The big one is a quickfill so you aren't required to remove the air bottle to fill it up and a built in pressure guage. One thing to kep in mind about the S10 is that BSA has come out with a R10 that has a lot of features people with S10's (like me) wish they had. You can obviously beat some of these prices buying used / sometimes failed experiments from guys that just like to change guns often. Springers - As low as 200 for a Gamo CFX to 600 dollars or so for a Air Arms TX-200 or a Weirhauch HK97. You can get a 1990-2000 ssp for 800-2000 or even spend more than 2k for a Olympic match quality PCP. Match guns - You can buy a excellent used one for from the 1970-1990 era for 400. People taking this route tend to then spend a lot getting parts changed and "tuned" and end up spending as much or more than if they bought a better quality to begin with. You can get into a low end PCP for a few hundred dollars buying a US made gun or a Chinese import. PCP - Potentially most expensive because most guys end up buying a air tank vs using a hand pump and the good guns are expensive. I think it was said earlier but it's worth repeating that there are 3 classes shooting PCP, Match, and Springer. I think it would be best if you came to a match at Holbrook and looked and tried a few of the guns there. I'd appreciate any and all input, I have a lot to learn and really appreciate your help.

I think the gun that interests me most at the moment is the BSA SuperTEN series and the Super-10 MkIII as I have the possibility of buying one but am hesitent as I do not know anything about its suitability for Airgun Benchrest shooting. As to the FWB300 not having a scope, that is not an issue although that is a gun that interests me, my brother has a FWB150 and I am familiar with what the 300 is. You mentioned the possibility of shooting several guns that fall into the families of guns I've looked at on the web and that interests me very much.
I'd appreciate comments about any of these and their suitability for use in precision shooting at 25 yards? Guns I've looked at on the web are the Air Arms S200 and S400 series, The BSA SuperTEN and Super-10 MKIII series, the Weirbrauch HW100T, the FX Tyhpoon, and the Theoben Cyclone. It has become obvious to me that a much higher grade of air rifle is required with a top end match grade barrel and so I find myself considering the purchase of such a rifle.Īs I know very little about pellet rifles, I'd like to hear from others about what you are shooting for airguns for precision airgun/pellet rifle shooting that is competitive? However, if I have learned one thing to date in my brief venture into pellet airgun shooting so far, it is that while the Chinese made AR-2078A rifle is a joy to shoot, it leaves a lot to be desired in the accuracy department when one starts to explore the possibilities of Airgun Bench rest shooting. It has a very smooth trigger of 1lb pull and is very stable to fire in bench rest mode. 177 Co2 target rifle and I find both to be very enjoyable to shoot and the AR-2078A rifle is an excellent fit for me, even better than my Anschutz and Winchester target rifles. 177 caliber, and a Chinese made "Industry Brand" AR-2078A. I know little about pellet rifles, I have acquired my first two since the first of the year, a Crosman 2300S Co2 Silhouette pistol in. As I've said, I'm new to pellet guns, I have been shooting rimfire target guns for over fifty years but with the cost of ammo skyrocketing and being newly retired, I'm looking at a new venue of shooting to get into and that would be Airgun Benchrest Shooting. I'm very interested in Airgun Benchrest shooting and precision airgun target shooting in general. You will get more information in one day than you would on your own in 6 months. 22 Rapid and shot a 249 and a 250 outside.ĭoug builds his own parts and stock, Todd built his own BR stock. Todd from NY along with Doug rebuilt his. The Carroll brothers are the ones to beat in springer and match class. David,Doug,Norm,Craig all have shot record targets. Doug, Craig and Norm all have years experience with different airguns. I also can bring a one piece rest, Fudd two piece, Car scissor jack along with several rear bags. Would have to mount something on the FWB. I have a 45X Leupold on MFR and Weaver T36 on the Rapid, 6-24 Bushnell 4200 on the Walther. I am sure you could try other peoples guns also. If you can make our (Holbrook, MA) Indoor AGBR shoot Feb.
