cost affective target pistol?

[mikehill]

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.

Most ssp’s seem to be like that. My HW40 was and my Alecto on one pump is. I found that my FAS was useable when I put me seals in. Seems to bother some more than others but I see your point.
