Send 'em an email?

You might not be the only one, with some customer feedback maybe they'll start ;)

Or have one on the way already you don't know about.

As they say, You don't know what you don't know.

Buying my Anschütz 1416 with the adjustable trigger opened my eyes.

Before that I never thought to change anything on my hunting rifles. Shot a bunch mates rifles as well and found all of them fine.

Set the Anschütz real light and crisp and shot it... That's when ideas of tinkering with the hunting rifles set in :lol:

Yep, Anschutz realy know how to make a trigger, and the rest!

First time I pulled an Anie 2 stage match trigger it scared the s**t out of me.

Now I love it, but you wouldn't have one on a hunter.

Most standard hunter triggers are just... just... well just triggers.

I guess that's why there's the after market.

The trigger is the no.1 interface between you and the rifle a very personal thing, it surprises me that good adjustable triggers are not the standard. :geek:

Simple as that hey? good job.

Sure #1 wasn't the hammer spring in the wrong place? :lol:

Has it changed the feel of the break much?

Too light you thought at the time, worried about accidental discharge? Is that what you mean?

Is that a replacement made for the Annie specially?

Or a light one you dug up yourself to fit?

Exactly,

I'm a bit old to hunt much any more so I just thought I'd treat myself to a really good 22 for the range.

Not a proper target rifle but an Anschutz 64 MPR starts to get close.

Out of the box first dry fire (pin removed) was just sooo different from anything I'd had.

But first time at the range it's wasn't a drama the "feel" was unbeleivable, it's like just thinking about releasing the shot and off it goes.

:D

I know that one, and the 1416D Annie.

Impressive shooting... I've seen a guy shooting the Anschutz with the really wide, heavy stock. And heavier barrel too I think from memory.

That's the 'proper' target rifles they make?

At 50m hard to see how it could be much better than the 2 above because they shoot good!

Hi Vexesus (Burn he witches hey :lol: I'm a Python fan)

The MPR stands for Multi Purpose Rifle, you might have seen a BR which is the same 64 Barreled action with a wider stock.

"Targets" are normally built on the 54 action on adjustable aluminimum stocks, most people ask "what the **** is THAT" when they first see one.

Big bucks and you'd want to be real serious about target shooting to go the whole hog.

You end up at the olympics. if you're good enough :ugeek:

My favourite scene :D

There are ways of telling if she's a witch.

Are there?

Tell me, what do you do with witches?

Burn them!

And what do you burn apart from witches?

Wood!

So why do witches burn?

...Because there made of wood?

Good! So how do you tell if she is made of wood?

Build a bridge out of her!

Ah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?

Oh yeah...

Does wood sink in Water?

No, it floats! *gasp* Throw her into the pond!

What also floats in water?

A duck.

Exactly. So logically...

If she...weighs.. the same as a duck, she's made of wood...

And therefore?

A witch! YEAAAAH!


He he he :lol:

Cheers for answers about the action etc.
