Witch budget target pistol

[jonone]

Hi every one, i am thinking of geting a target pistol as the only range nere to me only has a 20mt 22live and a 10mt air pistol range. I wood like a .177 pneumatic as i already have an air bottle and pump any advice welcome.
Thanks Jon.

That depends on your definition of "Budget"
If you shop around you can find a Gamo Compact SSP new for around £150, Pre-Charged target pistols start at about 3 times that for something that will be harder work to acieve the same results,
Regards,
Nick

Thanks nick, i have just been looking around the web and i could not beleve the prices of them and i think your rite it looks like its going to be the gamo compact.
Cheers Jon.

Best I can tell the Gamo is discontinued, at least in the US.
Another deadly accurate single pump pneumatic is the IZH 46M, but it is $459.00 US. Is that 275 pounds?

Just bought a second hand Gamo compact today, superb pistol for the money.

You are very lucky to have that price in the USA, York Guns here in the U.K. sell this gun for £459.95 and yes that is POUNDS!

i am in the market for a 10m pistol too but being thrifty im not looking to pay a grand plus for one. i understand the engineering that goes into a pistol but someones taking the piss on prices. the baikal looks a decent gun but i refuse to pay that price knowing how much the gun costs in the us.

think ill email baikal direct

try out the webley alecto its not precharged but its a fair deal i picked mine up for £230 and it packs on hell of a punch

i'd suggest a fwb65/80 as these sell for £200-£250 and much better than most modern '' target '' pistols for about that same money plus you will get a pistol that was an olympic standard pistol for many years and will hold their value.

although not pneumatic they are semi recoilless but much better built...a rolls royce amongst spring pistols!

I've just had the bargain of the century and chuffed to death with it. Went to the local auction today and bid on a fwb65 and to my surprise the auctioneer knocked it down to me at £55 plus commision coming to a grand total of £65. It came in an alluminium case with pellets three mags and variouse bits and pieces , the gun itself is absolutely mint and doesn't look as if its been hardly used. I can only say that it is a superb piece of engineering and a true classic which can still hold it's own against modern pistols. Steve
