best rifle and scope for 100m

[lobsta]

I've just got into target shooting and would like to shoot paper targets at 100m. Could anyone tell me what they think is the most accurate air rifle and the best scope for the job? money is not an issue.

I'd put my Airwolf up against anything at that range Money no object for a scope, I'd look at a March

Airwolf or 'tuned' rapid, with either a lothar walther selected match grade barrel, or a leupy bsa barrel.

Oh and scope schmidt and bender?

Hi,

We have seen many 100m matches in the Netherlands and many different kinds of guns en scopes were used. I wouldn´t recommend an Airwolf (I have an Airwolf myself among some other airguns). I think a Theoben Rapid S or a Steyr LG110 HP is a much better choice fot 100m target shooting. My most favorite scope is a Schmidt and Bender 5-25-56 PMII. I put that scope on a Steyr LG110HP .22 40 Joule. Anotherone I like is the Nightforce 12-42X56 Precision Benchrest. That scope I put on Theoben Rapid S in cal. .20. An Air Arms S4/5*0 wille also do the the job. But in that case you'll have to shoot from the bottle. A GGR might be something to use.

the Steyr is too light
go for a Walther unless you want to go fac
then get an HW100 retuned , those barrels are now being sought after for tuning other rifles.

I've heard the hw100's are one of the worst guns you can get at FAC levels, because the barrels are pretty naff at higher velocities, don't know if they've sorted the problem now though? i think they used to use polygonal barrels?

hi
please can i ask why you prefer a rapid to a airwolf? are the rapids more accurate at this range from your experience?

i am looking to buy a 30ft/lb s510 carbine and would like to know if this gun will be as good or better than my airwolf?

Of course you can ask that Nightstalker.

I prefer a Rapid to an Airwolf because in my experience (we've tested a lot of Airwolfs, Theobens etc) that though an Airwolf can be deadly accurate on 100m, 3 out 5 of are not. After changing barrels (to polygonic) we came to the conclusion that that the original Daystate barrels are not as good as they should be. We didn't see a Rapid with a sub-good barrel yet.
