Overview
The Walther LG400 is a .177 (4.5mm) single-shot, pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) match air rifle introduced in 2010 as the successor to the Walther LG300. Designed for 10-metre Olympic and ISSF competition, it draws air from a removable compressed-air cylinder and is built around a highly adjustable aluminium stock with the trademark Walther recoil-absorber system. It is one of the most successful 10m target air rifles in international and Olympic competition.
