Redfeather, Tim has pretty well covered the possible options with the front sight inserts (apertures). I suppose a 'next question' would hinge on whether you want to replace elements or the whole sight(s). These days, Anschutz, Walther and Feinwerkbau all have different front sight mounting dovetail...

I agree, no trigger on the Anschutz.

I am sort of assuming this is standing with air rifle.

If this is in the last tenth of a second before you release the shot, I would suspect you are pushing your right shoulder into the rifle.

Also, are you checking your natural point of aim as you settle into each shot?

If your left hand hurts there may be something wrong with your setup. It should be acting just as a platform.

For a total of 1.5 kg suggest A and D first. Many recommend center of balance 1-2 cm in front of support hand.

If I am reading this correctly, you installed the SCATT (both hardware and software), the software is working but when you 'fire' a shot the shot registers but it is well away from the center of the target. The next step is to grab the most recent shot (the pink one) with mouse pointer and drag it t...

Interesting discussion: To recap a few things here, Capapie is stiff and compared to European offerings somewhat cheaper. The Capitex material is somehow magical in that it seems to be just barely able to pass EC but always seems to squeak by. Yes, Ginny Thrasher sustained a back injury that was att...

I agree, the plastic cover is not great, the word flimsy comes to mind. I have two of these sights, one that came with a 700 and the other an 800. They appear identical. The question I have: Both of mine have a single philip's head screw on the right side, just in front of the windage knob. The tabs...

Somewhat similar to the response by gn303, look into 'counter conditioning'. Part of this depends on the dog being food motivated or there at least being some very high value treat that the dog just loves. This also requires two people. Have the dog somewhere where it can hear the report of the air ...

Looks like a MEC 'Crystal' on a FWB dovetail. Regardless of the exact brand, it looks proper and secure. The wires do help with getting a consistent cant from shot to shot. While I cannot say you absolutely MUST leave them, I would highly encourage leaving them and getting the globe rotated so the w...

Good Morning Vibin, So you are ready to transition to precision air rifle? Cool! You ask a number of questions about equipment so I will start with the rifle first. While you may find some older 'single stroke pneumatic' rifles out there for under $1000 you really want to focus on the more modern 'p...

Is there someone in your area with gunsmith skills that might have some head space gauges? Sounds like the head space might be on the tight side.

Being a southpaw does present its challenges in this sport. I will try to touch on a few of the points you are facing here: bdutton is correct, it is possible to purchase 'off the rack' shooting clothing for about 25% of the cost of a custom suit. There has gotten to be this belief that somehow a cu...

If this is a FWB 800 then yes, something labeled for FWB should work. I suppose that someone could put a different rail on the FWB but I have never heard of anyone doing that. The wide part of the dovetail for your first globe at 10mm sounds like it was intended for a Walther but in the wrong box. G...

Way back 'in da day' when light international jackets were first mandated, you could ball one up and stuff it in the corner of your kit bag. I have one of the current and very popular Capapie suits. There is no balling it up and stuffing it anywhere. 2 years on of being used at least once a week and...

I am going to go with Tim S here: What kind of gun do you have? For the rear sight, they all reference an 11mm dovetail when say for Anschutz the wide part tends around .470 or as you note, 11.9mm (Closer to 12mm) Now, for front sights, Walther is closer to 9mm so that absolutely won't work. Anschut...

An additional thought on all of this, if you have a developing shooter and there is a debate about getting new equipment as opposed to club or borrowed equipment, simply research, select and purchase but don't make the purchase conditional on a specific feature of the new gun. It is easy to say 'Oh,...

I am not so concerned with the adjustability of the stock as I am the age of the rifle.... R10 should be fine pellets. Yes, you can get more performance if you do lot selecting but for the most part any tin of R10 will perform acceptably well for most shooters in most guns. A P70... I would be very ...

A few random questions: Is this an air rifle or a smallbore? The text seems to imply air rifle but want to check. What kind of pellets or ammo is she using. (You can have a great rifle but if you are putting crappy pellets/ammo through it you will not get results) To that end: what make and model of...
