoman · « **Reply #257 on:** December 11, 2013, 10:35:46 PM »

Dave, those Crow Magnums are hard to photograph. Pictures don't do them justice, the wood on those things are literally 3D. Mine has tiger-striping all over but if the lighting isn't right, the camera won't capture it.
Yours looks like a real stunner! Nice Hyedua on that baby!!

Looks like we have similar taste in scopes, my buddy Mark calls that one the "Mama Leupy" you have on it that Theoben. It looks like the 6.5-20X40 EFR if I'm not mistaken. Awesome scope, I just got mine back today from Leupold with the TMR reticle upgrade.
Does it work out well on that Crow Magnum? I always wondered what it would be like on one of those magnums.

Yup it is the 6.5x20. Id love to get the reticle changed to the TMR. How do you like yours.

Beautiful gun Paul !
