Re: Smallbore FWB vs Ans vs Walther

The Walther kk500 lightweight would be an excellent choice.

Re: Anyone recognize this rest?

The latest version is called the NEO-X. Sebastian's rests and the Joy Pod-X are incredible pieces of equipment.

Re: Choosing a Sling

Used an Anschutz leather Professional sling for over years and it functioned great. Upgraded to the Thune ATL sling over 3 years ago and like it even more.

Looked at the Centra, but know of too many that the material ripped out and failed. Maybe it’s been resolved, but I’m not sure.

Re: Kurger targets are no longer accepted by the NRA

The Kurger paper is superior for indoor targets, but fails miserably when used outdoors. The paper is too brittle for use in even moderate winds.

Again, not certain for the non-acceptance across the board by the NRA, but the outdoor breakage was an issue.

Re: Target rifle: Feinwerkbau vs Walther vs Pardini vs Tesro

What is the reasoning behind opting for the mechanical trigger against the electronic, from a performance point of view? Electronic triggers are not very common with rifles and as Mark mentioned, always have 2 electronic triggers - one to use while the other is in for repair. Also throw in that you...

Re: Target rifle: Feinwerkbau vs Walther vs Pardini vs Tesro

My opinion only.... While Anschutz rifles are good, the 54.30 was less of an upgrade and more like just a quick stop gap to make the 54 series action a little more ergonomic for loading. Comparison of the loading port location to the others referenced make it even more clear while improved, it's sti...

Re: cheap wind flags

I make my own flags and use a 1/2" x 1/2" wooden dowel w/ an oversize hole in the top for the flag arm to rotate freely.

IMHO, the light surveying tape is too sensitive and becomes almost useless in moderate winds.

Re: KK500 Front site ladder

The newer Walther front sights are 11mm (Centra), so it would fit on most step bases.

Any of the solutions will work....boils down to preference and the wallet.

Re: KK500 Front site ladder

Maybe use a thin riser block under the front sight for 3-p / 50m and then move it when shooting 100 yards?

2 step base, but that depends on how front sight is attached, etc.
