The Anschutz I'm looking at is purely for the range, for target shooting only, and lots of practice.
I want to get good enough at target shooting to be able to enter some postal competitions. And at that price, with some saving, I could probably buy both that and the Zastava.
I'm still considering the Zastava CZ99 for shooting at home and on a mates place, which has a 5 shot magazine. I don't even want to try a single shot when I'm going after foxes. By the time I reload, the fox would be in the next postcode!
Aside from that, this rifle I will get to "try before I buy". How does that work for one you buy new from a GS? Is it just pot luck? Obviously you couldn't go in and say, I wanna shoot this and this and this, and see which one I like, but what's the go with buying off the shelf?
I'm not ready to buy either just yet (he's holding the Anschutz until I decide), but I do know that my license has been approved and should be back early next week. After that, I'll send off my PTA (I need time to save for the rifle), and also look at a case for it (rifle is in a bag at the moment that is leaving fluff EVERYWHERE on it).
Anyone got any opinions on the lockable cases? Hard plastic or aluminim?
This is for transport only. It wouldn't fit in my safe. And, as I wont be shooting prone with either rifle, is there a market for the bits I wont be using, or should I just hang onto them?
Just after opinions guys.
Have a fantastic day, and weekend!

Back from a break, and ready to shoot again
