What Rifle?
Was watching ISSF European Championships going on today in Croatia on YouTube, Junior Women's 3P SB. If anyone else has watched the video can you opine as to what rifle Jennifer Kocher in lane D of Switzerland is shooting? I saw the wood stock and, as she is Swiss, I initially thought it was a Tanner. Watched her shoot the entire match and could see the rifle numerous times and now I don't think it is a Tanner. Any ideas?

It's a Rieder & Lenz https://www.rieder-lenz.ch/
I had the opportunity to look one over at Bisley two or three years ago, and it looks very nice. Think Bleiker meets KK500; the receiver is made of several parts like the Bleiker, but the bolt is rear locking with three symmetrical lugs. The trigger was an Anschutz 5018. Barrel is Swiss made, and seem to remember cut-rifled.

Good call, thanks. Have to admit that is a rifle I am unfamiliar with. The Swiss certainly are adept at making the highest quality target rifles.
