cost affective target pistol?

[AC all day]

I'll chip in with my comments, I have an Izzy46M and love it....cheap SSP and built like a tank, well it is Russian!

Wish I could find one for sale !

I know a gun shop with one for sale. You have PM.

'Cost effective target pistol'? FWB 65 or 80. You can get a good one for £250 which will last you a life time and still be competitive with no air bottles or CO2 to worry about.

I think it would be better if we had an idea of the budget available????? What's cheap or cost effective to one person is not the same for others!

The Steyr I have is 100% perfect in all areas.

The Gamo Compact and FAS 6004 are MUCH cheaper.

If I 'down grade' to one of the above, what if anything will I notice in terms of accuracy?

I know the Compact trigger is a bit crap unless 'tickled', but is the FAS trigger much better and could it be adjusted to be as good as the Steyr without re-working internally?

I don't mind 'digging' into a gun and fiddling if it needs it.

604 MK2 rather than 6004. Much better trigger than the Compact.

Thank you Mike.

FAS has nice trigger - but the velocity WILL disappoint.
Spoken as an ex-owner and knowing of at least two others.

My backup to my Morini is a Tau 7...and due to my lack of talent I don't feel under-gunned.

The 46M is a great pistol. Prices have escalated on 2nd hand example but they're still very capable and represent good value, of all the SSP's out there I'd still take one over any of the others, I sold my FAS and FWB100 before letting my 46m go.

Good decision Rob, its simple logic, you get what you pay for!

Have Fun

Why not an older Steyr?
A descent LP1 will cost you less than half the value of the Evo...
And I doubt you would notice a massive change.. ��

And.... I reckon they have pretty much stopped depreciating so your money will be there forever!

If you like the pistol keep it , why settle for second best and have the hassle of replacing it .

Thanks guys.

+1 for the Tau 7. Its not SSP nor PCP but imo best value for money.
Theyre awesome shooters.
Allthough they almost never are the Match version. Almost always the Standard. The Sport and certainly the Match (or Silhouet) are very rare.
