Good Entry Level Field Target Rifle

I have never had the chance to shoot in an FT competition, so this question is probably better on the forum. It is not only a question of position, but you start getting into the rules that define what class you will shoot in.
If you havent been to a shoot yet, you would probably do best to take an accurate rifle, bucket and sticks and "run what you brung" while you observe and ask a million quesrions before spending a million dollars.

"Tylerdefrese"Oh , also, how useful is a hamster while competing. What are some advantages and disadvantages? And do they make some that can attach to a swivel stud or just for the dovetail groove on the bottom of some guns. I've done a really small amount of research on them and didn't find too much. Thanks again!

I added one to my marauder and it made a world of difference for standing and kneeling shots. It's much steadier for sitting shots as well. I shoot in the open class. Mine isn't fancy, but it works.

Off hand my top recommendation for a starting FT pcp rifle would be,
a marauder or a BSA barreled rifle(I've owned dozens of rifle but my most accurate to date is a custom BSA Scorpion SE).
other option would be the disco and maximus(biggest downside is ht count and the trigger), the AA s200 is a good rifle.
And there are of course other but the mrod really has a lot to offer.
It has a good shot count is quite, the stock works well and has an adjustable cheekpiece, trigger is phenomenal when tuned and
even out of the box is quite good. And there is an abundance of info on tuning them and aftermarket parts for them.

If you are still looking for a PCP, I have a .177 marauder tune by ajshoots that he fully tuned, regulated and added a SSG to
as well as his own trigger job, it get 75 regulated shot at 19fpe from a 3000psi fill and it is very efficient and quiet. PM me if you would be interested.

You guys think the fx streamline would be a good ft gun?
