Really outstanding, thanks for sharing pictures - helps folks like me with model names/numbers-.
Indeed a proper Starling rifle a lot of people wanting a back yard starling et al. rifle for 10 to 30 yards but perhaps do to youtube instead of meeting people ( ? ) the same folks think they want/need a .25, odd.
I've only shot three of the 75's. Naturally looking backwards I should have purchased " the pretty one" the misses liked that a GOB club member had for sale at a value. Oh well.
Roz Sumpter let me test out his left hand 75 set up for FT, awesome rifle - I shoot lefty- and my first exposure to the 75's. Typical good airgun friend, "hey do you want to shoot this one?". A couple of weeks later some Vols fan showed up ready to duel with Roz using his " 10m " rifle.
Good practice clicking , " I only need 220 clicks" .
Really a good looking rifle to me
Pretty sure he scored over 50 and at Roz's that alright, for a 10m kit.
That day of shooting fun was what inspired me to move a 12fpe targets out to 110 yards. They could shoot 55 yards at 6fpe, I should be able to shoot 110 with 12fpe, LOL. Maybe if I had their 12fpe rig ? Or a little less sahke with my trigger?
Thanks for sharing,

Thanks so much Guys! I found it at a local firearms dealer back in '06 for $250. It needed new seals and I put it on my "to do" list. I did my research and came to the conclusion that properly rebuilding it was beyond my skill level...so off to Airgunwerks it went! Too long of a spring,too many damn parts and just too many "Jesus clips" to contend with. The wood and metal are in Great shape,plus it came with the competition front sight and an upgrade model 82 Diana rear sight ( Both in Excellent condition) which are safely stored away.
When I bought it,I really didnt know much about these rifles...it just looked to be worth much more than the asking price and I remember the old Beeman catalogs stating that " Everyone should have the pleasure of owning a 10 meter match rifle". Plus,it just looked cool as hell! LMAO

It is good to see others appreciate the vintage 10 meter rifles. Yours is an absolute beauty and sounds like your putting it to good use. Have a couple D75's myself. They are great shooters.
