Re: Standard /Rapid Fire Pistol - Best Pistol to Buy?

there are Morini, Pardini, Walther SSP/GSP ( ? ), FWB,... And seems like everyone uses Pardini. I have adviced you repeatedly: Buy several brands/models, try them out by yourself, then trade off the ones you do not prefer. Fascinating! Seems like Benelli has an authorised dealer in Hyderabad!

Re: FWB 80 energy

I'll assume you're using good German targets (not crap American ones), so you should be getting clean holes with light pellets. Eventually Rover has realized for himself West European quality is superior. German targets? I buy swiss targets, the famous high quality Kromer targets. Those are superio...

I think all you guys are missing it here. He question was, without a budget constraint what would you buy. SOMEBODY needs to be the first honest guy here and say....... ALL OF THEM.........

Thanks for this well formulated post. And thanks for honouring the request about Michelangelo.No sarkasme from me there :-)
I slowly learn to appreciate your way of humour. Maybe it was just misunderstandings/misinterpretations from the very beginning...

Re: No budget constraints

FWB 102 or 103 in excellent condition Nice guns, some effort cocking them in the long run, but I have some experience with them from use at my summer-holiday-cabin during former years. Away from compressors and diving bottles these guns are in their own right. As accurate as any PCP air match pisto...

Re: What to Buy ? Feinwerkbau P8X vs Walther LP 500

Tell me what you don't like about the P8X. It's on my list of what I think I would like to try. Well, I have simply got addicted to electronic triggers, it seems. I very much liked the P8X at first, but when I got the Walther 500 E,I fount that gun to bring me slightly better scores. I feel there i...

Re: What to Buy ? Feinwerkbau P8X vs Walther LP 500

Do yourself a favor, buy all three of them, Steyr Evo E, Walther 500, and the FWB p8x. Shoot them extensively for a while, then decide which one brings you the best scores. Then trade off the guns you do not want to own. I have bought them all, favor the Walther 500, but will keep my Steyr Evo E (al...

Re: help with LP500

The trigger of the Walther 500 E is slightly finicky, according to my experiences. If one puts pressure to the trigger, close to let off weight, but then abandons the shot, then the next trigger pull let off weight is much less, which could cause a premature shot release. Is this caused by a too tig...
