    Anschutz 64 MPR ejection issue

    Maybe the modification was done at the factory, but strange it is done in such a rough way. Anschutz is still one of the few manufacturers that manually matches the bolt to the action. Look at the bolt face there should be a 3 figure number matching the last 3 numbers of the serial number of the...

    Any experience with Keppeler rifles?

    Re: Any experience with Keppeler rifles? I just received my keppeler free rifle in 6.5x47 lapua with the k09 stock, had to wait for 6 months but its worth the waiting. They are hand made and better than 0.25 moa. I have no experience with the tactical ones but I expect the same quality. They...

    Effects of ammo temperature itself - not air temp

    Re: Effects of ammo temperature itself - not air temp Absolutely makes sense. One more thing is the round itself. lapua (sk,wolf are all the same) has a graphite coating with a little oil, most other brands have a wax coating sensitive to temperature. The lapua polar biathlon is the most...

    What gun is "Priceless" to you?

    Re: What gun is "Priceless" to you? My fathers 1932 Haenel Mod I DRP airgun. He learnd me how to shoot with it before he died when I was 10 years old. I wouldn´t trade anything for this simple airgun.

    6.5 x 47 barrel length?

    Re: 6.5 x 47 barrel length? The optimum for 300m competition shooting seems to be 23". For long range competition keppeler for example offers a 30" barrel but I don´t think this makes sense for hunting. I have a competition rifle on order at the moment but would like to explore the...

    22 LR Ammo

    Re: 22 LR Ammo RWS-Z is a very quiet round, also accurate. http://www.rws-munition.de/en/sports_rimfire/rimfire_field_line.htm?navid=33 The bad part is that it costs about 6,5 euro a box here.

    Savage-Anschutz mark 10

    Re: Savage-Anschutz mark 10 Anschutz triggers are always fun when you want to determine the model, they just have/had so many different ones. But Anschutz renewed their site and there is a lot of info on old rifles and triggers available now...

    Barrel Break-in for MK II TR

    Re: Barrel Break-in for MK II TR New barrels can be seriously dirty and really need to be cleaned with a brush before the first shot. For match rifles breaking in is necessary to fill all pores in the barrel with a uniform lead layer, it doesn´t harm to treat a non match rifle the same way...

    Anschutz 22lr mag tuning

    Re: Anschutz 22lr mag tuning Have a look at the two lips at the top of the mag at the position of the rim of the cartridge. The space between them should be exactly 5 mm (0.197"). If the mag is dropped or bumped and one of the lips bends down it can cause this problem, its easy to bend them back.

    Air rifle offhand to practice for NRA Highpower

    Re: Air rifle offhand to practice for NRA Highpowe In The Netherlands we shoot unofficially at 100m and 50m .22 targets. For 100m air rifle we also developed a target that you can find here http://www.100mairgun.nl/category/De-ideale-100m-kaart.aspx (My 10m rifle is a walther LG300, for...

    Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 for a dedicated Rimfire?

    Re: Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 for a dedicated Rimfire? I am using the same scope on my 1913 for competition shooting at 50m and 100m. At 50m there is some parallax error but if you are laying stable behind the scope this is no problem. Should work fine at 50 yard. Mine is the one with target...

    Dirtiest 22LR ammo ever

    Re: Dirtiest 22LR ammo ever Pull the head of some rounds, empty the cartridge and fire the primer only. I did it with SK´s in a clean barrel, you can´t believe what kind of green dirt comes of the primer. It doesn´t say anything about the quality of the ammo, SK´s are excellent, we use...

    To the guys who are weighng their ammo???

    Re: To the guys who are weighng their ammo??? I use a mettler lab balance with 0.0001 gram (0.0015 grain) absolute resolution but a good powder balance can do as well. The SK standard plus rounds I use now are in the weight range between 3.305-3.375 gram = 51-52,2 grain The rounds I select...
