I'm stuck trying to find a rifle for Field Target in US. To put this in perspective: I have an FX Boss (0.30), Daystate Air Wolf (0.22) and a Daystate Huntsman Regal (0.22).
The Air Wolf could possibly be used because I can set power to 12 and 20 ft/lbs, but its not ideal because it lacks ability to adjust stock, add a hamster etc; also I'd like to prefer a 0.177. I'm happy not to be stuck in WFTF, so 20 ft/lbs is OK (but probably the gun should be tuned to lower power).
I'd really like to not shell out $$$ for a Thomas or Steyr. Daystate Ataman is a possibility, but its fixed at 12 ft/lbs and is also pretty $$, and has no track record. The FX stream line at 1st seemed attractive, but is probably a poor choice for 0.177, given issues with ST barrel at low velocity? Other contenders are Benjamin Marauder, which would probably need a moderator, or RAW (but I'm concerned about weight). What am I missing, and what do FT experts suggest?
