Recommended Rifles for Adult 3PAR

Post by adv_rider »

Hello All,

I currently practice precision 10m 3 position air rifle using an Anschutz 2002ca. I love the rifle, but find the stock rather limiting as I describe here:
viewtopic.php?p=336367#p336367

With no good upgrade path for the 2002, I'm thinking about a new(er) precision PCP specifically designed for 3PAR.

Some info and criteria:
-I'm 6'2" 150 lbs, so tall and a bit skinny. I wear a size 38 shooting jacket.
-I practice prone, standing, kneeling and sitting (sitting is practice for XTC)
-I wear heavy correction glasses so repeatable cheek piece placement/adjustability for proper head alignment is especially important for me
-I would like stock adjustments to be tool less and not use shims
-I am more than happy with (and actually prefer due to $$) a used rifle
-config must be issf 10m 3par legal
-Currently with the 2002ca I am in the low to mid 280s for 10 shots prone/offhand/kneeling on an AR-5/10 target

With that in mind, what models/stock options should I consider or avoid? Since I'd prefer to get a used rifle, it is especially unclear to me which older models to keep an eye out for.

At age 43 I'm not going to the Olympics, but I enjoy 3PAR and take it rather seriously. Not looking to upgrade "because it's shiny and new", but because it provides a real benefit for 3 position.

Thank you!
Joe

Didn't Anschutz make a 2002 alu?

I would be amenable to modification of my laminate stock for better adjustability as i ask about here as option #1:

...however I'd like input from someone who went down this path so I can confirm parts and pros/cons
