I can understand and sympathize with the ISSF position. At the very least, ISSF sees itself in a struggle for relevance and a fight for its very survival. Don't believe me-take a look at the situation for yourself. I just rejoined USAS after years of lapse and was issued a new number just above 1000...

Have you considered using a rear aperture-equipped iris? While I'm no opthomologist, you may be able to get some benefit by moving the aperture location much closer to your eye. What I am about to say I say with only the utmost respect for all involved: While it is true that Rajmond Debevec does use...

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm a dedicated Smallbore competitive shooter. I shoot NRA/USAS rifle as well as Summer Biathlon. On the surface, I've seen that, over the years, that a general path exists when someone becomes interested in shooting: a newcomer generally comes to a fork in t...

Try a Pelican 1700 series case. The foam is solid and can be cut to size. Also, definately find out about shipping the tanks. Ask the Airline AND the TSA about shipping requirements regarding the tanks.

Boyd's typically unloads its stock 'seconds' for ridiculously low prices. I bought an FVT for summer biathlon about five months ago and picked up a thumbhole sporter stock for less than $50. Because of the way the Williams rear sight is mounted on the left side of the receiver, you should look for s...

Customer Service in the Shooting Sports Industry...

Hello all, After responding to an earlier post, I was once again reminded of something that's been plaguing my mind for a long time now. I'm in my mid to late-20s now and I'm coming back to cometitive Smallbore rifle shooting after devoting some time to work and family life. I have noticed that, in ...

It seems like I've purchased products from just about everybody at one time or another and I keep coming back to Champion's Choice for about 80% to 85% of the Smallbore products I buy, particularly ammunition. As for things like a 3P stand, I built my own from a microphone stand I purchased off of E...

Personally, I try to clean my barrel as much as I can. I keep a Hoppe's Bore Snake and a small (2 oz) spray bottle with some solvent I take with me anytime I shoot. I have spoken with both Anschutz as well as the distributor I purchased the gun from and both said the use of the Bore Snake was perfec...

I have a MEC buttplate on my 1907. I've been using it for a month or two and am very, very happy with it. Because it's so adjustable, it will take a while to get it where you want it. When it is in position, you'll wonder how you ever shot without it.
