sling stop

My sling stop broke today during practice and i was wondering your opinions on them. I am shooting Collegiate smallbore and my coach says he might have one i can borrow, but i need to get my own. I was thinking i might like to get a sling stop like the MEC one because a couple of my fellow shooters ...

Kneeling Roll Filler

What would you guys recommend as a good kneeling roll filler. I started with the stock stuff from Champions Choice (shredded rubber), but was then told that plastic "pellets" are better by the CMP. Now, at the Olympic Trials, I heard that something like sawdust is the best. Just curious.

Lapua X-Act

Hello all,
I know the rifle determines the ammo, but what is the X-Act all about? Is it really as good as they say? Why is it so expensive? Does anyone here use it(or tried it)?

When I shot sporter, I used the 887 (current version of this rifle stock) and found that the biggest problem was that the fore end was way too short. It works really well for sling positions, but it sucks in standing if you have relatively short arms. Just my 2 cents

The rear riser block will fit, but the front one won't as Walther cuts the dovetail smaller than all the other manufacturers. You shouldn't have a problem finding them, just make sure to ask if they are made for Walther rifles.

Bloop Tubes

Hello all,
I have been looking at bloop tubes for some time now and am thinking about getting a CC one (for cost reasons) and wanted to know what you thought about them. Also, does the length effect the accuracy at all, or do they effect it no matter the length? Thank you so much!

RIser Block

I have an Anschutz 1907 in an 1918 stock with the standard black riser block (for your hand) and wondered if I could attach blocks to it to raise the height. I would just screw them in, but is this legal for 3-P?

Is there a difference for rifle shooting (like the equations for distance to the rear sight because it is so much smaller)?

I have never been prescribed glasses, but I haven't been to the optometrist for a few years. Last time I checked, I had 20/15 vision. He said I could wear glasses, but it wasn't necessary. At the last competition I shot at, I noticed that I had to really strain myself to focus while in prone, and I ...

I know it varies from place to place, but do you know roughly how much it will cost to have a lens made?

I have the centering device, but am kind of confused on how exactly it works. also, what is the best way to set up a pair of glasses? 2. The people at CC told me to buy three lenses and tes...

A couple of rearsight questions

Hello all, I have a couple of rearsight questions. 1. In a rearsight iris, is it worth is to get polarization or colors (or both) for outdoor smallbore? 2. Has anyone used the Gehmann Compact rear sight (Champions Choice product #590L)? I need a rearsight for my smallbore rifle and i don't have a to...

I just "signed" with the Murray State Rifle team a few weeks ago. When we were still talking, he said he was looking for scores in 60 shot air to be around 585 and scores in 3P smallbore to be around 575. Keep in mind, though, Murray State is a top 10 team. I also heavily looked into UT Ma...
