Or you could get Hip's Ax to give you the one sitting in his boxed 16 series...


;P

Isn't there a fire that needs to be put out wise guy? LOL :)

You can't, you will have to pay a gunsmith to make one.

John Bowers is the man who blued Sam Gate's sights for a long, long time. When Sam knew he was getting on in years and figured he had better pass the sight business on to someone else Bowers was the natural choice. Sam made the sights personally up to a certain serial number, then Bowers made them u...

Not aware that he has sold any. He has priced them too high, you can find a real Sam Gates for less then HP charges. Also rumor is Bowers is feeling better and is finishing a batch of real Gates and he charges less than HP. I'm sure the HP sight works just fine, I also hope he has learned to finish ...

Just my opinion.

Get the long barrel if you are going to be shooting only prone. More lots of ammo will shoot well in the longer barrel. If you are going to be shooting position get the shorter barrel, the rifle will have a smaller wobble zone in off hand.

Just a bit of info, I was about to replace my RWS 75 hand cranker with an Anschutz in the earier 2000's when the dollar and the Euro went nuts. All of a sudden the air rifles increased in price markedly. I was complaining about this at a prone smallbore match and someone walked up to me an offered a...

I prefer 20X to 24X myself but many are using up to 40X and at the 6400 in June one shooter that did Very well was using 50X. Its just a matter of practice and realising that the "fire hosing" you are seeing is always there even if you cannot perceive it. I used fine cross hairs then a dot...

An amazing job!!! Kudos Jamie!!!!

Benny, hard to belive this is the same little girl we shot lifesavers with at North End a decade ago!

I have a 260 Remington long range prone rifle which is in a Sinclair aluminum stock. This stock was available in 2004 and was never made again. At that time my chosen gunsmith bedded the action to the stock as he was not happy with what he felt when tightening the action screws. That rifle is amazin...

I got my risers for my LG300 (its the older one with the aluminum space gun stock) from Bill Earnest. I think the back one is the same as Anschutz but the dovetail for the front is smaller.

I use a Leupold EFR on my smallbore position rifle and I use Leupold LR target scopes which are side focus for long range high power. I HATE the side focus scopes, they are not marked for distance because they are not repeatable. When setting one up you have to take your best guess and then do the &...

The problem seemed to be more about traveling by air plane and finding the stock in two pieces when you got to your desination. I know Ron Wigger went through 3 of them. I was shopping for a new 3P rifle at that time and bought a 2013 in a Grunig stock rather than deal with a stock that breaks in ha...

Master Class is good, but there is better for less. There are indeed cheaper stocks but none better or even equal. Just my opinion. Alex's stocks are flawless and his bedding is in a league of its own. DV4 butt plates are no longer available, Dave Vanderzee's Bridgeport broke down a couple or maybe...

My favorite before I got my Walther pre compressed was the good ol RWS 75. I still have it and had it rebuilt recently and it shoots just as well as my Walther. In fact I loaned it a year or two ago to a friend and he beat me with it, ^&*(&^^( LOL.

Hello lord1234. I shoot a lot of different disciplines and service rifle is one of them. Don't get wrapped around the axle about getting an air rifle with exact AR type sights. Get any competition air rifle (a good one, the used pneumatics are being sold at nice prices these days due to everyone wan...

The CSS scope looks just like the one I bought from Pilk 10 years ago. I only used it for air rifle but I was very happy with it. I kept using my old 1970's B&L for smallbore so I can't swear how the scope would be for 50 foot but I suspect it will be just fine.

Blue jeans for NRA rules and sweatpants for International rules. I use my Sauer shooting sweater up top over my usual tee shirt for both.

Rimfire is a specialty and if you needed barrels done you pretty much have to ship it. For this type of work Frank Manhart might just be your man. Frank is just over the PA boarder off of route 80. Frank is also a junior coach so you guys will have things in common.

I use Earnest 9" bloop tubes. When I got my first one 10 years ago, as a then sharpshooter my score went up 15 point right away. You'll have to call Bill first to get prices and shipping but then you must wirte him a paper letter with all the information plus the check. You'll have to mic the e...

I really like the Anschutz 4751. I've been using them for 10 years now with no plans to change.
