Tau 8 ?????

........or you could just try to find a good used Steyr LP10 or LP1 as they may well be a better long term buy with good UK spares and service available if or when you need them.

Other good well engineered PCP match pistols come up for sale at reasonable prices too such as the SAM that was on the BBS sales recently - excellent quality at a very reasonable price!

Or the best value for money/for quality the Steyr LP2, if you have shot a quality pistol you will be dissapointed with estern bloc.

Cheers guys. Not gonna jump into anything yet, will see if I can handle/try a selection and go from there.

You should be able to buy a second hand Top level pistol for £450 ish. I have got a LP1 and LP300 for about this price. I would personally buy them over a Tau pistol. Another member of my club had a lot of problems with his Tau 7 and is huffing and puffing knocked 10-20 off my scores as I couldn't concentrate.

That has nothing to do with the Tau 7 in general. Those are VERY reliable and troublefree. On the market for decades

Hello to All,

Touch wood, my Tau-7 has been totally reliable, and is a most enjoyable pistol to shoot.

Have fun

Best regards

I was lucky enough to purchase the Sam K11, a lot of gun for the money and I certainly won't need to upgrade for a very long time. I would definitely advise going for a high end used pistol, the old adage of 'buy cheap, buy twice' certainly applies here.

Well done! I am sure you will be pleased with your K11.

I had a K11 in gunmetal/blue some time ago but could only had one matching blue coloured cylinder, but I managed to find an Anschultz branded one with a manometer on the end (Anschultz were marketing a rebranded version of the SAM for a short period of time) and when I sold the pistol this spare cylinder went with it.

Good memories of an excellent match pistol that had plenty of character.
