Looking fior a decent quality target airt rifle for indoors winter pratice and heving a hell of a time finding anything.

Is there a canadian dealer for good quality air rifles or a place for a decent used one ?

D&L Airgun is another option, check out the canadian airgun forum for good used items.

Airgunsource has been good to me in the past.

If you're looking for Olympic quality FWB, Pardini, Anshutz, in the $4k range try Airguns Plus, Western Marksman, Cibles Canada.

Airgunsource and D&L. Both great.

Careful, they are addicting..

How much $$ do you want to throw at it?

To me, it's easier to justify (if there's a need) spending $$ on a nice air rifle...
- I can shoot it at home... therefore I save on $$ money not having to drive somewhere
- Being able to use it at home, I'll use it more often.... therefore the cost-per-shot will be much lower than a gun that just sit in the safe
- u Match quality pellets will cost you $12/500... it's quite a bit less than Eley Match @ $180/500 or center-fire match ammo at + $2 a shot

Heck, buying a nice airgun will save you money!

Some great points, i'm looking in the $1000 Price right.

Looking for something I can practice prone shooting with, I missed a Feinwerkbau on the EE it would've been perfect.

If you look at the US 4-H shooting programs, they have to shoot prone, so the 'approved' rifles will have a prone-friendly stock.

The Air Arms T200 is quite popular. (A re-badged CZ 200T)

Or the Air Force Edge, if you like the space-gun ergonomic better

Both of these rifles can be had for $700-$800 new.

For a little more money (+/- $1500), you'll find biathlon trainer.

FX Biathlon

Air Arms MPR Biathlon

If you don't mind cocking the rifle after each shot (and getting out of position) the Daisy 853 is pretty good. That's what the cadets used.
