Next Step Up?

[Old Gaffer]

So here's the deal...

I shoot indoor 10m air pistol competitively, and I'm using my first pistol, a Daisy (Avanti) 747.

What is there that's a step up from what I'm shooting, without going all the way to the FWB and Steyr price range?

I typically score in the low sharpshooter range, and I'm wondering how much of that is my pistol, and how much is me. When I shoot my .22 in Bullseye, I regularly shoot expert, and have on rare occasion shot a master score.

Oh yeah, I'm left-handed, so grip availability is a biggie for me.

All the best,
Rob

The Izh-46 is generally considered to be THE mid-grade gun. Although you might be able to score a FWB 65. You'll need aftermarket grips, but those are available.

IZH 46m baikal russian match pistol.



I shot one of these things and the trigger pull was < 1lb. (in the ounces)

Not sure if they come that way or he did it himself, but it was very accurate.

I'm really hoping to find something in the Precharged category. there's an Alfa that looks nice at pyramidair for about $650 - but no one seems to know anything about it.

Of course, in the grand scheme of things, I don't have any disposable income right now anyway, so it's all window shopping...dammit!

Not to dredge up a thread, but Pyramyd air

just got some IZH 46M's in stock today. The price went up a good bit, but since they have been out of stock since Christmas I guess they are in short supply.

If you ask they will give you 10% off, but then make you pay shipping. Still works out in your favor though.
