NRA rules concerning palm rest??

Is there a rule about how much vertical drop there can be from the center line of bore to the palm rest?

Can you manufacture one that theoretically allows the elbow to completely rest on hip to brace gun? That's not exactly what i want to do, but you get the idea.

Yes I did. Love it. Hit the front post from base up with a little green and put a thin line of white just at the crest. Sighted in for the bull to rest just inside the edges of the U.

also had to back up on the added vision correction. backed up to a +.5

Re: thanks to all who are helping me! range report...

Thanks guys. Its a plan then. Shooting the other day had quite a bit of white area around bull so I'll buy a couple Wednesday. The larger of the two I tried was a larger aperture both in hole and thickness of bars. I'll be at champions choice so I'll pick up a few to try.

Re: thanks to all who are helping me! range report...

How do I order more specific apertures? How do I name/number what I want? If I needed thinner ring width? Smaller circle? Is it numbered the same if I try the circle only types?

Re: thanks to all who are helping me! range report...

Tim, thanks for the reply. I sighted in first for the 3.7 and then didn't change the sight and just tried the other two inserts. The bullseye is 3 7/8 inches. The stock positions need to be adjusted. Still trying to get a feel for it. I need to move that sharp angle of the cheekpiece over to a flatt...

best quick detachable rings for anschutz receiver...

please post your personal, experience based recommendations please. I can get a forward cantilever that looks ok in a BKL but it's not easily detachable but not too tough either. thinking of going with quick detachables if they are good now.

Re: aperture for aging eyes and open sights

A temporary solution is also to take a post it note and put your hole in it and then affix to a lens.

I've been researching ammo to see if I could find an out of the box consistent performer. I really don't like the idea of excessive measur...

If you want to make a day trip over to Memphis one weekend I'll put you behind an Annie with irons or set your rifle up to experiment with the bloop tube, front and rear apertures, filters plus I have a set of test lenses to determine the sight correction. If you aren't in a hurry to buy sights you...
