Hammerli Match CO2 rifle

Is there anyway to replace the seals in an early Hammerli Match CO2 rifle? This is the model that uses 12g CO2 capsules and has a double trigger configuration where the forward trigger pops up a little cylindrical sleeve in the top of the barrel for loading the .177 pellet. A new capsule drains imme...

My recollection is that Art Cook, 1948 Olympic gold medalist in prone, national champion and several other international medals as well as a pretty good shot for 50+ years, saying that he did not clean his barrel at all and I don't recall him shooting any sighting shots (I was on a number of teams w...

Re: Burris Optics and USA Shooting Find What Matters with New Partnership Agreement

Even the top USA ISSF shooters don't get to shoot on electronic targets all the time. When rifle and pistol shooters are shooting practice or matches on paper targets they would need spotting scopes.

Looks like it is designed for the Crossman air rifles. Do not see how it could accept common European PCP adapters.

Re: Source for shooting jacket team/name placards

Stitching Designs (owner Mary Furr) has made these in the past and I believe still does.

www.etsy.com/shop/StitchingDesigns

She does not advertise them on her website so you will need to contact her for specifics and pricing.

Re: Trace 10

Chrome says downloading the software from the Trace website would be "dangerous" and has blocked it. I contacted Creedmoor and they are looking into it.

Re: No Buckeye Open in 2018....

What precipitated OSU's new "safety and liability concerns"? Hopefully these "concerns" won't extend to competitions at OSU against other collegiate rifle and pistol teams.

Re: Shooting jacket questions

The captain of the college team I coach prefers the Anschutz. It is a little thicker where it needs to be and seems to hold its stiffness a little better. It is also about twice the cost so I guess you get what you pay for.
