Re: Pardini GPR1

The pardiniusa website is poorly constructed, but if you go to their store (you have to click store-pistols) the page shows up with categories that include the GPR Rifle and Bleiker.

Cheers to Tim S, that perfect response made me laugh!

Re: New ISSF Rules - Partial Summary

Did i just read 3po air rifle 10m as an official issf évent ? Hell yes, in France we have this for children, i loved it but now have to wait summer season to go to the 50m range. I think he was implying that the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) 3-P Air Rules were updated with the proposed ISSF r...

Re: Walther KK500

because I feel cheeky today....I checked the ISSF finals for the Olympics but all I saw in mens prone were Bleikers and one lone KK300 that won (congrats to Henri!)...3x40 no walthers made the cut....just throwing that out there. With that said if anyone tells you the KK500 or Bleiker is a miracle g...

Re: What's the problem with 4-H?

Just curious as to the point of this thread or what you wanted to accomplish? It sort of has the feeling that you asked for opinions and now don't like the answer provided. I think most people here have been involved in 4-H or still are, and we have a lengthy background and understanding of the prog...

Re: What's the problem with 4-H?

I think Joel covered the bases. The biggest issue I've seen is inconsistency with the State adopted rules and the Nationals governing rules, and in Colorado there is a real issue (IMHO) with the rules as determined by the State versus the rest of the world. If they want a solid message and direction...

Re: Air Rifles

Since your thinking collegiate that would omit 3-P air, so I wouldn't be to concerned about prone (from other respondents), just standing only. It is really Ford, Chevy and Dodge on this, and there are alot of good strings in the search that cover alot of the arguments for and against. I wouldn't th...

Re: Adding accessory rail to Savage mark 1or 2?

Completely understand, racked my brain on it for awhile as well. Would love to hear a easy solution. I like the idea of just drilling and moving the pin back, probably a good work around. Those pins arent the best though, I had one youth crank on his sling and pull the pin out of the stock (imagine ...

Re: Adding accessory rail to Savage mark 1or 2?

Most of what I've seen is the conversion to a wooden stock and then the rail attached. similar to what Joel did the with CM-2 (we just grind the sling adapter to fit the CM-2 rail though) Theres quite a few after market wood stock and laminates for savage rimfire rifles but they get spendy.

Re: Book for 10M AR Shooting

Agreed with Joel, the new air rifle book is like a Masters. However, very good book, very well detailed, and entirely more information than you can get out of it in one sitting. I think I read it multiple times this weekend and its definitely worth picking up in addition to Ways of the Rifle.

Re: Taking advantage of the strong dollar and buying from Eu

As for equipment/supplies, I just bought direct from Tec Hro for some items not readily offered in the US and the benefit of the exchange rate was pretty good. Shipping via DHL was about $50 and I received the order in about 1 week. I have found a few suppliers who are passing along the savings in e...

Re: ACE lenses - for Champion Olympic shooting glasses

Thanks, I agree with higher power and longer distances. I was just confused on the Champion Olympic glasses reference since I mainly see those in 10meter air or 50m smallbore, I didnt know you were using them at long range distances with a .308. So I guess that was the disconnect!

Just for my own education, because I find this interesting, why go with colored lens's versus a clear lens and multi adjustable color rear iris? As a volunteer at some of the US major matches, I haven't really picked up on any multicolor lens's in Champion frames, but I do see a lot of clear shootin...

Re: How do the FWB 800 Universal and Anschutz 8002 S2 compar

Too little too late that was a quick decision! I was just going to offer up there is are a few distinct differences with the 8002 S2 aluminum stock and the 800 universal wood laminate when it relates to adjust ability. Perhaps the 800 evolution or 700 alu would be more of a side by side comparison. ...

Re: Rifle sight riser blocks

We seem to accumulate set risers blocks (4mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc) to try to fit and we eventually just switched and invested in adjustables (mec, centra, tec-hro, etc). Basically by the time we bought different set sizes we could have bought an adjustable.

Re: Daisy AVANTI Triumph 747 Air Pistol

We have both the Daisy and the Crosman 2300 available in our club and most (all?) of the juniors prefer the Crosman. I think it comes down to the lever mechanism versus the CO2. I think you can order a custom 2300 from Crosman for about the same price as the Daisy.

Nothing in the OP about 3P.
Sorry I was being presumptuous since Todd's daughter had just finished a 3P competition I thought his question may have been along those lines, but you are correct there is nothing about it. It would still be nice to know though.
