    which junior 10m match rifle?

    thinking of getting some junior rifles into the club in an attempt to attract some young blood.

    therefore we need some cost effective junior weight match rifles, but which one to choose? would prefer pcp.

    anybody got any experience with this?

    Walther LG300 XT Junior Air Rifle is imo the best option but you may be a bit put off by the price. Then there is the Hammerli AR20, but it really isn't a patch on the Walther. Then there is the Air Arms MPR, but it really is a compromise and probably a little too large for your purposes.

    The Walther may be the most expensive but I feel that it would be best suited to your needs and probably best value in the long run.

    Gunpower Edge is a reliable gun and accurate with good dioptre sights.

    That may well be the case, but they have truly awful triggers.

    FWB 500 is amazingly light - feels like the wood is Balsa !

    Budget end - there is a dioptre equipped version of one of the Chinese C02 rifles that's shoulderable for a junior, GF had some luck with a tuned HW30S as a starter Bell Target rifle.

    Air arms S200 Target or the CZ equivalent (same gun), very capable and light and short enough for youngsters

    The SMK QB78 Match is a cheap option and I have seen some fantastic scores from them, a little rough round the edges and not the best triggers (although these are easy to improve) but certainly seem capable enough for a new shooter,

    CZ200. No doubt. Best value for club use. FWB Walther etc, great for private ownership, too expensive for club.
    Gunpowers are dreadfull, forget those.
    If CO2 would be an option, Tau MK200. You can convert them to air.
    I also love my Alfa Proj, but rear sight is dreadfull.
    ATB,
