    You could take a look at the Air arms Alfa pro...i know its quite light....not sure if its got dovetails but it wouldnt be to difficult to use barrel bands like Pro blox.

    Another crosman

    Hi James, have you considered the slightly cheaper Crosman 2300t, it's not a true match pistol but extremely accurate, ambidextrous, has scope rails but also comes with a very nice LPA mim rearsight, mine with co2 capsule, open sights & trigger shoe weighs 1050g. I have shot mine with opens, red dots, & a 2x pistol scope, like I said not a true match pistol but great for plinking. I see yr not a million miles away so yr more than welcome to try it at Rivi Rifles.
    Regards John.
    ok, I admit it, I've got a problem.

    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: LP2 Compact, 780g plus the rail & sight: http://www.steyr-sport.com/en/steyr-lp-2-compact

    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.

    Thanks John

    Trying to stick to a PCP as I have the gear and like the shot count, power and consistency without having to start down the cartridge route.

    Good offer though.
