Re: WTS: Anschutz 8002 Air Rifle with Sights for $1,750

If they want Zelle, cashiers check or a postal money order I wouldn’t buy from them. If they don’t take PayPal it means they don’t want any possible way of you getting your money back. I’ve been scammed twice, one was Zelle and the other a postal money order. If it’s a scam you will never get your ...

Re: walther blieker grunig anschutz barrel Performance

I'm betting that the different manufacturers give their guns, ammo, sights, etc., to some of the best shooters with the understanding that their product will be used in the competitions and will win. The result is great advertising. Let's remember the old saying: "It's not the arrow, it's the i...

Re: Buying a rifle as a beginner

The Anschutz "APPEARS" to be a better rifle and I agree with Tim S above. However, note that they are both "pistol grips" and know that some people like this and some do not. If I'm reading the symbols correctly, 700 euros is the price for the Anschutz. You'll have to add in ship...

advice please...

Looking for a good bipod for smallbore shooting. Don't have $400 for one of the best,
but there must be some good ones available for a lower price. Have an "Anschutz rail" on the bottom
to mount the bipod on. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: How far back should the trigger be

you didn't specify rifle or pistol... I don't know beans about pistols but I can definitely tell you that with many rifles, you can move the trigger back and forth. So with rifles: you need to find whatever works for you so the barrel (sights) doesn't move when you pull the trigger. There is a relat...

"Food for thought:" a number of years ago in Louisville, KY, a young girl was shooting the smallbore tournament. She wore an eye protector metal patch over one eye. She came in second as I recall. Makes one wonder if "one eye" is the answer... you wouldn't be concerned about the ...

Re: Cateracts and seeing the target

When you have cataract surgery, be sure to get a good lens and the proper lens. I'd recommend the "distance" lens. I have a friend who had some kind of "new type lens" put in and he now greatly regrets his decision. Hopefully he'll read this thread and comment.!! Additionally, FY...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

hope you write a "follow up" review of your surgery. many of us are going thru "eye surgery" situations today and the more we can learn from others, helps us to be more knowledgeable and make better decisions.

Have a few questions for all you smallbore shooters out there.... (1) why do I see (sometimes) where the buttplate is slanted either forward or backward? What's going on here? (2) I've read about a balance point of the rifle being just in front of the trigger... what does this have to do with anythi...
