Re: Training Facility // Richmond Virginia
I don't have any 1st hand understanding of the area. Have you tried using the National Shooting Sports Foundation's "Where to Shoot" search tool? https://www.nssf.org/shooting/where-to-shoot/ USA Shooting has a similar tool. It shows a range west of DC in Centerville, VA. https://afc-iwla-...

Re: Reasonable expectations air rifle
If I did the math correctly, then the bottom table shows the aiming deviation angle from center to achieve each score with a bullet that just contacts the ring. Assumed 0.224" HP bullet and 0.177" pellet... Roughly, - a HP 200yd standing 10 is an air rifle 9 - a HP 200yd standing 9 is an a...

Re: Where to find outdoor smallbore upcoming events???
Many local clubs run unaffiliated matches, so it's always worth looking at their websites. Otherwise... ASSA - lists all known matches regardless of affiliate, but it's incomplete...

Maybe minutes 1:20 - 1:53 of this video from Guy Starik will help you align the shroud for reinstallation.

Re: Air Rifle Tuner
Moonlight - the Tec Hro unit IS an air rifle tuner (not rimfire)
Tuners adjust the barrel harmonics. So while an air rifle has much less/lower excitation force(s) than a 22 rimfire, there are some. Is an air rifle tuner worth it? Maybe, maybe not.

Re: SCATT for a Mac person
@porkchop, I'm no IT expert, but I do know that an obsolete operating system (i.e. Windows XP, or 7) alone isn't a reason for a computer not to work. That said, obsolete operating systems are no longer supported with security updates/patches. That means they are (extra) susceptible to viruses and ma...

Soft rifle case recommendations?
I'm looking for recommendations for a soft rifle case that would close with an assembled free rifle inside (60-65" long). I'm fortunate to have very close access to an indoor range, so I'm shooting at least once a week. I'd like to leave the rifle assembled to avoid the wear and tear of repeate...

Re: SCATT for a Mac person
Pretty much any modern laptop or PC is capable of operating the Scatt software. I've setup 2 systems using sub-$200 laptops. Just make sure the selected computer exceeds these minimum requirements SmartSelect_20230124_142510_Chrome.jpg Here's a link to the Scatt software and driver download links. B...

Re: Scope for training
A Scatt will help you much more. It will show you all of your movement leading up to, during, and after the shot, plus it will show where the gun really was pointed (i.e. poor sight alignment, ect).
A scope can help but comes with its own baggage.

Re: Need 54.30 barrel tenon dimensions or replacement barrel suggestion?
So I've learned more since originally posting. Semi-prefit barrels are available from Anschutz, but they do need to be headspaced. I'm not clear how the headspacing occurs, maybe with spacers. If you are in the US, Anschutz North America (GSI Inc in Trussville, Alabama) has replacement 54.30 barrels...

Need 54.30 barrel tenon dimensions or replacement barrel suggestion?
Will anyone share the barrel tenon dimensions (preferably via a drawing) for the Anschutz 54.30? Alternatively, does anyone know where to get a drop-in replacement barrel? Nordic Marksman (Nova Scotia) offers OEM replacements but won't import barrels into the US. I contacted a US Anschutz distributo...
