Re: Upgrade anschutz 1907 walnut stock with Alu 1918 stock

Well upgrade done I went for the newer black 1918 model, just in case the shiney alu caused a problem. The butt plate and cheek rest feel really good and are easy to adjust, so I felt that it was alot easier to repeat and keep that position. The support hand position is though very different and the...

Re: Rear sight centering

I have thought of someting else at the start of the 50 m season, I read some else that the rear stock should be extended so if hold the rifle vertically supported on you over arm your trigger finger joint is aligned with the trigger.

Re: Rear sight centering

I played rugby for many years where I played lock in the scrum so I am very stiff necked, which may be some of the reason. Thanks for all your lengthy descriptions and analysis Tim.

Now I am getting addicted to both rifle and pistol shooting. I leave in Denmark, and we shoot 15m in the indoor winter season and 50m in the outdoor s...
