Feinwerkbau P70 Match Rifle

[zooma]

Since first posting this thread (months ago!) a few things have happened that have made me reconsider selling my P70 - including the following ones !

To start with the rifle is still in "as new" and "almost unused" condition (and also has all its original documentation). There can be very few (if any) P70 match rifles as good as this one unless there are any new unsold examples lurking about somewhere?

I also really like the red laminated colour, the original cylinder has been replaced with two new genuine brand new Feinwerkbau cylinders recently bought from Germany (cost over £300 for the pair delivered) and the chances of finding another one this good again at this price after I sold it is probably zero!

Although I have had a few enquiries (for pictures) nobody has shown any real interest in actually buying it - even though I have also noticed that there are no other PCP match rifles for sale that look as young or have had so little use at anything like the price I was asking for this one.

Every time I take this rifle to the range it reminds me just how much I like it - and how accurately it shoots - and what a superb trigger it has (helped by some good set-up advice from Robin C).

Now that I have the chance to shoot "rested air rifle" at our club, this rifle will come into its own as it will be absolutely perfect for this discipline as its only slight negative is that it is not a light weight rifle - in fact it is quite heavy (and bulky) when compared to the latest crop of rifles such as the very slim and lightweight Walther LG400 - which is what I currently shoot !

Most importantly I have also found somewhere to store it safely at home when it is not in use so I have decided NOT TO SELL it.

Instead I will make a lengthened stock hand rest to convert it to a "senior" rifle for use in the new "rested" discipline - and I can easily remove this at any time to return the rifle to its original specification.
