Just a pair of cool rifles I thought the membership here would appreciate. I first got into precision shooting in College as part of our collegiate rifle team where I competed in 3 Position small bore and 10m air gun quite successfully. After graduation, my interest and free time for the sport waned a bit as I was moving frequently. I've returned to target rifles with a vengeance lately and now have what I consider to be a perfect pairing for my interest.
Foreground rifle is an Anschutz 1613 action sitting in the 1813 stock, originally made for the US Olympic team for the 1980 Olympics and then sold after the boycott (per the previous owner's story who certainly had to shooting cred to be believed). Background is a Remington 700 in .243 set in an 1813 stock. Originally a Swiss ISS 300m free rifle, I now use it as a mid-range prone rifle. Purchased off a former US Forces shooting team member.
The adjustments between the two are pretty much exactly the same. Both are excellent shooters and give me the ability to punch ten rings from 25m - 600m. I couldn't have been happier to pair these two rifles together, the only downside is its hard to justify taking anything else out of the safe anymore!
