Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Thanks all,

Yes, its a FWB300S Junior (or Mini) .177 cal 10mtr match air rifle. Sidelever springer but recoil-less.
The regular or match FWB300S is heavier (10.5lbs) and longer (42+ inches).
This one is lighter (8.5lbs) and shorter (38 odd inches). Just right for me.

It shoots ragged one hole groups from a rest at 10mtrs. Have tried H&N and RWS match pellets.
