Re: Cheating at ISSF Olympic Qualification Championship 2024
Defamation is laughable. The rules clearly state you cannot wear an electronic device. She is wearing an Whoop which is an electronic device that communicates via blutooth. You've proven Leone broke a rule, but can you prove she cheated? Without proof she gained an advantage, or intended to, your r...

Re: Cheating at ISSF Olympic Qualification Championship 2024
Cheating, to me at least,is a very loaded word, and implies intent. Do you have any proof that Chiara Leone actually communicated with her coach, or even intended to do so, rather than just not removing her her watch? Practically would she be able to communicate with it while shooting? If you can't ...

Re: Anschutz A22 Max is farther along
Yes, I seem to remember an Austrian shooter (Pickl?) winning a medal the the 22Max last year.

Re: Diana 65
Redfeather, If the foresight tunnel is a standard size you could order a selection of new aperture inserts. I believe Diana used the common 18mm/Anschutz size in the late '80s, but don't know if that's what your 65 has. If it has the 16mm tunnel that Walther and FWB used for many years, inserts will...

I can't see one either. Rifle no 3 on the other thread also seems to lack a trigger.PNW Skipper wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:13 pm Is the Anschutz trigger separated from the action? It is not visible in the photos.

Re: Trigger weight
Tom, The trigger weight limit is only for 300m Standard Rifle. 300m Free Rifle and 50m Rifle (men's and women's) have no trigger weight limit. The other limitations applied to 300m Standard Rifle, do not apply to 300m Free Rifle or 50m Rifle either: no thumbhole grip, no palm rest, no palm shelf for...

Re: Trigger weight
Tom, 1500g is pretty heavy for a Match trigger today, that's just over 3lb in old money. It's likely lighter than most sporting/military rifles, but requires a stronger grip and more concentration than a "normal" weight match trigger. In fact, I doubt many match triggers made in the last 4...

Re: old vs new
Tony, First the factory test target really isn't relevant after 25 years: it was shot with the barrel clamped in a vice, and is really a function test/proof the rifle meets the factory minimum standard, than a pure best accuracy test. The group you get is also cherry picked, FWB will likely have sho...

Re: offhand advise needed
Anschutz made the sights adjustable for a reason. If your group isn't centred, click the sights*. Changing how the rifle fits will very often require sight adjustment. This isn't something to be fearful of though, as the sights are intended to be uset adjustable, and there are dedicated sighting tar...

Re: KK500 Maintenance
I was asking because I use an old Walther with a really good barrel. For me the trigger works fine but I can't get the trigger weight down as I'd like and I wonder if a bath in a cleaning product might improve its operation. In my experience, dirt tents to make a trigger feel scratchy, slow, or inc...

Hawkyork,
You do realise this thread is 16 years old. I don't think any of the original responders still post here.

Re: Budget precision rifles
In terms of the sling and glove: Any European branded sling will be ISSF compliant. Really the only rule is a maximum width of 40mm. Some US slings are wider, either everywhere or at the arm cuff so check it's ISSF width. Other than that until you get to expensive micro-adjustable slings (MEC-Centra...

Re: Butt hook
There was a WTB add in the sales forum looking for the metal bracket from a cheekpiece. You could negotiate with the would-be buyer.
BtW it's not the best etiquette to resurrect a 10yo thread with an largely unrelated query about pricing.

Re: Anschutz 1761 Bolt
Pthatcher, It may be the ammunition. There are several threads in the pistol subforum discussing CCI ammunition, and theorising it's dimensioned more for sporting chambers than match chambers. From memory the driving bands are slightly longer to better engage (or reduce jump in) a longer sporting ch...
