One air rifle for BOTH 10-meter and field target?

[mista meener]

Would the Black Air Hunter be a good choice?

Unfortunately no.  For two reasons:  First of all any gun with moderator is very illegal here in Canada.  Second, that one doesn't have a front sight (nor provision for adding one), which is a requirement for a little more serious 10-meter competition.  It may also be a little under-powered for field target.

Beautiful looking rifle, though.  SIGH

here is the third reason it is a lot on money lol

Certainly not ideal but I shoot my Crosman 1377 carbine at 10m (4pumps) and out to 50 yards (10-12 pumps). At the latter power, I'm only around 9-10fpe depending on the pellet (JSB EXact or Exact Heavy). I can squeak some more power out of it with a lighter valve spring and 15 pumps.

WOW!  How the heck do you get 9-10 fpe out of that gun???  I own a 1377 pistol myself and it's only shooting about 500 fps and that's with a fairly light pellet (around 8 gr).

24" barrel, FT piston & valve (ported), disco hammer spring, extended probe bolt.  Shoots JSB exacts (8.44)  at 705fps @ 10 pumps. Valve retains air at 12 pumps so I'm on the edge performance-wise with the stock valve spring.

The other gun yields 465fps at 3 pumps with 7 grain wadcutters. Same FT piston & ported valve, but the valve has a volume-reducing plug and lighter valve spring. Also has a longer piston stroke, but a shorter barrel.
