Lightweight target PCP pistol with dovetail?

[Jesim1]

LP2 Compact, James?

I'm pretty sure Steyr do a rail to fit their pistols. Probably be a 20mm rail, mind.

edit: Ah, that Steyr rail seems to be for the LP-S, so would be best to check for further info about a rail to fit the LP2.

I've trolled around the Steyr site and can't really find much on this adapter or if you can get one to fit any of the Steyr guns other than the Sillouette which is apparently 1.4kg?

If I could get a multi shot version with a weaver or dovetail that would be great.

Ah, finding a sight rail might not be as easy as I thought then...

Multishot! You'll want to buy her an LP50 Compact, then... this is getting a bit heavier, and more expensive.

This chap has made rails for the LP50: http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/wt...l-for-red-dot/

OK, he's in the USA, but I can't see it costing more than 50 or 60 quid to have a short bit of rail made up for a Steyr pistol - if indeed that's what the lady wants?

If one can't be bought off the shelf, I'd ask AJP or Shaun @ ISP about the rail.

I have an Air Arms Alpha Proj PCP target pistol with an ambi grip which weighs 900gm without the removable barrel weight and 1.05kgm with it attached. It also has an 11mm rail as an integral part of the barrel. The rail takes a red-dot sight - the one I use at present (when not competing) is a Hawke Sport Dot. At 10metres it is as accurate as my Benelli Kite. I used to live close to Bisley, and the pistol was my first choice in the BFTO competitions. However, I now live in Bournemouth, and the pistol has seen little use since I moved, and is in perfect condition. If you would like more details please pm me.

The Hammerli AP20 is 900g and with the cylinder in the "vertical" position it carries the weight near the grip making it appear lighter. You can buy Picatiny rails which clamp to the exposed barrel. It may affect the accuracy but not much. I realise you said you wanted a 11mm rail but red dot sights are available with picatiny rail mounts.

Does it definitely have to be PCP James .
Some lightweight CO2 pistols may be an option

Sorry Alan, missed your post - Yep, definitely sticking to PCP :thumbsup

Yea, we are getting way beyond a grand £ limit now! If the guy in the USA was in the UK and done them for Steyrs I could pick up here second hand (probably forget the multi shot due to price) then this would be a real contender, but I don't want to go and start ordering custom fit items as I don't even have a gun yet - which is a chicken and an egg situation

Thanks David, your a bit far away and the gun is a bit low on power as it will be used on an outdoor HFT style range to about 15m, so around 5fpe is where I want it to be at just to keep up with my other pistols.

Thanks, not one I had picked up on - but I would not attach a sight to a barrel so this would rule it out.

Thanks for all the ideas guys, there does not appear to be a lightweight (under 1kg) target PCP out there that is able to take a dovetail/weaver mounted sight in the UK - which I find really strange, but obviously there is just not the demand for it? To add to my issues she is also a lefty, and as a woman would need a small grip, so I guess I'm just going to keep an eye out on the classifieds and give up actively looking at this point as I don't see it happening.

Thanks again

No worries , but just to throw a curved ball .....
Air Force one , SMK , Kandar CP1 .
Ambi grip ,
Cheap, depending on brand
Light, 888. grams

Dove tail fitting for red dot
How about one of these with a HPA conversion
Google is your friend .
Your wife is more than welcome to try my CO2 version .
I've got it specially for the HFT course , roll on next fun shoot

I have a pair of genuine Steyr Weaver adaptors for the LP10 LP50 i.e. any Steyr pistol with the "squared" barrel shroud, used them ti fit a red dot on my LP10 when I had it.

Any use?
