Lightweight target PCP pistol with dovetail?

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

If you have deep pockets the Steyr LP2 Compact will set you back about £1200. It is a lovely gun and you will probably be able to get one second hand.

Don't know if the FWB Piccolo P11, is still available. Great little gun that probably costs about the same as the Steyr.

The problem is none of them have a dovetail for a red dot sight, I was going to buy a more expensive small red dot sight, but can't mount it with a true target pistol having no rail, so the Crossman Silhouette I have is the closest and lightest I've found, but would still like to drop the weight if possible.

Does it definitely have to be PCP James .
Some lightweight CO2 pistols may be an option

LP2 Compact, James?

I'm pretty sure Steyr do a rail to fit their pistols. Probably be a 20mm rail, mind.

edit: Ah, that Steyr rail seems to be for the LP-S, so would be best to check for further info about a rail to fit the LP2.

I've trolled around the Steyr site and can't really find much on this adapter or if you can get one to fit any of the Steyr guns other than the Sillouette which is apparently 1.4kg?

If I could get a multi shot version with a weaver or dovetail that would be great.

Ah, finding a sight rail might not be as easy as I thought then...

Multishot! You'll want to buy her an LP50 Compact, then... this is getting a bit heavier, and more expensive.

This chap has made rails for the LP50: http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/wt...l-for-red-dot/

OK, he's in the USA, but I can't see it costing more than 50 or 60 quid to have a short bit of rail made up for a Steyr pistol - if indeed that's what the lady wants?

If one can't be bought off the shelf, I'd ask AJP or Shaun @ ISP about the rail.

I have an Air Arms Alpha Proj PCP target pistol with an ambi grip which weighs 900gm without the removable barrel weight and 1.05kgm with it attached. It also has an 11mm rail as an integral part of the barrel. The rail takes a red-dot sight - the one I use at present (when not competing) is a Hawke Sport Dot. At 10metres it is as accurate as my Benelli Kite. I used to live close to Bisley, and the pistol was my first choice in the BFTO competitions. However, I now live in Bournemouth, and the pistol has seen little use since I moved, and is in perfect condition. If you would like more details please pm me.
