Re: walther kk500 scope rail? bridge...

Yes, pushing the lever down is required to both remove and reinstall the bolt.

@hyeyong76 - the rail is part of the receiver and made of steel. The silver add-on rail is aluminum.

Re: walther blieker grunig anschutz barrel Performance

Anecdotally, Walthers shoot very well from the factory and current Anschutz rifles are hit and miss (with Anschutz barrels).

Re: 3-d printed scoring plugs?

In my experience, FDM 3d printing alone is not accurate enough to make score plugs. I only have experience with FDM printing, but RESIN 3d printing MIGHT be accurate enough... The USA50 score plugs I made and sold were FDM 3d printed a few thousands oversize and then formed/cut down to size using th...

Re: Tec-HRO Fanatic Forearm Width

Another option to increase the forearm width or change the corner radius is a bolt-on forearm section. I've made a few for guys that preferred the height and corner radius feel of an 1813-style forearm over their Precise stocks. The last one I made was for a Fanatic stock. Depending how you orient y...

Re: Reasonable expectations air rifle

If I did the math correctly, then the bottom table shows the aiming deviation angle from center to achieve each score with a bullet that just contacts the ring. Assumed 0.224" HP bullet and 0.177" pellet... Roughly, - a HP 200yd standing 10 is an air rifle 9 - a HP 200yd standing 9 is an a...

Re: Where to find outdoor smallbore upcoming events???

Many local clubs run unaffiliated matches, so it's always worth looking at their websites. Otherwise... ASSA - lists all known matches regardless of affiliate, but it's incomplete... Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see a calendar. That's it. https://www.americansmallbore.com/championship-...

Re: Air Rifle Tuner

Moonlight - the Tec Hro unit IS an air rifle tuner (not rimfire)

Tuners adjust the barrel harmonics. So while an air rifle has much less/lower excitation force(s) than a 22 rimfire, there are some. Is an air rifle tuner worth it? Maybe, maybe not.

Re: SCATT for a Mac person

@porkchop, I'm no IT expert, but I do know that an obsolete operating system (i.e. Windows XP, or 7) alone isn't a reason for a computer not to work. That said, obsolete operating systems are no longer supported with security updates/patches. That means they are (extra) susceptible to viruses and ma...

Soft rifle case recommendations?

I'm looking for recommendations for a soft rifle case that would close with an assembled free rifle inside (60-65" long). I'm fortunate to have very close access to an indoor range, so I'm shooting at least once a week. I'd like to leave the rifle assembled to avoid the wear and tear of repeate...
