This thread lists two.

The problem with "belt and suspenders" idea is that the trousers rule 7.5.5.1 says it is going to be "belt OR suspenders". But a good idea!

'Dude

Don't worry about the clasp, leave that unclasped. Just use a belt and tighten that to where you are comfortable.

For all our non-US friends 30 in-lbs of torque = 3.4 N-m of torque

The one jacket and one trousers rule is covered under 7.5.1.2 and if you go read it, it is quite the dissertation. There is no mention of gloves. Gloves themselves are covered under 7.5.6. All kind of discussion about how thick and how long no mention limiting the number of gloves allowed. From an a...

A few things on this: Now I am not an expert on the modern Anschutz ALU stocks, I did measure the threads for the adjusting columns for the buttplate system on my 1914 (wood stock with Precise cheekpiece). Now, for the buttplate columns, those guys are 15mm, not 12mm and the thread pitch is 1.5mm. T...

A few posts back, discussing the bedding you stated I think Anschutz should have M6 mounting screws? Mine has M8 in front and M6 in the back. Both with fine thread. You are correct, Anschutz used M6-0.75 threads on their bedding screws, front and back. Your modification, M8 in front with M6 in back ...

Fields, Tim has some very sage advise here, start with the simple stuff and then turn up the "fancy" meter as you get more comfortable. Starting with the rear sights, as mentioned if you shop around and are patient an Anschutz rear sight with a 10 click turret can be found for about $150 U...

Patriot, I am going to join Bob Smalser's camp on this. Except for rare occasions getting started with iron sights is usually for the best. Yes, you are correct, once you have a handle on things, having a scope can help you diagnose subtle issues with NPA, hold, release, consistency of follow throug...

What you describe is a common issue, especially in fitting the junior ladies. Most pattern blanks, especially the few in the US, are geared toward male measurements. Then, just as you are experiencing, in the early teens when the dimensional ratio differences between the boys and girls start to show...

Fields, Looks like Tim has you pretty well set in terms of the mechanics of the sights. Just a few things to add: If you poke about on this site, gun broker, guns america and ebay it is not uncommon to find Anschutz sights, especially rear sights for sale. Expect to pay around $150 for an older used...

Also consider, that is not an L bolt, it is the traditional R bolt with a really long curved handle. You may, in order to get your bolt in and out need to remove the action from the stock. This is a bit of a guess but because the handle slings under the action it may need to go further back than the...

Ok,

Help us out here: You "have no sights" I interpret that to mean you have a rifle with a scope but no iron sights and you are looking to purchase sights and then get used to using them?

If so, what kind of rifle do you have, one of the Germans or something else?

From the picture (seems there is only one) you cannot see the right foot. When you said a "high kneeling" sitting on the side of my foot the only thing I could surmise was that you were sitting on the side of your foot on a roll. In general, foot sitting was considered a "low" kn...

Not even getting to the part where to put it politely, it does not look good, from what you describe, it is not even legal. USAS Rule 7.6.1.1(i),(j) i)If the kneeling roll is placed under the right foot or ankle, the foot must not be turned at an angle of more than 45 degrees; j) If the kneeling rol...

NMC_ The 50m target is covered under General Technical Rule 6.3.4.2. The aiming black is 112.4mm in diameter. The NRA uses the same bull on their A-50 target. Assuming you have a standard length barrel a 3.2mm front aperture is a good place to start for prone. Also with the sights, no lenses or magn...

NMC, These are monthly matches held at the shooting complex at the Olympic Training Center. Sanctioned by USA Shooting. Contact Jim Shaver shajecolo@yahoo.com phone 719 597 7909. There is a Monthly PTO (Preliminary Tryout) on January 17th. Also if you want to shoot, plan on joining USAS, http://www....

NMC The rules for Rocky Mountain or more or less ISSF rules but specifically the USAS Rules. http://www.usashooting.org/7-events/usasrules From this page you are most interested in the General Technical Rules and the Rifle Rules. There are a few minor differences between USAS and ISSF rules. The NRA...

With the name Bleiker being tossed about I think it is important to keep this in context with the OPs needs, a relatively new junior moving from air rifle and trying smallbore. Is Bleiker a fine rifle?, absolutely!!! Do you see more and more of them in the finals at World Cup events?, yes. Is it rea...

Not sure as I have lots more to add to the conversation but will reiterate a few points. I too think the idea of brand consistency gets overplayed. It sounds good on paper but I have yet to see much of a correlation with top level shooters trying to stay in a specific brand for both air and smallbor...
