    Anschutz 1727 APR

    I have had a few people ask me if I was shooting a 10-22 at a match because the action is so smooth and runs so fast. With it being 22LR there is very little movement back and forth making it seem even faster. It will stay open but the operation of it is so quick it may seem like it closes on...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    At today's exchange rate €6000 is right at $7,000 and that's $1,000+ more than I just paid for the 1727F/ATX. Not knowing how the tariffs stack up right now I would guess that would be additional as well.

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    Yes, the rifle has been built for some time now, or at least offered to ANA. IIRC, I was told they ordered them 2 years ago and magazines were the holdup. I would expect them to show up here in time for SHOT but the down side was (tariffs) these were going to be "rather expensive". After what I...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    It's not necessarily a struggle with the larger mags. They are easier to load than my new Anschutz mags and easier to get them instead in the magazine well. The latter important when mag changes on the clock are needed. Now, as far as what I was told on why the mag may be a sticking point for...

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    I spoke to a good friend at Anschutz NA about this a couple months ago. The new mag design was for the NRL/PRS crowd. They should be easier to load and that would be a plus to me. Down side is this version has been on order for quite some time but has yet to show up at ANA. They had no ETA and...

    Advice about Atlas BT72

    That does seem to be on the small side. The FC series has a pretty wide stance. I tried the Rempel (meant for F-Class) on one of the larger benches I shoot on and once adjusted to correct height the legs were almost as wide as the bench.

    Advice about Atlas BT72

    I don't use the pan but cant is, as you know, most important. Some benches I shoot matches from are on the small side and the pan feature can make a difference in being comfortable behind the rifle or not. Both of mine are FC4, as that is what I was able to buy at a considerable discount...

    Advice about Atlas BT72

    I have Atlas CAL and three Ascu-Tac bipods, two of which are FC4-G@ models. The 6 Harris bipods and the CAL gather dust while the Accuracy-Tacs are my go-to bipods. Like you I shoot off benches most of the time (99%) and I find the Accutac to have plenty of adjustment.

    Vudoo closed the doors…

    UPDATE: I won't begin to speculate on what it really means but I saw an "official" announcement on The Shooting Wire this morning that Vudoo is again alive (well?) https://www.shootingwire.com/releases/8285ee8a-8e68-41a8-9e7e-cad4f3d09ff0 I may be wrong but I do believe this is the former home...

    B14r hard closing ? Cock on close?

    We are not discussing "perfect timing". It's not off by a little but a lot to COC and that is 100% incorrect! I would EXPECT Bergara to repair it or at least provide answers to the OP to make it work as intended.

    I have long had automatic updates set to on.

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    My app shows version 1.1 so how do I go about updating? Don't see any thing. Is it something that will update when I fire up the chronograph?

    B14r hard closing ? Cock on close?

    First and foremost, this guy's rifle is not working properly. He is experiencing a issue that will only worsen with time and advising him to buy a big bolt know from AO is not good advice IMO. If COC "doesn't bother him" he never should have posted this thread. The Bergara is noted for having a...

    B14r hard closing ? Cock on close?

    COC is not ideal and not the way the B14R was intended to operate. You have an issue with the B&A sear positioned incorrectly. That is why many actions these days have trigger hangers. I used a Trigger Tech Special in mine and had no issues but the B&A is most definitely a different beast. Try a...
