Re: Precision Air Rifle for Junior

For 3P We went with a Anschutz in the precise stock built at the Anschutz custom shop. We had it lightened for our Jr. It weighs ~11.5 lbs, factory is ~13.5 lbs. It is lighter than factory because of the Shilen barrel which shoots as well as any Olympic rifle out there- Steve does a great job. 8.25m...

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

Too late, order placed. Decided to match triggers with our other Anschutz rifles (air and .22lr) and standardize on 54 actions though this one will be a 5430.
We were impressed with the Anschutz custom smith, Steve, who really knows his stuff.

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

My old eyes will be scoped. Back in 2015 Service Rifle scores upped 20% after two years of looking at a black fuzz ball and adding a legal 4x scope. Lesson learned. I get your point about old Anschutz but two things, one my skill level is pretty good, not a beginner and have won my share of state an...

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

yes Palma prone, sling 800, 900 & 1,000 yards, .22 1200 good practice for prone sling.

A new Vudoo barreled action, $1,800. It's not so much the price today it's what I own and its darn accurate. Sure I'd like to drop $7,000 on a new custom Anschutz but that not in the budget this year.

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

thanks. Serious competition but need to get the kid funded 1st so this year funds are limited. I was thinking the McMillan Palma stock could be used if MPA tanks. Then again could use Vudoo for prone only till next year (1200 match is all prone right?). I get plenty of offhand at SR and Silhouette. ...

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

old Anschutz & Vudoo - did not clean b4 test Lapua did the tests, not sure how they loaded. Vudoo has a single shot adapter available online. Do I need one for shooting the 1200? Just getting the gear ready for the first match. I'm going to try an MPA stock cause I like it for many other discipl...

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

Good, I have a Vudoo .22 with the Kukri 20" barrel, that proved out at 11.9 @ 50m (under12 as suggested) with Lapua Midas.- that will be my 3p rifle. Might try a tuner to tighten that. Waiting on the Anschutz custom for the Junior. Hoping for better. It will have a Shilen barrel. Maybe 6 weeks ...

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

I understood edge to edge. So we will see.
The factory offered these 10 shot groups at 50m from 5430 Factory barrel (not custom Shilen)

Re: 3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

i'm in Arizona. Decided to go with a new rifle from Anschutz custom shop in Las Vegas. Steve really knows his stuff and he is an avid shooter. They replace the factory Anschutz 5430 with Shilen barrel, add a tuner etc. This barrel will be 21-22", weight is a concern for Jr. hoping for 7-9mm gro...

Re: how tight of a group required for Olympic 50m .22 rifle

Agreed nothing better than practice but were dealing with a great shooter who is held back by equipment in this case.

We have been here before in F-TR. A better shooting rifle made the difference between winning and just chasing the leaders.

3p new barrel - which one? Shilen, Lilja??

Im not getting the accuracy wanted out of my 3p used rifle, 14.64mm at 50m just too big.- Lapua test center. Yes ill try some RWS and Eley before retiring this barrel. Seeking under 12mm. less than 10mm is a dream. Which barrel and how long? build is for a Jr. so 20" is better than 26 from that...

how tight of a group required for Olympic 50m .22 rifle

Im looking to qualify a rifle for 50m 3p ISSF and Olympic shooting. Just took and an Anshutz to Lapua test center. It groups at 14.6mm at 50m. I don't think that's good enough if the 10 ring is 10mm at 50. What is an acceptable group size for 50m 3p? Under 10mm? Who makes a rifle that will shoot wel...

Re: rifle fit for smallbore prone shooting

If I were on the line and someone asked me to try my rifle for fit I would. Actually I have, and let them have a few shots too.
Go to the matches and ask a few experienced shooters.
