I would like to get a repeater but do not want to spend over 700 or 800 to get one. What I am going to use it for is practice for bullseye. I have seen the DU10 and the twinmasters on the web but I really do not know about either on the personal side. SO I thought I would come to the source of great shooter and pleanty og knowledge. Thanks for what info you can provide as to a direction to look.
Warren suggested looking for a used LP5 but that is if I can find one.
Thanks again
Craig
WHat kind to get

The DU10 is a true semi auto but the trigger is not a 10m match trigger. The price is pretty good however and they are a blast to shoot.
The twinmaster is a revolver style action and thus the trigger pull is long and hard if you do not cock it between shots.
Your best option is a used FWB C5, FWB C55, or a Steyr LP5 (CO2 version) if you want a 10m match grade trigger (or close to it) and accuracy.
There is the long discontinued Crosman 600 but they tend to not get a lot of shots per 12g cartridge

Semi auto pistol
I am looking to get a repeater but do not want to spend over 800 for it. I was told by Warren to look for a LP5 but those are hard to find. I have seen the DU10 and the Twinmasters on the web but not in person. SO I thought I would come here to get your opinions on what to get and what to avoid.
Thanks

what kind to get
Have you talked to Neal Stepp? He Just may have something that will fit your budget.
Aeron
I have shoot a few pellets with Aeron and it´s really good pistol. Accuracy is great (lotharwalther), trigger is great and the price for it I thing is great too. Really nice gun.

Warren is right
I have owned an Aeron B-96 CO2 semi auto, and an LP-5. The quality of the LP-5 is most notable in the reliability and finely machined and fitted parts made of a material of suitable hardness. Much more substantial pistol than the B-96. Both the B-96 and the LP-5 were very accurate, and had good triggers. The B-96 I had (well actually the three B-96s) were prone to malfunction. There is a very fine balance between trigger adjustment and magazine feed, actually on both pistols. But, the LP-5 seemed to be much more forgiving in the respect of trigger adjustment. Or, I just finally learned how to do it. The LP-5 never malfunctioned.
So far, since Warren came to work at Pilkington's, I have relied on him for advise on air pistols and rifles, mostly pistols, and he has been right in every case. His advise is sound and reliable. The only mistakes I have made in buying 10 m stuff, was when I did not follow his advise.
Respectfully,
Bubba
