Walther LG500 Itec M Benchrest

The Walther LG500 Itec M Benchrest sets itself apart from the top-tier BTe model with its purely mechanical trigger. Unlike the integrated trigger of the BTe in the grip, the mechanical trigger on the LG500 Itec M Benchrest is traditionally connected to the rifle – perfect for shooters who prioritise a high-level mechanical trigger.

Of course, Walther has equipped the LG500 Itec M Benchrest with all the advanced technological features that set the LG500 series apart from other 10 metres air rifles. These are, among others, the itec System bedding, Walther Visionic Match Diopter and the Accuracy Control System. Below, we’ll give you an overview, complete with a clear explanation:

Stability & Response System (SRS)

Walther has gone to great lengths to provide the LG500 itec M Benchrest with unmatched stability. Integrated shock-absorbing mechanisms (Adaptive Inline Impulse Equaliser and pneumatic recoil damper) reduce recoil and vibration to an absolute minimum. The smooth and nearly vibration-free loading mechanism also contributes to this.

Walther Balancing System (WBS)

The Walther LG500 itec M Benchrest can be finetuned with 90 grams balance weights on the forend and buttstock to suit your preferences. Both the length of pull and the height of the cheekpiece can be adjusted with a stepless geared mechanism. The shoulder piece is also fully adjustable, completely stepless, in height, angle and size.

Accuracy Control System (ACS)

For the LG500, Walther has optimised the barrel profile as well as the interface between the barrel and the action. In short, everything is perfectly aligned for maximum stability and vibration control. This takes reliability, consistency, and precision to an even higher level.

ECO Valve Technology

The ECO valve technology ensures the most efficient use of compressed air. The result of this technology is not only reduced air consumption, but also lower recoil and a shorter lock time.

Trigger

The two-stage trigger features:

• Adjustable trigger pull weight: 50 g – 120 g
• Adjustable first-stage travel
• Direct trigger (no first stage) possible
• Adjustable let-off point (break point)
• Dry firing capability
• Multi-adjustable trigger blade (length position, lateral rotation, height)

Walther itec System Bedding (ITEC)

With a larger surface area between barrel and stock, stress is minimised. The clamping system has lateral and elevation adjustment. The new bedding system will provide more feel between stock, barrel and action by having them act together better as a whole. Reducing vibrations is also an important factor here.

Walther Visionic Match Diopter (WVM)

The diopter on this match air rifle can be adjusted extremely stable, with a very accurate return-to-zero, thanks to the ball bearing parallel guide with micro-adjustments. To keep the sight picture as clean as possible, the elevation and windage turrets have a low profile. For this reason, the overall height of the diopter is kept as low as possible too, which assists in down-range focus. A secondary sight (slot) on top will help with rapid target acquisition.
