Re: What’s the difference between the Grunig GO, XRS, and RS stocks?
You've got most of it but of note the GO can also with the aid of a part have the offset of the butt be changed between something like +7mm to -7mm wit 3 settings in between as opposed to the RS and XRS being set at +7mm

Re: Reverse engineering SCATT
Someone on a UK target shooting forum built one and has the source code etc available FOC. Not all the features of the real thing but plenty good enough and probably better than the basic Scatt

Re: Monocle or Monoframe?
Just to echo Tim's comments but also if you use them the Anschutz Monoframe has a M3 tapped hole at the end which you can use to attach a blinder should you use one, simply buy an M3 wheel screw and cut a blinder out of a plastic milk bottle or similar, easy to attach without dismantling the iris/re...

Re: Cheating at ISSF Olympic Qualification Championship 2024
In this case we can look at the Whoop as being a one way communicator, the stream of actual information is from the device to another remote device held in a bag or by the coach. As far as I'm aware there will be return data sent but only in the form of data received acknowledgements and data checks...

Re: Grunig R3 racer vs Walther kk500
I have the XRS/R3 Grunig, I moved to it from a Feinwerkbau 2700 last year, I wanted a new rifle and one with a shorter bolt so the considerations were, Grunig, Walther, Bleiker and the new Feinwerkbau. After being advised, I was lucky enough to be able to try out the first three in person, albeit wi...

Re: Horizontal Pulse in prone
I had a horizontal pulse appear from nowhere a few weeks ago, my position didn't feel right at the time but equally is didn't feel wrong. I found as I got up a brass disc nut on my mat but I didn't recognise it until I got home; it was part of my sling (Centra anti pulse) and one of the screws had c...

Re: Cateracts and seeing the target
I had them, much the same symptoms, a dark woolly directly over the target and opening the iris allowed a little more vision but without the same level of focus. Opening the iris allows diffuse light from different points on the target to reach your eye around the cataract whereas the small aperture...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?
Mike M. above mentioned the monofocal, per his Doc, is the best visual acuity. That’s what I’ve always read online. Different lens allow different percentage of light into the eye is also per research online. Medicare will pay for only needed cataract surgery and provide a set of basic lens, meanin...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?
I had both eyes done, like someone above I chose the mono focal lens as it seemed the best option for me. I have astigmatism and apparently they isn't fixed by lens replacement. Initially after getting a new prescription lens for my shooting glasses I had a near perfect sight picture but six months ...

Re: paper to electronic score improvement (25yd prone)
That's a bit of a double edged sword as when those rich members shoot a competition at a range that use paper targets they could be at a disadvantage. The way I see it though is you should be able to move between diagrams without dropping points, it's an exercise in sorting out your NPA quickly and ...

Re: Walther KK500 rod guide
Very cool! Similar to the Grunig guide but with the extra O rings and a rod specific guide which I assume needs to be removed to fit fresh patches or felts.
Top job, remember there are other actions out there that need guides too!

Re: Gehmann Diopter
I used one for a couple of years. It does the job well but with a slight dimming of the image which is only noticeable on a very dim range. Dead easy to set up, you just need your sphere and Cyl measurements from your optician, dial those in and fit it to your rearsight in the correct orientation; d...

What's your procedure? What kit do you use? How often do you clean?

Thanks Art, my my wife and I do use the same zeros but to be honest it would do her no harm to fire off a couple of shots to reset after me. Seeing how cash is a little short at present one way or the other I will be in touch with you as soon as I have a prescription if that's OK. The chances are th...

Nice one Art, that looks interesting, is there any advantage of having the lens upstream? I share my rifle with my wife at the moment, hoping to get her own soon. I take it that is easy to remove and replace without loosing the lens? The Anschutz one would just flip up out of the way. I have seen so...

My apologies for the lack of thanks for your detailed replies, I've been having a spot of bother logging in. For now as I don't shoot competitively a 12 - 14 hour round trip to Bedford seems a bit excessive, although I don't doubt for a second the results would be worth it. Art, as you say $40 plus ...

Thanks for the replies, very helpful I live in Anglesey North Wales, not many target shooters up here, I'd be very surprised to find a target shooting/understanding optician within 100 miles but if you know of one I'd me more than grateful. Yes I wear reading glasses and lately my old reading glasse...

Glasses for 10m
Hello
I think I need glasses for my shooting, of late I am having difficulty getting a clear image while aiming. I have an appointment to see about this in a couple of weeks. Could someone tell me at what distance should the glasses be optimised at for 10m shooting please
Thanks
