    Restoring a Vintage Scope

    Dick Thomas, Premier Reticles, told me he was almost arrested while he was harvesting black widow silk behind a WC in a men's room at a gas station he happened to stop by :) I have an old US made Redfield 6-18x40 with a PR spider web dot reticle for moving target competition.

    Steyr SSG 69 w/scope

    In the UK there are gunsmiths who change barrels in the SSG69. They press out the old barrel and thread the receiver for a new barrel. Here's a story of a SSG69 in 6.5x47 Lapua. https://www.thamesvalleyguns.co.uk/Steyr%20SSG69.pdf I got the same job done privatly in Norway many years ago. A...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    I used to compete in Metallic silhouette with Lapua Scoremax. It had a 48gr bullet at 1050fps and it knocked over the targets like a hammer. Shot great in my Annie 1808 with 20" barrel. Never shot it past 100m though. I wish they could resume production of the Scoremax.

    Steyr SSG 69 P1 Double Set Trigger Adjustment?

    I sometimes used my private SSG69 in the Norwegian National Guard in the 80'ies, We prepared for being occupied by the Soviet union and based all weapons using Raufoss NM60 147gr NATO ball in a SHTF scenario. The SSG69 would perform exactly like the rifle in the video with the Raufoss ammo. If...

    Mack bros quick change barrel system

    This is a copy of what Schultz&Larsen and Sauer have been doing for the last 25 and 40 years respectively. If Macbros, and others that will use this system, are smart they should use the dimensions of the Sauer SSG3000/STR/202 bolt/barrel/action interface. There are boatloads of barrels and...

    Two new (to me) Wildcats - .240 & .270 Gibbs

    If the 270 Gibbs barrel is worn out I would seriously consider having the replacement barrel made of a SIG blank. That should give at least 14000 rounds barrellife in a bolt action.. :cool:

    Steyr SSG 69 P1 Double Set Trigger Adjustment?

    If I remember correctly, it has been app 40 years, you can turn the screw clockwise until the front trigger get a regular, almost direct, single stage pull. The rear set trigger will then not be operational. I shot field target comps with a Steyr SL varmint in 222rem in the 80'ies and that rifle...

    Steyr SSG 69 Optics Question

    They will hold zero as good as the originals but are a little more hazzle due to lack og qd "handles". (sorry for my bad english..) Zero the Kahles with your huntingammo first and use it as a backup. Mount the new scope "permanently". If the new scope breaks you have a bomb proof backup. You...

    Steyr SSG 69 Optics Question

    The barrels on the SSG69 is designed to shoot well with 7.62NATO ammo pulled from MG-belts in a SHTF scenario. Barrels have a slight choke and "sizes" the bullets towards the muzzle. Increases accuracy with bad ammo and reduces gas blowby and thus increases barrellife. Expect 8-10000 rounds with...

    Steyr SSG 69 Optics Question

    Just get a set of original 30mm rings and mount any quality scope depending on budget. The rings on the Kahles scope is most probably 26mm and 1" scopes will not fit these. The original QD mounts hold zero so keep the 6X as a zeroed backup scope. Do not sell it. Steyr has also made 1" QD rings...

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    I think this Anschutz barreled action, from a CISM rifle, would be a good start for a 22lr PRS rifle. Had it been made in 6mmBR, as suggested by steve123, I think it would have popped up in regular PRS as well due to less movement of body during reloading.

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    I don't think there are any posts in this thread were straight pulls are pushed for PRS. Had PRS had a class for unsupported shooting, weight limited rifles and with tight time limits I think there would have been a case for actions like steve123 decribes in his post.

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    Well, there are different kind of tools to different kind of events. And there are events where 90 degree bolt throws are a disadvantage.

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    The girl, Jenny Stene, in that video can shoot. She is the current ISSF world record holder in 50m, 3 positions full match, 120 shots, with 1185/1200 for women set in 2019. X-ring is .208mrad. 105 shots within .208mrad and 15 9's unsupported using sling and open sights. The last 40 shots in a...

    Why isn't straight pull more popular?

    Not a chance, The 10/22 locktime is way too slow when shooting a 7ibs rifle at those targets off hand with pulse at >160. In addition there is the quality of the trigger and trigger control.
