10m match air rifle for lefty beginners on a budget- advice please!

What yr looking for? Spring/co2/ssp/pcp?

[Lundy]

I don't really mind! I have a tank for the pistol, and I guess I'd prefer not to have CO2 for no reason other than it's a tank I don't have /an ongoing cost. As far a ssp, spring or PCP, I'm open to ideas if it's cheap, accurate and not too fussy. Obviously in this price range I'm guessing something almost vintage and not too popular, but with so few coming up , I'm not sure "unpopular" is appropriate!

Have you thought of the air arms S200 target version ? Ambidextrous and not too far from your price range.

Good suggestion - we have one of these in our club and it shoots very well.

It also has the advantage of being up to date so spare parts and service should not be a problem either!

If you can find left handed versions, fwb 300 and original 65/66/75 can be had in your budget. I would take one of these over a lower price modern PCP any day

HW30 S, the one with the Rekord trigger and inter changeable foresight, plus Willaims Sports peep sight (ex Evil Bay). Ambi stock. Light. Cheap (- £250, new, for the Full Monty).



This is the deluxe sports peep sight with the windage knobs.

Many thanks for your thoughts on this as well as a couple of emails and pms. It is clear that lefties are quite rare and don't come up very often!
My clubs rifle selection is small -2 fwb universals, an S200 and a RH vintage excl sights. I'm not sure of the FWB model, they are good but a little light. The S200 was even worse for me and I just didn't get on with it. . A club member brought in a walnut stocked 8001 which is lovely to shoot but a bit over budget. The problem with the club models is adjusting them to work for me. Good suggestion on the HW30 but my daughter has one, and not being small of frame, it's just way too small and light for me to think about putting a diopter on it. On balance I have come to the conclusion that I'm better off putting up with the club rifles to save up a bit more and wait for something like a good quality PCp, so I will give the search a slight pause then start looking out for something like a Walther LG300/ Feinwerkbau 700, or maybe the Anschutz at the club will still be available. If I get one and ultimately decide it's not for me, it should be fairly easy to sell it on.
Thanks again for the suggestions
Happy shooting!

These are about the same size as a Webley mk3 Supertarget and do shoot really well!
