Sight extensions

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a 15 inch or longer bloop tube. I am currently shooting a Anschutz 2013 with the 690mm barrel with a 10 Inch tube but do to being only 125 pounds this heavy of a barrel is too much for me. I am going to put a 500mm barrel on but I want to keep the same ...

The glove is a " Uncle Mikes" glove. It is normally a weight lifting glove but I like it because its flexible but still supportive. And as far as the sights go I am not sure if they are too high but I dont think they are because its the same setup as what the winner at the junior olympics ...

Hello Albert, I believe that the picture was taken at a little bit of an angel and so it looks as though I am not leaning back much. I will try leaning back more to see if it helps though. Silentfury, I do not put a ton of pressure on the grip but there is some, but I think this may be part of the P...

Ok sorry had a stupid mistake on that last post. I shoot with my legs about 32in apart sorry about that. And as far as cutting the barrel goes, how much does this cost normally? I live in southern Texas near Houston. Are there any people around that do this type of thing?

Ok well that sounds like an option but is there anything I could do that won't cost much Or anything at all? Would there be any position changes I could do? I shoot with my legs 41 in apart and have my hand right in front of the action. If I can I will post a pic later. Any ideas appreciated. TEN DOT

Ok I have thought of cutting the barrel but am unsure of how and am unsure If it will reduce accuracy? I definitely don't want to spend much money on this due to funds being tight. Anyone know how to cut the barrel and still have it accurate? I'm only in high school so I'm unsure. Thanks in advance

Gun weight problems

I recently purchased a 2013 anschutz rifle in a 2313 stock. It has the longer barrel, I think it is the 660 or 690mm. I have shot it some and find that in standing my lower back begins to hurt. I believe this is do to the fact that the rifle weighs close to 14 pounds and I am only 5' 7'' and 125lbs....

I did it. I added about 2lbs to my rifle. I did it by filling the holes under the cylinder as well as the hole in the stock with lead shot from a shot shell mixed with 5 minute epoxy. All we did was put seran wrap in the hole we wanted to fill mixed the lead shot with epoxy and poured. It worked out...

It weighs around 7.275lbs. I want it to be around 9.5 to 10lbs. Is this even possible to get it to weigh...
