Not excusing Rover, but he does make a good point. I firmly believe every BE shooter should shoot air pistol. In fact, every serious BE shooter I know does. And in terms of actually getting better, shooting a lot and hoping to just get better is not limited to BE. You could say the same for any spor...

Missed my score from December!

So I shot the Winter Airgun Championships at Camp Perry this past weekend. Man, what a ton of fun. Made the "Super Finals" on Sunday, which was 20 shooters. First time ever shooting a final with elimination. It wasn't ISSF spec, but a whole lot of fun. Finished 11th, didn't shoot my best, ...

Better consistency this morning, a new PR. Happy with my progress.

Just shoot and post! They'll add you in.

Not off topic at all. There's always the chance I'm doing it wrong! I use the iris for two reasons: consistent head position, and it helps bring both the front and rear sights into focus. Without it, it SEEMS that the rear sight is too blurry, and I feel like my groups open up. That said, I've not p...

Ordinary frames sound good from a price standpoint, but I'm trying to get away from a bulky clip-on iris.

One more question... For this who use the Champion glasses, which size lens do you use? 32 or 42?

Dave

A much fairer comparison to the Knobloch frames are the World Champion frames, which ChampChoice doesn't carry. I'd call Neal Stepp at ISS. He carries Champion, Jaggi-Nova, Junker, Knobloch, & MEC frames. He's a one man shop with low overhead, so he probably has lower prices than ChampChoice as...

Ok, so looking at Champchoice, getting all the pieces I want (frames, blinder, iris, +0.50, +0.75), my cost for Knoblochs is $269. Cost for the Champion Olympic is $424. Are the Champions worth the extra $155? The obvious difference is steel vs titanium. Any other major differences I should be aware...

Thanks guys. Another question, are these frames legal for free pistol? Specifically if you don't have a lens over the left eye but just a blinder? Doesn't seem the safest... If they aren't, what are people using for free pistol?

Dave

Getting tired of shooting air pistol with my bullseye glasses. Looking to get into some glasses with a left blinder and right diopter with adjustable iris. Done some research, but having trouble finding comparisons between the major brands. Any recommendations? Champion, Knobloch, Gehmann, MEC? Anyo...

I agree with Gwhite. I actually use a tiny square of masking tape. Works a treat.

New PR. First match at Perry next weekend. Curious to see how it goes!

Dave

Looking at that pic, only one set screw is being used. I'm going to guess that shoe was not designed for a Hammerli.

Dave

Thanks for the detailed write-up! All makes sense, except I can't quite visualize where you installed the shim. At any rate, you've given me something to check. I too have a new one. Working on the ejector fixed feeding issues I had, but I still occasionally have a stovepipe. My bullet Insert lever ...

Not to hijack a thread, but what did you need to do to the MG2 extractor? I had to reprofile the ejector to get reliable function. Just curious more than anything else? How old is your's?

New here (and still pretty new to AP!). Shot my first actual timed 600 this morning... 91 93 88 89 91 89 - 541 Morini CM200E ISSF, Paper Targets Sub-6 ChampChoice 4.50 M 39 I can shoot better, but happy with the consistency. Hoping to post regularly here. Should be at Camp Perry in Nov and Dec. Dave

I could call around, but can anyone save me the hassle and tell me who works on Morini AP's? Looking for a 200, but would like to purchase from someone who actually repairs them. My list so far is Champchoice, pyramyd-air, Neil Stepp, and Pilkington (though he only has the 162 listed on his website....

Jerry Keefer recommended a .372 taper crimp for 148 HBWC, but that was for revolvers. Not sure what be used on 52's...
