Rao Saab , i think there alrdy exists a post on this somewhere here.
However just a small point i wud like to make , i love Trap and if i want to take up trap it does not neccesarily mean that i need to shoot a K80 if Michael Diamond uses one (not that he does)
Hence its not reqrd for me to start Trap only wth a Kreighoff , a Baikal may do as well
Cheers Rohit.

Abinav was using his Walther Air Rifle for the final match ( don't know exact model number ).
I thinks such a rifle will cost about ~2Lacs in India.

Infact, can someone tell what pellets he was using. I read in the newspaper that Abhinav located a chinese pellet manufacturer who was supplying the Chinese shooting team and sourced his pellets from him. However, there was no mention of the name of the manufacturer.
