Re: Recoil and butt plate height

For me the more important factor above butt plate height is the repeatability of the overall position. These so called perfect heights and lengths of where rifle parts should sit on and into our bodies are starting points only. What would be the point of having what looks to an outside observer the ...

Hi Dave IRL Have you tried loctite on the grub screw? or even super glue. Much cheaper than a new sling. I have the same sling as you and like it very much but have also lost some screws as well, but all my replacements are glued in. Both loctite and super glue can be undone as well. hope this helps...

And then next thing we know we are not using real ammo anymore. I see a slippery slope here. Having said that it would be a fantastic coaching tool to review a match afterwards and finals as well.

Just my 2 cents.

Pistol style Grips for a Rifle

Pistol style Grips for a Rifle. Hi All, Has anyone on here fitted a pistol grip from an actual pistol (see picture) to a free rifle? In my case a FWB 2700. I have noticed recently that I am moving my hand around on the grip trying to find a more repeatable and comfortable grip and trigger release. I...

Hi Nester I have the MEC/Centra Sling and love it. But the connection to the hand stop is not push button release, it fits all push button type handstops but you have to unscrew the knob a bit and then insert into the hand stop then tighten the knob up. It takes a little getting used to. In fact whe...

Maybe this is a bit silly but you could move the firing point forward 25 m insted of moving the back stop closer. I have seen it done befor but as I dont shoot pistol I am not sure what discipline they were shooting.
