Ok. Thanks for the info.

I just bought an Anschutz 8002 s2. :-)
Manual says not to use felt pellets for cleaning. Could someone please explain me why not?

Keyrigger,
no I haven't done that, but it's worth a try. I kind of felt I did not need any extra weight. Thanks for the tip.

Well now, I've got my rifle back from Austria (+ a coupla extra dings in the wood). Reportedly the people at the factory have cleaned the barrel (dirty barrel was NOT the reason for bad grouping, let me assure you), replaced some O-rings and adjusted muzzle velocity. They put 16 ten-round test targe...

Copy. Thanks for answers. The reason I was asking, is I have a bit mixed experience w/Steyrs myself. I had a Steyr LP5 until recently, which was totally satisfactory. Then I also had a Steyr M9, which was not so good -reliability problems even with factory ball ammo. My LG100 seems great, but initia...

No comments on Steyr quality/performance? Well, I hope no news is good news..

Hi all. Just found this forum so this is my first post here. I've shot mainly pistols for the last 20 years, ISU/UIT disciplines and IPSC at the regional/national level, with moderate succees only on an exceptionally bright day... Recently I have been drawn more and more back into this formal rifle ...
