While dry firing last night I was setting up my right hand grip and came to wondering why I haven’t heard one of the ‘fundamentals’ that I was taught anywhere else. I'm also wondering what the expert shooters think of this gripping method? Indeed, what are the experts’ gripping methods with their ri...

I came into smallbore prone shooting a couple of years back and since then have been trying to read as much as posible on the subject in a effort to try and get ahead. I would love to find a copy of Don Brooks' book. I didn't know he wrote one, although I have been avidly following his series in Tar...

haha sorted! (feel very stupid now for not thinking of somethin as simple as that!)

Thanks!

I'm wondering if there are any accessories that can be kept on the sight mounting rail, in front of where my rear sight will sit, that will allow me to mark the EXACT position my rear sight should be in before a match? I was discussing removing and re-fitting the rear sight with a fellow club member...

Thanks guys. Ended up having a brilliant bit of luck. Called into a local tool shop and the guy was firing through brochures to order in the part for me when he remembered a friend of his that might have one. In the end his friend calibrated the wrench (with the relevant printouts that il never need...

I have just bought an Anschutz 4405 Torque Wrench but didn't realise it takes 8mm Hex bits and not the normal UK 1/4" ones. I was hoping to just slot in a standard sized, straight screw driver bit as my rifle has slotted bedding bolts. Can anyone recommend where I can buy an adapter or the corr...

Thanks again. Hopefully thats one more thing sorted now.

http://www.targetshooting.co.nz/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/2078/filename/match_54_bolt.jpg Just found this download attached to the forum thread where i seen the pictures of the damaged extractors. I think I can now see from this picture the way these work. If I use a small screw driver to ...

The plastic bag idea is a very good one. Have to admit I'd never have thought of that!

Still haven't been able to figure out how to get these flippin things out though. By plunger do you mean the small part at the base of the extractors that sit in a small recess?

I recently purchased a second hand one that could do with a thorough cleaning. What is the best way to go about cleaning these on a Match 54 bolt? Ideally i would like to revove them but cant find any instructions on how to do this (a youtube video would be ideal!). Are there any special tools requi...

Thanks for the help guys. Think il get the plastic one then from Intershoot as I have a few other things to get from them and might as well save on the postage costs.

The link to the other web site has some very interesting info re. cleaning.

Cheers guys

Does it matter how well the guide fits the rifle?

I remember reading somewhere, someone commenting on one brand being a better fit than another, and that this would stop any excess cleaning fluids runnimng down into the trigger etc.

Hi guys, Just bought an Anschutz Match 54 for my first rifle and have spent all week researching all the bits and pieces that i need to get (holy fook this could all mount up ....££££££) I havent been able to find any reliable reviews on rod guides for this rifle though. I'm hoping that yous can mak...

You gonna have to send it back again for any unexpected tailoring or is there someone local that can do it?

Nice jacket!
How much should we expect to pay for something like that? Are you able to buy it in Ireland, or are you having to order it in?

could it not be a form of dry firing, to refamiliarise themselves with trigger weight and to check that they're not anticipating the shot release?

I just go with the flow on the sling issue. They're not allowed in the matches we shoot so thats how we practice. Never had any sling spport when i was shooting armed forces combat shooting matches as our slings were only there for safety, so i don't know what i'm missing yet.

Do the ISSF not put together a list of the jackets that they have approved? I'm a newcomer in to the sport and have just got myself a cheap Buttstop on Ebay (stop laughing!!!) for club nights when i'm shooting prone without a sling. It'll do me for now to help stop my elbows slipping on the mats. I'...

Where abouts in NI are you? Irrespective of the "security situation", if you have a clean service record why would you have a problem approaching a proper NSRA-type club direct? Sandy22, I'm not too far away from Belfast. I didn't think any of the NSRA clubs would let you join unless some...
