This has to be the thread that will not die ! It's still a good question , without a good answer .

Chris

Chicken Farmer , I'd pick the LP10 - drilled barrel plus compensator plus bolt mass vs. compensator and bolt mass only . In the flesh the Anchutz looks kinda unfinished/stripped . I have to admit I prefer the triangle front sight and weight bar on the Anchutz . The Morini 162E short might be the tic...

As a bystander , a 3% improvement right out of the box sounds pretty good . I think you are expecting too much from yourself . It will take time for you to adjust yourself and your technique to a new gun . ( even the latest , greatest , and best overall !) A rifle like the 700 has a mind boggling ra...

In all honesty , had I known what I know now ;I would have ordered a FWB 700 . ( If for no reason that I ordered my LG100 in Oct. and have only just recieved it a couple of days ago - ) The examples of the 700 I've seen fit and suit me very well , and it's probably the best out there as we speak . T...

I think you made the right call . Love it or hate it , I dont see anyone denying that the Lp10 is a world class pistol .If it wasn't for the problems people have shipping pistol shaped objects to Canada , I know several who would be interested in your CPM1 .

First I'll qualify this , I'm a novice rifle shooter ,with outdated experience . I just aquired an LG110 from the Canadian importer , I hotfooted out the club to give it a baptism by fire . The build quality appears excellent , the ergos, and adjustments are well thought out . A number of experience...

Nice post , as free pistols go the k22 is very stylish . I have been toying with the idea of a free pistol , and have been leaning towards the Morini , mostly as a result of my exposure to the Morini AP trigger . Now , I think I will take a better look at the Pardini FP . Your photos are very inform...

As A relative newbie who owns both , all I can say is that you wont go wrong with either . The Morini is great fun to shoot , (kinda like a fine sports car - handling wise ) . I tend to get better results with the Styer . Bottom line : I feel very privaledged to have been able to have owned two grea...

Why doesn't some enterprising soul modify existing cylinders so that the distal end can be unscrewed ? I would gladly sacrifice the manometer on one of mine , in the interests of easy travel .

Chris

If your Walther has the "drilled "barrel stick with it . The one I have a nodding aquaintence with is an early un drilled one , and it's still a superb shooter . It's sad to see how the quality of Walther's offering seem to have fallen by the wayside . It's even sadder to to find that supp...

The LP1 in either Co2 or PCP is one of the all time classic target air pistols . The trigger on the 1 is among the best mechanical triggers out there . My gut call( as both a CPM1 and LP1 lover ), would be to go with the LP1 . I feel your dilema , I own an LP10 , and lust after both the CPM1 and LP1...

Very nice , Enjoy !

Chris

If you have the original accessories look for the test target , it may have a make and a diameter . This is a good starting point . The diameter , and weight (if provided ) is probably more important than the manufacturer . Any good clean , consistant pellet of the appropriate diameter will probably...

It's a bit like arguing about the merits of different 24 year old Scotch whiskeys . I feel very privaledged to have experienced both , and as a bonus our host supports both . Of the three mentioned in the original post , the one I don't see the appeal of is the 162M . The 162M makes as much sense as...

Our host sells Edelman targets , which are top quality , and produce very clean holes . As for lubes , that depends on what is recommended for your particular gun . Again I doubt our host would steer you wrong , as he is a world class gunsmith .

Chris

Of the models you describe , you woulds be hard put to find a bad shooter . The FWB seems to be the piece de 'jour among rifle shooter . ( This may have to do with the fact that FWB reputedly gives guns to top shooters . )Some favor Anchutz , due to their ability to service at top match venues . I c...

I'm with Nicole on the roll in the trigger , I find a bit of roll in the second stage desirable if you want to gradually increase pressure as you stabalize in your area of aim . For me the Morini is a bit too crisp in the second stage, and I find it easy screw up the shot release . In great part it'...

Try something a bit more challenging than a can , an empty 12ga hull is good . It's close to the width of the 9 ring , try it both vertical and horizontal . It will loose a bit of it's allure over time . A bit of variety doesn't hurt , but it's questionable how helpfull it is .

Chris

It is a question of how you feel about "recoil" reduction vs. very fine electronic trigger . If you are new like me you may find the Morini less forgiving , you deffinaetly need better follow thru . The Styer has more adjustments , which may or may not be important to you . Try both if pos...

Storm cases are on a par with Pelican's quality for somewhat less . Alass they aren't as easy to find .
