Just bought new Thune Jacket and Trousers, made to measure, expensive, but I had a good look at lots of kit before I bought and I felt the Thune was just that bit better. I know a lot of people with Monard kit but the detailing around the shoulder strap was never quite right and the upper arm for th...

Wooden stocks on new rifles are a waste of time. Modern woods are not the same high quality of woods used 30 years ago.

Olympic gold held by a wooden stocked 2013!!!

Stock material is really only a personal preference, although alloy stocks are more adjustable.

If cost isn't a problem, the barrel and action to go for just now seems to be the Bleiker, which is hand made and is quite expensive, in the UK the figures mentioned are around £1800. Stocks are really down to personal taste, if you want an alloy stock the Grunig is quite nice as is the new HPS 703,...

I don't think there is a single answer to that question. At the very least you'll have to add "at what distance?" As this is the Olympic Rifle section of the forum can we limit this discussion to ISSF 50 m rifle. On the basis that the speed of sound is somewhere in the region of 1100 ft/s...

The question so far has been "what is the best length of barrel for optimum velocity?"

But the real question is

"What is the optimum velocity for accuracy"?

Speed isn't everything.

Shooting without any support will be extremely good ..... for nothing!!!!!! There is no benefit in shooting without a support, and if anything may start a habit of lifting which you may take a long time to get rid of. If you are happy with your aim and trigger release with the support in get somene ...

It wouldn't be a 1910 probably a 1410 or 1810.

Try it with some other ammunition. There is always the chance that you've hit on a batch of ammunition that works really well with the rifle, and there's no guarantee that the next batch will.

I often use spent brass if I have no snapcaps available, but be careful as it will deform the more it is hit and it may be wise to replace them every few shots. Same goes for snapcaps.

I think the notion of more weight being on the front leg is something of an optical illusion. Think about it, what is the most important thing in any form of shooting? - balance! You must be balanced to stand still, while it might look like the weight is slung forward, it is only the hip that is for...

The butt plate should really be in the pit between the shoulder muscle and the collar bone. Being placed in a particular place like this makes it really easy to repeat placement. The quality of your butt hook really helps here. I tried a couple of the Anschutz butt plates with my old 1813, and I can...

If your only reason for adjusting the stock is that your sling is fouling the trigger guard why not just replace the sling?

The new HPS sling is designed to deal with this

I recently bought a 2013 in a wooden stock, but I did a lot of "Googling" around the internet to try and get some info on it first. There is a fair amount of info on the 2013 in some of the benchrest forums, but there's not a lot of it recent. There is however a distinct trend in all these...

Unique were a french company but are I believe they are now out of business.

Very odd!

If you look at the anschutz website they still list a full selection of wood stocked rifles?
