    Sigh . . . still extremely difficult to get them outside of Europe.

    For those who do have one, is the trigger adjustable ? I've got my FXT12 set very light, like my pistol and other rifles, so I'm wondering if it can be . . tweaked

    Absolutely!!! It has a fully adjustable match trigger.

    The ONLY gripe with the trigger, is the actual trigger blade. Some like it, some don't, BUT, it too is replaceable.

    I didn't like ANY of my other rifles' trigger blades either - but that's a matter of personal choice.

    Anyone any idea where these replacement triggers are available, would like to have a look?

    Why?

    I'm in South Africa and the one's I ordered, arrived promptly. The other 11 I ordered 2 weeks ago, should be shipped in 2 weeks.

    Just get your Walther agent to order it for you - simple as that. they are available - they should just place an order. Lead-time is 4 weeks because of the factory holiday they had - they closed for a month in July/August.

    We don't have a Walther agent. The NZ shop I have spoken to have said delivery possibly October / November, 650 pounds with no scope.

    If I could order and pay directly either via VISA or PayPal, I would.

    The 8-32x scope it comes with is pretty cheap and not all that great for FT anyway....

    The TEC-HRO (from Germany) triggers fit very nicely, and there are Walther triggers that fit as well...

    Replaced ALL my rifles' trigger shoes with TEC-HRO.

    Trigger adjustment

    I bought one of these on Saturday. Overall I am pretty pleased with it.

    One problem I did have is that I adjusted the trigger to require less pull weight to fire using the screw labelled 'h' in the user manual. I got the trigger how I like it but several times the gun fired immediately when pushing the probe back in after cocking the trigger. This seemed to happen if I pushed it back too fast and was ok if I was gentle, but was quite dangerous. This happened three times whilst out on the HFT course. I have since turned the screw back about half a turn and haven't managed to repeat this, but I will be keeping an eye on it.

    Overall the gun seems very accurate.

    I would like to replace the hamster with a wooden one. Does anyone know where I could get one that fits?

    not sure if it's the same as the LG300, but the way to set them for sear disengagement is to cock it, and turn the screw until it fires, then back off 1/4 turn... mine is actually more like an 1/8th, but whatever floats your boat.

    really not good practice to have it light enough that it could go off like that... you could slip or something and release a shot without control. I'm sure that's me trying to give granny an egg sucking lesson though...
