I thought I would bring this thread to the top again. I see where Anschutz now has a laser rifle that looks very similar to the 1827 Fortner. Does anyone have one, or have experience shooting one? I'm looking for a possible alternative to dry fire for summer training. I'm in a situation where I can ...

I don't do Facebook either, but if you want to know, I'm eating chocolate and diet Pepsi as I type this. :)

Mine is in the black and gray case. :)

Bummer. Guess this means I can get my certification on Sunday and be able to carry for the first race.

Ok good, I'm a USBA member. I've never carried the rifle before, but I skied two of the intro races last season, so I'm familiar with the format and have a sense for range procedure. I've got plenty of past ski experience and have shot several other rifle matches, so I'm sure it will be fine. These ...

So how will I be able to do the race on the 13th, if the first safety instruction course isn't scheduled until the 14th?

are you having any races this year? What's the deal, I see nothing posted for a race schedule?

Considering that the post is over two years old, I'm sure it's long gone. Of course if it's not, you can probably haggle the price some more!

Anybody know what mm size the Williams globe inserts are. They are numbered #5, #6, #7 and so forth. I started with the #5 and went to the larger #6. Doesn't seem to make much difference my accuracy, or lack of accuracy. Best I can measure #5 is 3.0mm, #6 is 3.2mm and #7 is 3.4mm?

That PWS rifle is very interesting. I'm assuming the straight pull bolt, reduces the 10/22 to bolt action only? This company looks very innovative and based on the price of the complete T3 rifle, they could easily make a biathlon compatible rifle for under a grand. You would have to use the bull bar...

Nothing. The rear sight ESA uses might be a little higher quality and it has a blinder option. Not that you couldn't fit some kind of blinder to the Savage sights. I believe they are the basic Williams sights? But don't take my word on everything, I'm certainly not an expert in biathlon, but I do ha...

Those Savage sights are not snow sights, but a decent peep and globe sight you can start out with. ESA offers a snow sight kit to retrofit the rifle for about $250?

Savage target model that ESA uses as a basis for their rifles. You're going to have to figure out how to mount a harness and carry extra mags, but you're going to have to do that with any non specific biathlon rifle anyway. https://s3.amazonaws.com/savagefiles/firearms/models/610/RBNIGq6Og_I9XRoszq6...

Check all the biathlon club websites, most have a for sale column. Do a Google search, there aren't that many in the US. Also check Altius biathlon website. Unfortunately most guns get sold to another club member, before they hit the classifieds.

So I finally got my ESA rifle. Nice rig, but I have a Altius harness. Man that thing is stiff and uncomfortable. Anybody try mink oil or something on them to soften them up?

No gun yet, but I did get my Altius harness, sling, etc...today!

I see I have broken the internet. I don't know how to downsize the photo.

Rifle will look just like this, except RH action.

I did. I'll post up a picture later.

I just ordered an ESA rifle!
