How to sell an air rifle

I got a lot of help from this forum as I developed my shooting. Unfortunately my career has unexpectedly picked up a lot over the past few months and I will unlikely be able to maintain target shooting (career is more important to me than this hobby), making me think that selling my air rifle is nec...

Making scuba tank work with FWB air rifle

I need help on knowing what items I need to make a scuba tank from a dive shop compatible with my FWB air rifle cylinder (male din 200 bar 5 thread to the scuba tank). I have a match on Saturday and need to train with my new air rifle before then.

Standing Left Hand Morphology

I have been having an issue when shooting while standing in that the tendons in my left hand index finger have been getting sore when shooting using a fist for my left hand shape. I use the fist because my arms are a bit shorter. Now that I have a FWB 800x, I thought that I could shift to using the ...

Re: Where to buy 10 meter rifle?

I personally recently settled on the Feinwerkbau 800x. There are a number of distributors of this brand, which I chose as it is particularly adjustable. Others seem like they are more focused in singular stores. Walther through Oberle, Pardini likely directly from Pardini USA, Tesro is a Canadian br...

Re: Comparing Tier One Air Rifles

It is notable that many of the shooters on ISSF finals are using Walther rifles, such as the newer Monotec. Still some FWB 800x and 800 there, though. Maybe Walther LG400 is more popular for teams? They are clearly more expensive.

Re: Pardini Smallbore Rifles

Re: Comparing Tier One Air Rifles

The 800x sounds pretty nice and I am inclined to get that in the coming months now that I am pretty serious about competing. My club’s fwb 601 works and can be accurate, but more adjustability would be nice. Having something better than a daisy 753 to dry fire with at home would also make a differen...

Comparing Tier One Air Rifles

As with free rifles, there seems to be quite a bit of variation and attractive options for first-tier air rifles, including the Feinwerkbau 800x, Pardini GPR1, Anschutz 9015 ONE, Tesro RS100 Signum, Walther LG400. How would one choose between these when making a purchase? Can they be seen as compara...

Centra Rear Sight Comparison

I have noted that the Pardini GPR1 air rifle offers an even more expensive version including a Centra Spy Short rear sight rather than a Centra Pro 57 offered for the less expensive models. Does anyone know how much benefit is afforded by the other sight, or rather how much value comes with more exp...

Re: Rifle Accessories

Saving money rather than buying extra sights if they won't necessarily add much benefit as I continue to gain proficiency with standing and kneeling (my prone position has plateaued in score using club rifles with club ammo) sounds like a plan. Getting an adjustable iris sounds like a great investme...

Re: Pardini FR22 vs Walther KK500

Does anyone else have a take on the Pardini FR22? My coach is not convinced on the rifle. I am finding it an attractive choice because it is on sale (only until the end of the year) so even if it does not work for me I could sell it for a profit, and Pardini is a company banking on earning Olympic a...

Re: Pardini FR22 vs Walther KK500

After talking with my coach, he expressed concern on the Pardini rifle webpage not providing much information regarding its specifications and having typos compared to the Walther KK500 webpage where you get a very good sense of its nuances. He noted how the rifling did not go very far in the barrel...

Pardini fr22 what options?

I am fairly deadset on getting a pardini fr22 rifle now. The next question is what options I should get for the rifle. I can get the rifle alone or I can get the rifle with additional stocks and or buttplates for easier swapping in 3P rifle. I was hoping people more experienced than me could comment...

Pardini FR22 vs Walther KK500

I am doing another quick poll on getting others' opinions between these two rifles. I am in a good place to finally purchase my own match rifle and hoping to make a more informed choice between rifles that are likely very similar, although may still have differences that I am not aware of. I can get...
