6.5x55 and cheap Lapua brass? Don't try to teach your father how to f**c.. :cool:

Hi, What we did was design our own one off custom reticles and then we sendt the drawing on paper to Pecar in Berlin. Pecar then made the reticle as a one off and returned a custom reticle that we could install ourself. I now made a priciple sketch showing the reticle I used. The sketch is NOT...

It's made in the UK. Of course it will rust. My first car was a well used Ford Cortina Mk2. You could actually hear it rust when parked :-)

The V-reticle was "prototyped" in the cheap German ZF4 scope in ww2. There is a pic of the reticle in Peter Senich's book "The German Sniper 1914 -1945". I ordered spare Pecar reticles i the 80'ies that had ballistic dots like the old silhouette reticles. The bdc dots started with the centre...

In the beginning of the 80'ies I was sponsored by Winchester Europe with a Win M70 Varmint in 222rem and a Weaver T16 for international moving target shooting in the old Olympic event "Running Deer 100m". I still have the T16 scope: I have an old insurance photo from app 1985 of the rifle...

That's not correct. Anschutz 20oz triggers on biathlon rifles are 100% relieable and they are used and abused in comps at temperatures down to -20C. Even adjusted down to 150g/5oz the Annie twostage is mechanically much safer than any single stage trigger or fake twostage that has...

No, been there, done that. I shoot better with a chassis rifle like the Walther LG400. Moving targets off hand is also in the equation. That's why the new AI looks interesting. However, the weight in stock config is way too high. Slimming down the new Anschutz is also an option. The Annie is...

I shoot field target comps in Europe and all shots are taken off hand unsupported. Anybody know the app weight of an AX-XC without all the bells and whistels with a 24" rem varmint barrel? Configured just like this LG400:

Would it be possible to get a smoothbore barrel, make some custom DSFS ammo and get it listed as a shotgun?

I do not doubt this shot. In Sweden, some 30 years ago, a man was killed while driving his car at app 45mph with an open side window. He was hit in the head. The 7.62NATO bullet was fired 4000m away from a M240 MG on a military range. My best shot was taken about 50 years ago. I shot a swallow...

Yes, this is a Husqvarna 1900. Antonio Zoli of Italy makes a carbon copy today and most parts are interchangeable. In 243 the bolt throw is reduced to fit the short 243 so now you have one of the slickest actions ever made. It can be polished and tuned to make a Krag seem rough. The small screw...

Nahh.. This is going to replace all sidearms like Sigs and Glocks in the armed forces :cool:

As "Masters Of The Air" has been released I think there is a related, unknown, story to be told of one of the unsung heroes of WW2. During WW2 he was a Norwegian citizen. After WW2 he became an US businessman and citizen. His story is incredible: Sverre Bergh, a 20 year old Norwegian student...

Note 5mm scale on the monitor.

Wonder why the Steyr SSG69 is not listed in the 54 - 76 class.
