Hi I'm buying a new rifle and I've got it down to walther lg400 or the styer challenge ft I'm left handed which would you recommend and why
It's more which is more reliable more than who I've got near me to fix some I've also got barry taylor close bye
They are both epic rifles, there will be only fit and feel between then, which sadly, is only a question you can answer. The Walther to me is the better looking, and a bit cheaper, but no less a gun, but then I'm a gun slut, so would buy both eventually anyway

Had both, sorry that should be had the Walther kept the Steyr. Both lovely and to be honest if the Walther was as short as my Steyr I might have kept it. Couldn't keep both and someone was after the Walther so I let mine go. I'd scratched the itch. Now my Steyr is the HFT not FT so if I had a longer barrel FT I would have kept the Walther I recon.
Bet that cleared it up for you.
Steyr Challenge HFT - HW97K - BSA Mercury Challenger - Anschutz 9015 One - AA Pro Target - AA Pro Elite - ASI Paratrooper (R) - Walther LP500
Regarding being Left handed both can have LH grips and cocking lever changed over (might not work if you are doing FT though due to the sidewheel if you have one fitted).
I do think the Walther is nicer and feels to me like it has more pedigree but I've shot Steyr for a long time; it would be hard to let go! That said, I'm shooting my new 'old' AA Pro Target more at the moment.

It's like Katie Price on top and Lucy Pinder below for me. Top was / is nice but common as. While the Walther is just that little bit more classy, much better looking, but basically the same.
