Rifle ID from Fort Benning WC
Posted: Sat May 29, 2010 3:49 am
Morning all,
For those who were watching the Mens 3-P final at the Fort Benning World Cup (either in person, or via the ISSF website), can anyone identify the rifle used by the Czech shooter Vaclav Hamon?
The stock was an Anschutz 2018/1918 Precise, but I don't recognise the action. It had a fairly short bolt, and quite a long receiver. At first I thought it might be one of the Russian Ural 5s, but the receiver appeared to be split, to clamp the barrel, like the Anschutz 2013 or Walther KK200. I'm fairly sure the Russian rifle had the barrels screwed in, or pressed and pinned.
Any thoughts?
