Re: Can anyone tell me how to socially distant
80 4H kids, and parents, in NRA BB Gun this fall? I am the youngster in the coaches group at 64. My 40 lane range is now a 16 lane range. Have you confirmed with the 4H youth educator that this event can take place? What are the current 4H guidelines? We had so many restrictions here that I gave up...

Re: Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon Sporting?
I shoot a 686 Sporting, and enjoy it. With shotguns however, stock fit is very important. I had the stock custom fit for my height and being left handed. If you get a chance shoot one and see how the stock fits for you.

Re: Daisy 599 reviews?
I understand manufacturers are trying to stay under the magic retail cost limit, but the challenger really missed it not being able to shoot a 3 X 20 without a refill. Even changing tanks at the line would be better than leaving the line.

Re: Right handed shooter, left eye dominant
I was at my club this morning and they had the junior smallbore program going on. There was a young lady who was trying it out for the first time, and was very upset because she's right handed but left eye dominant, and just couldn't see well with her right eye. I was at a loss as to what sort of a...

Re: Daisy 499b Program Startup - ideas needed
I am with a County 4-H shooting sports program that was chartered in 1972. We have 40 499's of various ages. They all still work well, although we did replace many barrels due to wear. They used to pick BB's off the floor and reuse them. The dirt and grit is tough on barrels. The most necessary guns...

Re: how to sell a rifle ...
Basic rules. You cannot export a firearm without a horrendous amount of paperwork. Not even to Canada. Probably no chance at all to some countries. In the United States- Depending on the State you live in, a face to face sale could be possible with no paperwork. Some States require evan private sale...

Re: Anschutz 1903 action screws
My experience is limited to maybe 6 older 54' s, but I believe these would be aftermarket screws. They are rather hard to fit for length, so might be too long.

Re: How soon is too soon with 5m BB?
I've got a young shooter (just turned 6) and an Avanti 499 with his name on it (and a Remington 514T and a Savage 24C and...and...) I'd really like to indoctrinate him early in competitive shooting (he's got 2 brothers too); are there good programs developed for young shooters to start from? A matu...

The 717 is lighter, maybe better for younger shooters- but the 747 shoots better than I ever will. (maybe not saying much, but they do shoot!!)

Re: Daisy 499B
Does anyone have any issues with the rear of the plunger assembly rubbing the top of the receiver? I don't think that it hurts anything but it does cause the plunger to drag when cocking the gun. yes, this happens quite often. sometimes enough to cause very inconsistent velocities. I have had to cle...

Re: Challenger string
I guess I don't understand your question. Are you asking if your pressure limits versus your muzzle velocity is acceptable?
Are you asking if your accuracy is ok FOR A CHALLENGER?

Thanks for all the replies!
I asked because they are a left bolt, left eject configuration, and true left handed actions are rather hard to find.
