Hello - considering that the average price of any of the imported APs is 01.10 lakhs - 01.75 lakhs it is unlikely that anyone would sell their's at so low a price (unless there was a major problem with it!). How long have you been shooting? (any competitions etc.?) Seeing that you have joined this forum in 2011 - you probably have been practicing shooting somewhere (which place are you from?). There is an outside probability the Precihole may come out with a PCP Pistol (they are launching a PC rifle early this year). Even then I am doubtful if it shall be within the budget you have mentioned - and it's use for competition (when pitted against German brands). There is also a Indian Hume Pipe company's AP:

Have NO idea about it's performance though. Another option for you is to get one on EMI (if you can find anyone willing to sell it that way).

Good luck

Hi
I have handled the IHP pcp airpistol. Its slightly on the heavier side but is largely accurate. The accuracy increases as you tune it up or modify it and also, use proper pellets. I used RWS 7 grains and found then to be great for starters.
But again, handling is nothing compared to Pardini Morini or Steyr. Its total cost is around 13k,incl filling hose and all taxes. It can be ordered directly from IHP and details are available on their site .

I use a steyr lp 10. Believe me you can't find any of your favoured brands for less than 1 lac or in that vicinity. Use a rifle club air pistol - am sure they have some nice ones for you to practise with.
