Re: Winter cabin fever question on Anshutz 2007/2013

Is it the heavy barreled action in the standard stock? Was it new when you bought it? Dose it shoot OK. If it were me me I would be looking to replace the stock, although I think I prefer the Kepler stock over the Anschutz. There are also similar stocks to look at from G+E and MEC which span a reaso...

Re: best quick detachable rings for anschutz receiver...

I use the BKL's on my Anschutz rifles when they need to wear scopes. I use the one piece cantilever on my early 1964 1411 as it only has the rear receiver ring grooved. On my 1813 I use the normal two piece double clamp rings. In both cases pop the Allen Key in and give it a quick twist and off they...

Re: Gehmann on a PH rear?

One of the problems that using a Gehman or other similar iris unit is size. I have a Fulton converted mauser K98 TR rifle with the AJ Parker rearsight. This is very similar in design to the PH ones. I also have thread adapter and use my Anschutz Iris/5 colour filter unit with it. I think this is act...

Re: Premium match rifles for blind shooter. Help please!

The Pardini GPR1 might also be worth a try. Although the lever looks to operate vertically it looks from the pictures that I have seen as if it is operated by pushing down on the lever with the thumb of the right hand (RH shooter).

Re: Why Santa would be put in jail under Irish Firearms Law

Mark I took the time fully to read of of your links. in several places I note that you talk about power levels for air guns before they become firearms. You state that the Republic is the only EU state in which an airgun is considered a firearm if the energy is above 1J. This is actually incorrect. ...

Re: Tuners

Mark, until now there have been a lot of prone/positional shooters that have not worried about tuners, even for those shooting on the ISSF 50m target and equivalents. For those shooters factory batch testing with quality match ammunition has been the answer, providing ammunition easily capable of ho...

Re: Anschutz 54 Front sight

Although the rear rails are supposedly all the same for the German made target rifles the foresights are not. All of the manufacturers have specific and different sized front dovetails. Anschutz have two! pre 1989 and post (19/20xx models) that date. A Walther foresight will not fit an Anschutz rifl...

As far as self compensation goes that has long be recognised in the fullbore world. The Lee Enfield .303 designs are well known for it. Well as long as you are looking at an SMLE or No 4. These rifles were well known to compensate given the rather variable nature of military specification ammunition...

Re: 10.9 Walther Risers Problem

My daughter also has the basic LG400 Alutec. She has some risers from www.shooting-equipment.de on hers. The rear block is a little wide and the toggle link on the cocking lever just rubs against the riser. Also if you have the rearsight mounted towards the front of the rail the cocking lever can ac...

Re: action confusion

Bob your response with the two examples on auction sites is very much an apples and oranges comparison. The first is a $500 Anschutz 1407 from about 1965 with a serial number of 10557. The barrel is covered in rust, single extractor non adjustable butt plate and one stage trigger. In my opinion thi...

Re: Felt recoil, light vs heavy projectile

Felt recoil is actually a very personal experience, no matter what the math might suggest. I'm mostly a rifle shooter and always have been, but I did do a fair bit of pistol shooting when it was legal over here. I never shot IPSC so did not ever worry about making Major PF. I used to shoot Service P...

Re: Target center shot count?

I seem to recall that with the introduction of decimal scoring you would not have normally been using both decimals and inner tens at the same time. My understanding of the rules then was that inner tens could be used to break ties in matches scored with integer value targets, where matches did not ...

Re: Noptel Trainer vs. New Scatt Trainer

The program begins tracking when the receiver picks up a signal, but the data is held in temporary memory until the shot is detected. Then a "window" of the memory gets saved based on settings in the program. The window will be from a short time prior to a short time after the shot is det...

Re: shooting to the right

Let me get this correct. You can shoot good small groups? Say around the size of the ten ring. When you put a shot out of this group you can call it? When you attempt to adjust the sights they do not seem to move very far, at least in windage, and this seems to have little effect on MPI? You have ha...

If she is quite peteite then I would suggest that the junior stock would be a better option fit wise. Using an ally cylinder rather than the steel will also help move the CG back.

Re: Free rifle or standard rifle for a returning youth shoot

Given the levels of adjustability that are possible with the current aluminium based stocks I really see no need for a custom stock on a match rifle. The advantage that the adjustability gives you is that it is actually more likely to fit correctly, and if you do put on a few pounds/Kgs the adjustme...
