Tau 7 questions.

[Smithfire]

Hello peeps

1st time in this section of the bbs. Got a few questions regarding the Tau 7 target pistol.

1, Can you still use them at competition level.
2, Is accuracy effected by the sort of temperatures we commonly incounter in the UK.
3, How much should a good used example (match) set you back.

Apologies for asking questions that have probably been asked before.

Many thanks for looking.

Probable answers:
1) Yes (depending on the level of Comp)
2) Not significantly (assuming comfortable temperature at the range)
3) ROM 2/3 of new Match price. Older versions of the MATCH are more highly prized. Standard Tau 7, cased with all the weights etc...typically around £250 here on bbs.

Yana may be along soon with a better explanation/more details

Thanks very much for that pal.

Very tempting!

I used my standard Tau7 (not the match model) in 10m matches and competitions for about ten years with extremely good results before moving on to a Morini. I would recommend the Tau to anyone considering taking up serious match shooting and I reluctantly sold it almost three years ago for £215.

Thanks AC99

So is the model referred to as the Match that is currently available, actually a standard model?....is there any difference?. Still love the look of all the different models mind!

Post #2 of THIS thread mentions that all the MATCH versions have a selected barrel; probably other differences. The thread also mentions that the vast majority of pistols sold are the Standard...which are very good!
