I have always wanted one, I think they are one of the best looking Match Rifles made; and I have owned ANschutz 2002's and FWB P-70's in wood and Alu. Any problems with the Rifle, what Pellets work best?

Thanks,
Bill

I have one of these.It is a very good tack driver,more accurate than me!
I like its stainless steel cylinder and superb trigger.I have had it from new for about 13 years and still going strong on its original(sorry!)seals.It is very heavy and well made.Not many of these about,but they're no longer made now.I'm keeping mine for as long as I can shoot it.They're reasonably easy to strip.It does it for me because I like my pneumatic guns to be self contained.

Forgot to add,best pellets are H&N target wadcutters.I once shot some ordinary Wasp round heads,straight out of the tin to see how it would fare.It still shot a one hole group at 10m.It says a lot for its inbuilt accuracy.

Hi Bill, I've had my model 100 about as long as you have. I used it for club and friendly
get togethers at the local gun shop and at Prado 10 meter venue. I will never,ever sell it.
It is so accurate that all you have to see is any part of the bull through the front
ring,release the pellet and it's an eight or better. Here in southern california the smog is hard on seals.
I had to replace the bolt seal last year; luckily AGE had some so
I bought a couple. I wish I bought a dozen . It's heavy but very easy for most people
to shoot with. Mine is an early version, with no saftey slide but it has a collet that
releases the cocking arm for charging. I guess I'll play with it in the backyard
tomorrow morning. have a great time with yours;

Tony
