One thing that will cause erratic shooting is oil under the loading ramp.
Remove the action off the stock and remove the ramps. Clean and rebuild, test.

Being 68 I can relate to these vision problems when sighting in the prone position. My problem is a mirage or ghostly circle that sits at about 12o/clock and is most annoying. If I remove the cheek piece and use a rest I get a clear sight picture. My optometrist can only sugest that it is my old fac...

Hi
I have a problem with the front sight in that a ghost, mirage or reflection of a circle that sits on top of the sight circle (black) when I am taking aim.
I have checked for dirty sights etc. Has anybody out there had the same problem and managed to remove it.

I purchased a 1913 aluminium stock and my 1607 round bottom action fitted straight into it. However I discovered the action touching the stock in places. But an hour with a Dremel tool soon and I had enough clearance.

I also have a 1607 and I was informed that the 16 series was an intrerim model and all the serial numbers end in an X. A few of the more informed shooters that I have discussed this with all claim that the barrels were some of the best produced by Anschutz. My rifle in the test bench shoots very tig...

Can anybody on the Forum supply me with the height to set targets on a 25 yd range. This is prone shooting, indoors and as such is not covered in the ISSF regulations.

Hi Brian,
I have herad that this beding is unavailable!!!

Why does it need replacing?

Kiwi Bob

If you purchase a 2213 stock your action will fit straight into it. The bedding is in the stock and is a sort of "Neoprene" do not try and remove it.

A few of us down here have done the swap and have found the exercise well worth it.

Kiwi Bob

Ihad the same happen with my 1407 which was bedded into the wooden stock with hard resin. When I restocked it with an Anschutz aluminium with its soft bedding material the resonating had gone.

According to my info downloaded from Anschutz the "16" series was made between 1974 - 1979. Serial #143655 - 182155 and the serial number had an "X" suffix. Also the new bolt was the first to have the bent handle with a plastic ball, instead of the all in one straight handle and ...

Well sure enough Eley have launched a new web and it certainly beats it's predessesor.

Well done Eley

Here is the address http://www.eley.co.uk/

Down here we can purchase off the Anschutz agent a kit already cut out to replace the anti slip rubber.

I imported a pistol from Australia 2 years ago, via parcel post and had no problems. All I had to deal with was customs and to pay the duty.

To add another nice note to this subject, I have just received a very nice and informative letter from Mike Semens-Flanagan, Managing Director of Eley Limited. It would appear that they have addressed the problems that they have had and look forward to next January where you will find a new Web site...

Well fella's, I am pleased to report that an Eley representative has contacted me with a very apologetic email. He reports that they had a prima issue about the time of manafacture of my batch. He accepts that we are globely miles apart so as compensation he has offered me a case of "Eley Match...

Just a note to let all readers know that I am still waiting for any contact from either Eley UK or Zanders USA. I sent a second Email to the range officer, asking him to give them a nudge but I live in hope!!!

I have some Eley Club which I use in training. In a box of 50, I have shot 23 and of that 23, 4 only ignited the prima. This resulted with three shots just hitting the target, (25yd indoor range) and one two thirds of the way down the barrell. So I put an enquiry to Eley regarding batch #3105-30167 ...

I emailed the Eley range officer and got an immediate reply. He would pass on my inquiry to Sales.
It is now a week and still nothing from Eley Ammunition, UK. Perhaps I will have to go and knock on the front door and wake them up!!!
Unfortunately a bit far from NZ.

Thanks for the replys. I have tried Zanders but like Eley I have had no reply. I will try the range officer.

I have been trying to contact "Eley" in the UK via email, using the options on there Web page. The web page has not been updated since 2002!!!!

I have also asked there agent in the US but still no reply.

Please has anybody got an up todate email address for Eley UK.
