AA FTP900 OR STEYR LG110, Which one the best for FT and HFT Competitions?

The Styer has an incredible trigger. The report is a little sharp but all in all it is a very sophisticated PCP. The balance is exceptional as well. If I had to choose between the LG and AA the clear winner in my opinion is the Steyr. The Steyr has a better balance to me. I hold the opinion that gun balance is critical in FT. Just to muddy the waters a little for you, I would also look at the Rapid Air Weapons TM1000 FT Martin is building some exceptional rifles and his customer service is top notch. If all 3 were on the table I would pick the RAW. I like the solid feel, the smooth cocking lever and trigger is butter. When you call Martin it's like talking to an old friend.

EDIT: Removed post since the OP asked specifically about the AA FTP900 or STEYR LG110, not for recommendations on other rifles.

I also would lean toward the RAW in .177. I own a RAW in .177 and it is by far one of the most accurate rifles I have shot. I also own a MAC 1 Hunter in .177 and I think at this time the RAW edges out the MAC 1 just by a little.

Hi
I have a Steyr LG 110 FT Connect 2013 model. If you need a rifle for Field target shooting, there is no equal. If you go to the worlds ft, biggest majority will be Steyrs. Theses rifles are the best. Mine shoot sub 1/4" groups at 50 meters. I will post a pic when I get home. I get anything from 60 - 70 shots per fill. It is just perfect for shooting FT. 


I have shot the new AA FTP 900. The rifle is good, but to my experience not anything close to the Austrian Steyr. Like I tell everyone, I don't like my Steyr rifles, I love them.

Alber you could try contacting Rapid Air Weapons directly (just google them) to see if they can ship to your country? There might be restrictions but there are online RAW reviews seemingly from other countries:

I own a Steyr LG-110 - and can say it is the most accurate rifle I've shot to date. 
Would say STEYR -Hands down.

I can tell you this after shooting the FTP900 a few times(a friend owns one). If you miss it's your fault, and given the Steyr's reputation the statement remains the same.

Both rifles are capable of extremely accurate shots. The main factor in the equation is you. Only you can decide which of these two excellent rifles suits you best, it is not a case of one size fits all. Try them both out at your local shooting club if possible and make the decision a more personal one, it is a large expense to lay out on what someone else prefers.

I also have a Steyr LG 110 FT Connect 2013 model and I love it.
I have also shot the FTP900 ... its a stunning looking gun and it shot very well, but it did not fit me very well, even after I adjusted everything I could to get it to fit, it felt top heavy. my suggestion is adjust, hold, and shoot each one and make your decision based off of that 

I have one more reason why you should get the Steyr over the AA . That is try to work on your air arms rifle, try to swap out an o-ring, or just try to take off the barrel. Not that easy. You have to ship it all the way to England to get it serviced. 

Now, the Steyr, is super easy to work on. I can have my whole gun disassembled in less than 5 minutes. Plus it comes with all the tools to work on your gun. If my regulator breaks, or anything breaks, I get on the horn with steyr service department and they ship me a new part, and it's at my door in like 2-3 weeks. Quickly enough to make it to my next shoot.

that's why I don't like my Steyrs . . . I LOVE IT VERY VERY MUCH.

ok thanks a bunch

read your post and asked more questions up here in Canada, was trying to buy a FTP but found a Steyr lg110 ft, spoke to the guy on the phone,

went to visit him the next day and bought it, I am very pleased. the owner took the barrel off in 14 seconds, showed me how to charge barrel, then showed me the quick fill

he bought for it, the videos on Steyr website, and man what a nice rifle



pour yourself a drink, pat yourself on the back YOU MADE ME BUY THE RIGHT RIFLE. THANKS MAN. if I could send you a Xmas present I would



thanks. thanks. thanks

Steyr LG110 is a proven field target air rifle. I would not buy the Air Arms FTP 900. It will be replaced by a newer version called XTI50. I would wait until that version comes out and try it out.

I was really impressed with the prototype I shot at the Worlds in England. It was lighter and the barrel was free floated.

Work on and Service nearly all of them ... PERSONALLY Shoot a RAW TM-1000 and this by choice !!

Bulent1962:

The best gun will be the gun that you shoot more comfortable and the gun that gives you the most confidence in your shooting...

I would advice you to ask fellow shooters to let you shoot their guns so you get the "Feel" of that particular platform, shooters are generally very helpful when you ask them for this kind of advice.

Any of those guns are excellent and so are many other platforms...I have a Steyr LG-110, Anchutz 9003 and 9015, RAW's TM-1000, FWB's 700 and 800 and 2 Impacts..l.In the past I had a Walther that I passed to my son and out of these guns all but the Impacts are excellent platforms for FT...I kind of like wood stocks for FT and I stocked my Steyr with a custom wooden stock; I usually shoot the Steyr only because I can repair it in the field or completely overhaul it is 15-20 minutes and I carry the entire overhaul kit including vlve and an extra regulator with the tools to do it in my pocket or carrying bag; to me this fact is very important when you travel.

Both Anschutz and Steyr have a very nice feel and the RAW's have outstanding precision, but the precision required for FT is there with any of these guns and the success in the match depends 100% on the shooter.

Best regards,

between those 2, Steyr all the way. I have a few Steyrs and love em, I also have a Thomas thats a great shooter and I love it also. But between your choices, Steyrs are great guns that are all over the world with shooters winning alot of competitions with them. And if you have an issue with your Steyr, theyre a tons of guys shooting them and willing to offer up parts to fix your gun. Plus theyre way easy to work on and shoot great...BC
