Re: Giraud Scope Stand?

There is a little play in the knob before it catches and moves the scope up and down. However, I never really thought anything of it.

Re: Trigger travel past break point?

If you have a trigger stop and you continue to pull on your trigger past the shot, you are introducing a moment about the gun. This moment has the potential to affect the gun before the bullet has exited the barrel. On the flip side, if you have a free floating trigger, you won't be creating a momen...

Re: Air Tank Safety

I've been to very few ranges that don't use SCUBA tanks to fill air cylinders. A lot of the time, those SCUBA tanks are just sitting on the ground, not secured by anything...look at most of the NCAA ranges.

Re: New Rifle Buying Tips

I shoot a FWB 700 for airgun and an Anscutz 2013 in the precise stock and the short barrel and both guns fit me well.

Consider... In the standing position, the lower back is bent, (some shooters more than others) in usually two major directions, and the hip is thrust upward. THEN the shooter RELAXES and allows their weight to settle on the bone structure built by getting this position. I agree with Mr. Marsh on th...

Re: Now we don't want to hurt feelings?

Olympic Quota places are up for grabs and 2016 would be boring if it was populated entirely by Americans, so you need a control mechanism, but quota places != medals and even if you want to spread the medals about, why not simply only allow two entries per country - with an option for additional sh...
