Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Competitive Shooting anyone here shooting competition air rifles?

i found a beeman feinwerkbau 603 lefthand that i can buy cheap. gun is in ex cond and shoots very well. its a 10mm/570fps gun.i'm trying to figure out what these guns go for. not find much info on these older guns.

How serious are you?

I guess they are fine if you just want to screw around in the basement, but if I was serious I wouldn't look at anything that wasn't compressed air. Those springers, while they can be very accurate, are much more hold sensitive than the PCP.

Here's a good thread about that very rifle: http://targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?p=51399

I wouldn't pay over $350 for any springer, unless the sights cost more than that and I wanted them for some other gun.

i buy and sell and these guns sold for a ton of money when new. when someone is about giving one away i take notice. i got it today very cheap. its a lefty so i plan on shooting it some before passing it on. just another toy to play with.

The 603 is a single stroke Pneumatic. They're about 20 years old now. Fully capable of cleaning the 10M target. If I were making a run at the National Team I'd be shopping for a pre-charged...but if I were a lefty and wanting to plink and practice, I'd be interested for the right price.

a few pics of the one i bought.

True lefty! Nice rifle. Sometimes they'll just drop a right hand receiver into a left handed stock. Not this one. If you decided to sell, give me a heads up. I know of a lefty junior that's a year or so off from shopping for a full sized Air Rifle. Shooting sporter air right now and hoping she continues.

Nice rifle!
