    New Target Rifle - options?

    Am looking at getting back into target shooting again, and since I want to shoot various distances I am looking for a target rifle that is full power as opposed to 6.

    The AA EV2 springs straight to mind, but are there any other real alternatives?

    Cheers

    The Walther looks fantastic but its even more expensive than the EV2. I guess I will have to rethink due to budget.

    If you are looking at 10 mt precision target shooting as against FT then power is no issue, don't need it or want it. The AA is a budget target gun with budget weaknesses, a good S/H FWB 601 would be a good bet.
    But the best route is to join a club first, use club guns, get coached , and find out what is used and available. Clubs are often a source of S/H target guns. Many beginners who turn up at clubs with their new gun have bought the wrong thing.
    Good Shooting
