Another vote for the Tau-7; if the sleeve weight behind the foresight is removed, balance is improved and overall weight reduced. As zooma said, s/h examples are around for around £150 - 180 if you look at the standard, match versions are rarer and more expensive.

There is a junior version available as well.

The best way is to visit or join a club and ask to try other members guns; most shooters are happy to help in this way.
