Run out of windage

I bought a new Walther LG400 about 6 months ago but have only just got Round to using it. I was zeroing the sights tonight and whilst It would hold very tight groups they were way to the left. It took winding the sights right to the end to get it to the edge of the 9 ring? I was using the Walther re...

Re: If you could read just one book on rifle shooting.

I would disagree slightly. I found the Ways of the Rifle, to be really helpful during the phase of, after being set up with a rifle and to not knowing why can't hit the bull every time despite thinking you are doing the same thing every time. I didn't have very much access to coaches, so having some...

Glueing Top Grip on Buttplate

The plastic dimples have come off my walther buttplate. I was wondering if it is against ISSF rules to replace the dimples with Top Grip material, obviously not extruding the shape of the buttplate in any way. Almost so it was the same as the Gehmann model. or is it best to just replace the dimples ...

Re: Milev Repeats as Rapid Fire Champion

I believe it is a compression sleeve, which is supposed to help with muscle warmth and circulation to prevent injury. Lots of basket ball player wear them.

Is it worth considering a light or women rifle.

I am 5'7 and i would say a reasonable build but have short arms and small wrists. Is it worth considering for example the KK500 light. is there any guidelines on size of human to rifles, most just say for women and juniors and I know plenty who are the same size as I am. or is this just another case...

Re: NEW SCATT MODEL???

Thanks very helpful to know. It is the live fire aspect that really appeals to me but don't quite want to fork out for the MX-02 at the moment. Will hold out for a while.

Grunig stock and anschutz match 54

I have been looking at getting my first smallbore rifle. I lay down with somebody else's grunig cs racer and was in love with it. Sadly I don't have the funds to buy one yet. Would it be totally mental to buy a CS stock and grunig butt plate and mount a second hand match 54 action till I can replace...

Re: Advantages of clear sights

I have pretty recently put them on my air rifle as where I have been shooting doesn't have the best lighting. I have found them to be pretty good for that. They aren't as "clear" as you would think and still show up nicely. (See terrible photo for bad illustration). I'm not too sure how th...

Anschutz Match 54.30

Has anybody had any experience with one, are they actually available yet?

If so what are peoples thoughts worth the extra bucks?

Im quite a small shooter and the loading port placement really interests me as its much cheaper than the kk500 or a bleiker.

Obviously I need to go back to my opticians with my glasses and get the same prescription in my right eye, but is there anyt...

Re: Centra pro 57 as a replacement on air arms mpr

I went for the Centra Pro 57 in the end and and I can say is how amazing it it, has a real sense of build quality and very easy to adjust.

Haven't got round to the front sight waiting to pay day at the end of the month.

Re: Advice on Eye dominance and what side to shoot

Thanks for all the advice. I think I am going to try and stick with my right hand as it just feel stronger and more comfortable and my right dominant eye and look into getting a lens to go on the sight.
