With so many small variations in local bell target rules the first thing to consider perhaps is the rules that apply to the league you choose to shoot it as this could have a strong bearing on what would make a sensible choice of bell target rifle for you to consider.
Your own club RMTC has posted on it's site the rules for what will be our local bell target league - The East Lancashire Bell Target League.
This league is based around the Classic Match Air Rifles and so should generate a similar ( or better response ) in this aera to that already acheived by the MPL.
John and I have already made the first backstop for testing its suitability for use in our church hall, and if all goes well we will be shooting there to the East Lancs rules within a few days time.

The league closest to Worcester has been going since 1907, and is going strong. We use full power recoiling springers only with open sights, and most folk shoot HW's or TX's or Prosports, with a smattering of older stuff like RB Airsporters and HW 80's, so are true to the sports roots in respect that they are pretty much off the shelf guns (obviously with added open sights on the Air Arms) just as they were back in 1907.
There are plenty of younger shots (under 21's) and we also have an all ladies team in the league.
Any form of shooting aid is banned ie. no funny jackets and shoes so it is a relaxed atmosphere, and is shot in a good variety of local pubs and village halls;

As others have said, league rules vary from location to location, so guns can be all sorts.

We had the Dutch HFT team on our belltarget range at the Kelmarsh game fair last April, they couldn't believe we had teams in leagues, shooting in pubs over here, you should look into setting it up over there. Just check out power of rifles, to prevent excessive rebounds. http://www.belltarget.com/
Welcome to BBS.
Does this ring a bell with you Phil
This was my reply to one of your questions that referred you to your own club site to check the rules for the East Lancs Bell Target League - the one we hope to be shooting in together with the Rivvy lads.
Take a look at them - I have added a link to my signature to make it easier for you to find
