Yes I have noticed that my wobble settles then rises again. Some of those long holds are due to me adjusting my rear toe to get my NPA on target. Unfortunately the lens does not have enough angle to show my feet. I come from a light benchrest background. The rifle is a cheap knock off but it's pure ...

Thank you, agreed not all advice is good advice and not all good advice works for everyone. And I agree I need some face time coaching and thanks to this thread I may have a good lead. I'm stuck at about 8.9/9.0 I actually have a jacket but when I shot the video I was not wearing it. I get a clearer...

Thanks everyone for the replies and PM's I put in a long 5 hours today trying to put the comments into practice. I had glimmers of success but overall it was frustrating. I know I'll have to work on it for some time One thing I cannot seem to do is bring my left arm more inline/forward without my el...

Thank you for the pointers. The trigger take up is partly old habit and partly an effect of the enormous first stage on this rifle. The second stage is very nice and adjustable but the first stage is what it is. I don't take up the first stage until my NPA has settled, this is what I was taught in t...

I gave this one a try because of some really bruised knuckles. The price doesn't reflect the quality. It seems to work very well and as the name suggests it is very strong. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-Curve-Strong-Leather-Shooting-glove-Fingerless-ISSF-/370457696595?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&var=&am...

Sorry I forgot to mention that is Length of Pull only.

For full axis adjustment I usually fit the universal intermount from Brownells

Quite easy to do

Contact Daisy and see if they still sell parts for the Legacy 22LR

The adjustable buttplate from the Legacy is almost a direct match to the x53's

Archer airguns "one minute click" is incorrect. Or just poorly stated

My BS4 is 5 clicks for a minute adjustment

And JustaDude is correct the clear inserts I have here measure 16.5mm with verniers and they were for the FWB 300

I know this is an older thread but I have this exact same problem. And after looking at the girls picture I have the same eyelids, slightly heavy with a fold.

I use a piece of tape above my eye to put a bit of tension on the skin because mine can occlude 25%.
