Tau 7 Match wanted

[mikehill]

Anyone got one spare ?

[david604]

I just recently got a Tau7 compact from Sureshot at a very reasonable price. Lovely gun, first card at club with it was a 48 (4 tens), but my daughter has decided to take up the sport and stolen it off me.
Anyway may be worth contacting Matt at sureshot and see what he's got

Thanks David, will look into it

A 'true' Tau Match (CO2) was sold at our recent Airgun Fair (13th Aug). They are becoming quite rare. Ask ZOOMA on here about them

I recently sold my genuine TAU 7 Match to a fellow club member who has been shooting it every week since he bought it.

Before the change in the firearms act many model shops, hardware shops, and sports shops etc could also sell airguns legally and many chose to do so.

Rossendale Models never sold any air rifles but we did sell some match pistols (including the FAS 604) and when I heard about the "new" TAU 7 Match I bought the only 3 examples of these that the UK importer had at the time.

As far as I know all 3 examples are still local and the one that I bought for myself was the most recent one to gain a new owner.

The original type of genuine TAU 7 Match is a rare beast and is well worth searching for.

I started a thread here on the BBS some time back about the TAU 7 Match to help potential buyers recognise them as so many TAU 7 pistols were being sold as "TAU 7 Match" but they were in fact just ordinary TAU 7 air pistols - and not the genuine and rare "Match" variant.

This was probably because all TAU 7 pistols can be considered to be "match pistols" as that is what they are - but the model branded and sold as the TAU 7 Match was a different animal and always was more expensive to buy and much harder to find as so few were actually made.

If I can find the original thread I will add a link to it here as it does make some interesting and informative reading.
