    10m Target Rifle Options?

    Hello, new to the forum but have been on and off the ranges for nearly 20 years. Looking at adding a 10m air rifle to the cabinet and considering my options with so little on the market today (ignoring all the carbon fibre, 10k olympic kind of thing).

    After some digging and reading I am looking to pick up maybe a Walther LGR or LG90, or go a bit older and find a nice Weihrauch HW55 ( I have a Mk2 HW77 currently and love it in both feel and construction).
    Everyone seems to own a 300s so it would be nice to have something different.

    Not really asking for opinions on each rifle as so much will have been posted before found with a little searching, both I think would make excellent choices and everyone has there own personal preference when it comes down to it.
    Really how the top end of yesteryear might compare to the 2 options of today, namely the Air Arms S200 Target and the BSA Silver Star for it's adjustability, though as not even BSA's retailers all offer the Silver Star and never seen anyone use one that might provide somewhat of an answer

    I do not currently have a PCP so all the extra's would be needed for the newer ones as well. Any current pitfalls in the above choices where parts might be difficult to get hold of etc?

    Target Rifle

    I'd go for a Annie 380 but then they are a little hard to find but top of the tree in my book. Can't go wrong with a HW55, easy to work on and a little cheaper to purchase. Mach 1.5

    I've got way too many 10mtr rifles PCPS, SSPs, Side lever, oil damping, giss, CO2, my preference these days is for simplicity. The 55 is a cracking little rifle that will easily outshoot me.

    Must admit I did look around for an Anschutz 380 to see what they were going for, didn't find a single one

    Did find an HW55 though which looks like it might be a 55M, just not been able to actually go and have a good look over it yet.
    Trouble is the guy also has a Walther and that might stretch the bank if I came back with both!

    I doubt there’s many on here that haven’t done something similar
    Morally flawed

    Also take a look at the Walther LG55, Diana LG60/65/66 and 75, and the FWB600 series?
