They try and trick you though. With the price list of all the rifles side by side and the Anschutz looks about the same price, but then that evil little bit of print is there "Does not come with sights." then you are like, "what ever I can just get some sights". Then you look at...

Yes indeed! It must be pretty difficult for a parent when a youngster would like to get involved in 10 meter rifle. Sure, there might possibly be club guns available but the time comes when he or she will want their own rifle. That is a large some of money to put out no matter how you look at it. I ...

Yes, the alutec is the best rifle and is probably worth the extra money as you will find out after using it. As Peepsight alluded to it's better to pay a few dollars now rather than having regrets later on. You'll then only end up spending more. Trust your instincts as it seems that their leaning t...

This may not tell you too much as for the picture but, I didn't feel like removing the butt plate. I simply measured what size and length of Allen head machine screws that I needed. I also have a washer underneath the heads of the two Allen head screws that you can see in the picture. Its been somet...

I have a FWB 700 alu, and would love to replace the but plate with a MEC. How do you fit the MEC but plate to the FWB's. If you can a picture would do. If I get the time I'll try to take some pictures of how I did it. Other than that its not at all really hard to do. You simply have to buy a few ma...

Phil I believe you are allowed 220mm between the bottom of the butplate and the centerline of the barrel, and then another 60mm between the centere of the barrel and the centre of the front aperature, but I do not believe there is a rule retaining to the distance allowed from the top of the cheekpi...

I have a neck like a Giraffe and never had any problems with the amount of cheek rise adjustment on a FWB 700. Of course, then again, I have a MEC butt plate on mine which has a lot of horizontal adjustment as I never really cared for the butt plate that came with the 700 but I suppose I was spoiled...

I know that I'll regret feeding a troll, but your theory that he is unable to be an Olympic champion is contradicted by the fact that won gold in the prone event in Athens. Sure as hell did! So I have no idea where the statement; " "he has proved twice that he doesn't have that extra bit ...

No, of course it wasn’t the media that caused Matt a bad shot nor was I trying to infer that it in anyway was. I’m afraid you misunderstood my post. I was simply referring to the absurd accusation(s) that perhaps Matt wanted more of the same media attention by repeating what happened in Athens which...

Yep, by all means so would I. When you try to cut corners you usually end up buying what you should have bought in the first place and end up spending even more money. Look and shop around and buy the right item from the start. I bought some nice Gehmann boots for a decent price. In the end you'll p...

I'm not making any excuses for what Matt did nor would I ever accuse him of being pompous or arrogant as I never met the guy. To sit back and make judgments on him by what the media covers is unfair to him let alone making any innuendos that he possibly did what he did on purpose given the media att...

The FWB 700 has has two parallel blade rails and that might very well be what maestro is referring to. I have the same rifle and also very long fingers. With the infinite amount of adjustments to the trigger and the grip it shouldn't be hard to find a comfortable position. Being right handed I also ...

I'm not at all sure about this but just repeating what a friend told me. I own a pair of shooting boots and showed them to a friend of mine who knows nothing about the subject. He said they looked very similar to the type of shoe his son wears for skate boarding! I never looked into it but I'm sure ...

Re: Pistol

My coach always tells us to watch the front sight, if you get your npa right you dont need to look at the target. I don’t mean to sound flippant or perhaps sarcastic here although I’m sure it will be conceived that way and it’s not my intention but, just what do you look at if not the target? The p...

Now if Matt manages to pull off a gold and I don't hear more about them in the States I'll be very disappoi...
