Bill Earnest (Earnest SHooting Products) can be reached at 570-797-4872. I have not used his buttplates (I have the MEC Free Position), but I see quite a few of them and those that use them seem to like them. If I didn't have the MEC (Came with the rifle I bought) I would buy one of his. In his 2006...

Success!!!

Well, the recrowning helped quite a bit. The man who did it told me it was one of the best factory crowns he had ever seen and wasn't sure what the results would be. My group sizes were about cut in half. One lot of SK Match went from an average of 0.133" to 0.066" another went from 0.105&...

Well, my rifle should be recrowned today. I'll be back at the range tomorrow for testing. I'll let you know how I make out. I'm hoping there will be a vast improvement.

i have heard more like 100,000 to 200,00 rounds before a smallbore barrel is shot out. 10 to 20,000 for a high power sounds right. Now that I think about it, from what I've been told, at one time Wigger shot about a case of ammo a week just practicing. that would mean he would need to rebarrel his r...

I have had this rifle for about 2 years now. Bought it brand new. I don't shoot nearly as much as I should, at max 3,000 rounds through it. The plan is to recrwon and test again. If that does not work...chop off 6 inches and recrown. If that fails rebarrel it.......Lilja comes highly recomended.

Spent some time today with various lots of Eley MAtch EPS, Eley Standard, Target Rifle, RWS R50, and MIdas M. None produced any results that were consistently better than anything else. I decided to have the barrel re crowned and see if that helps.

I was at the Zerbe Club testing with Bill Earnest. He told me he was testing with someone from oil city a few weeks ago. Was that you? Right now I have on order some lots of various Eley, RWS, and Lapua. I'm hoping to find something that will shoot almost perfect 0.224 holes.

Ammo Testing and Group Size

Hi all, I have had a Walther KK200 Power Match for about 2 years. I have been using some Eley Target Rifle that I had when I bought the rifle. Now that that is almost gone I decided to test ammo before I buy more. I spent the better part of Saturday testing lots of SK Match and Standard Plus using a...

Scope

I tried some of the cheaper scopes, then I got wise and traded them in and got a Kowa TSN-661 with the 25X LER eyepiece. I should have bought that one in the first place. Fortunately a great vendor was able to take my other two scopes in trade at Perry this year so I didn't loose that much money on ...

Who makes this item?

Somewhere I saw a device to attach the lens from you shooting frames to the rear iris. Does anybody know who makes it?
TIA

I've only ever seen these printed in German. You could try a translation program like babblefish.

The rifle is easily adjustable and everyting is well indexed so that your adjustments are eassy to reproduce. I have heard ...

which rifle

Why not stick with what you know. I shoot a LG300 also. When it came time to buy a smallbore rifle I got the KK 200 Power Match. The stock is very similar to the LG 300 and it was quite easy to set up. The rifle shoots great. Before I bought it I read somewhere (probably on this board) that it had t...

10M

I shoot a Walther LG300 Alutec. I like it a lot. If I practice regularly, I can shoot in the low 570's with this rifle. I dont really understand the need to take down a 10M gun. I leave mine setup in a hard case when not shooting it. I don't like the Steyr for one reason, there are no index marks on...
