Advice on how not to buy a @pup@
Just started getting into target shooting at local club, which has given me the opportunity to try a couple of PCP pistols.
Ive also been looking through the various forums including this one - the general consensus being that (a) getting a good (Steyr, Feinwerkbau or Morini) second hand target pistol is a much better way of getting into the sport than going new at the cheaper end and (b) its as much about fit for you as anything else
My question is really about what to look for if I ever spot or come across one of my short list for sale at a decent price - assuming that I wouldnt get the opportunity for an extended test if its a private sale.
- What can go wrong/wear out with age or abuse?
- Any models where service parts are expensive and or hard to get?
How do you spot a "pup"?
Any advice gratefully received!
Thx
