Cheap 10m shooting

[dave_samk11]

My Mum took up 10m Air rifle at the age of 63 and is using a S400 MPR with the Target rifle sights, it is not going to compete with a top end target rifle on its regulation or trigger but I shot 3P for Sussex about 4years ago and to be honest when I tried it I can honestly say it was me that was not performing not the rifle.

My Mum does have Kurt Thune Jacket (having a Son in the business has gotta have some perks) but no boots or trousers and she comfortably averaging 75+ and still improving so for a sensible starting point I would seriously recommend the S400MPR or look out for a secondhand one. Don't discount single stroke pneumatics still very accurate and around at sensible money.

Hope this helps

There have been a number of FWB300s for sale recently around the £200 mark, and, IIRC, on this forum as well. Excellent rifles.

a friend at my club has a fwb wants 400 for it. Will see if I can get picks let me know if your interested. Good rifle.

Hi there.I recently paid £750 for a second hand but very tidy fwb 700 basic,this is an ambi wood stocked rifle that apparently uses the same action and sights etc as the top of the range fwb 700's,so not too bad...

I have taken the club gold with an FWB 300S Junior for a few years. A tuned down AA S200 with diopter sights is also a cheap useful contender...although my FWB springer will match it! I would not spend a fortune until you find out how you take to the discipline.

I have the very same rifle. But, TBH, my scores haven't increased since my change from a Walther LGR/FWB300 to the 700. While it's a great rifle, it is probably a little light for me. But cocking (the hammer only) is so easy!

Unbelievably,i too have changed from a fwb 300 and a walther lgr and guess what,my scores haven't improved either.Like you say it is a little light but i have put a barrel weight on and also some stock weights which has made it much steadier on aim...

Could do with a bit of that!!!
