Hi, the 98 is a good choice for targets in 177 cal. They easily make 11+ftlbs so nothing too frantic going on inside to make harsh. Personally I am not keen on the adjustable stock from an aesthetic point of view and would look at a 95 with the same sleeved barrel which are only available from Veranderhaus Schneider in Germany by mail order. If you go that route it will require an export spring to fitted when it gets here though.
