I suppose it depends on usage. For casual shooting the 65/80 is ideal and will be more than capable than all but the most elite. If you wish to compete in 10m then pcp or even co2 imo is the far better choice, not that it gaurentee's better scores. I'd love to own a 65 but in no senario can I imagine would I give my lp10e for it.
I shot mine in pistol field target, 10 to 25 yards. My scores with the Walther were higher, but not by much. If I were serious about 10 m shooting, I would certainly go PCP and probably the Steyr. I will probably never shoot CO2 again since I like shooting outdoors, even in the cold weather.
In recent years, I shoot spring powered guns almost exclusively. I have a nice Steyr LG100 that I shot a couple of FT matches with in the 2022 season, but I am back shooting my spring rifles again. Can't explain it, but I know I like shooting the spring gun rifles more than my pcp rifles. Maybe the challenge and uncertainty of it draws me.
Better can also mean different things to different people. I was thinking that the 25 to 30 year old or older FWB 65 and 80 pistols are going to outlast a PCP pistol bought within the last few years. The build quality is amazing.
I think that If I were lucky enough to find one at a decent price a FWB 65 or 80 would be more that sufficient to satisfy my casual target shooting needs. Ten meters indoors(my heated shop) on a cold winters day. Wish me luck and thank you all for your replies..Quadra
