Entry Level Field Target Rifle
Kallysan:
Any suggestions for an entry level FT rifle? Looks like a lot of fin but my Hatsan breaks the 20fpe limit.
bubba zanetti:
I plan on using my BAM-50.

UCChris:
TX200, HW97, R9, R11, etc.
Lots of choices!
Mr_Sis:
.177 is common the .22 is used also but harder on smaller kill zones. Are you looking for springer or a pcp ? it does not have to be the "latest and greatest" when I went to my first field target event I was given great advice " Enjoy your gun not your score card " I did and had a wonderful time and planning on doing more.
Motorhead:
For Field target ... Honestly stick with .177 cal !!
A .22 ( lightest 14.3 grain ) maxes velocity at 817 fps
A .177 ( using a heavy 10.3 grain ) maxes out closer to 935 fps
No brainer which gets there faster and flatter ;D
Tho ... that said, wanting a PCP or Springer does change suggestions quite a bit :P
