Go to airline websites and check them out.Delta was ok a couple of years ago. Also it pays to check out check bag costs for a rifle case. look under sporting equipment to see if they let you check a rifle case without the oversize penality.If not it adds a lot to cost of flying because the oversize ...

It is possible for there to be something wrong with rifle.If the shot sounded different it could be a problem. I would either group test or fire over a chronograph. I would check it after firing a lot of shots and maybe with cylinder at same level as when he had problem. I think it would take a lot ...

I think the achiever works well until they grow into a 1912 or a 1907 in a aluminum stock.The cm2 cadet is a good choice for something in between, but kids hit a pretty good growth spurt around 12 to 14, girls sooner than boys.The good thing is a 1912 or 1907 is a rifle she would never grow out of.I...

I agree with the other posts ,if she can use the achiever a little longer her next rifle can be the one that will last her.I would suggest a 1907 action in 1912 wood stock or the 2213 aluminum stock.Watch out for the 1907 in the 1907 wood stock with hook buttplate as is being sold ,its length of pul...

Ernest shooting products makes a very nice bloop tube for the anschutz barrel with the groove for the front sight.It is one piece with two small pins that locate it on the sight grooves repeates very well.easy to clean being one piece and allows one to clean end of muzzle with it off.

I think it is ok in our area to allow a new shooter to use a highpower coat as I did when I first started.What I feel is when you shoot in a highpower coat but without the international style pants and boots you are actually at a disadvantage.I do feel this helps to get some new shooters to try smal...

Thanks but I checked the rule book first.I see conventional position shot on the a23 target but that is 4position.I looked again but still do not see 3p conventional position.I would say that the 4p scores would be pretty close.Thanks again

Those look like the percentages for the international target which has a tiny 10 ring, I would think there would be a new higher set of numbers for the a23 target.
