Overview
The Feinwerkbau 800X is a single-shot, pre-charged pneumatic .177 (4.5mm) match air rifle built for 10-metre ISSF Olympic-style target shooting. It runs from a 200 bar compressed-air reservoir feeding a parallel pressure reducer that smooths and regulates each shot release, and it is built on a fully adjustable anodized aluminium stock with a double-jointed height-adjustable buttstock, a rotatable cheek piece, and a 360-degree adjustable cocking lever. The rifle uses an adjustable two-stage match trigger and a micrometer diopter rear sight, and is offered in a range of laminated and anodized colour options.
