I stopped by I.S.S. today after my horrible RO session (forgot my range bag, which had my keys in it).

The action for the Anschutz was in, but the stock hasn't arrived yet (they ship separately from Germany).

Apparently the action on the guns they use in the Olympics has had some work done on it because this one required a little bit of force to operate the action. Also, after pushing the side lever forward, you also have to push at the back of the bolt in order to get it to go into battery.

I pulled the trigger a couple of times, and it is really sweet. A little bit heavier than some of the free pistols that I've tried.

It is interesting, to me at least, that in the Olympics they covered up the name of the rifle. Notice the large letters on the side:

They have an interesting video showing the disassembly of the bolt and firing pin. jga.anschuetz-sport.com/downloads/Montagevideos%20/Schlagbolzenwechsel.wmv?downloads

Do you think there is something wrong in there? I know you've probably mentioned it, but for what caliber is it chambered?

No, it doesn't concern me because I knew about it before ordering the rifle. Neal mentioned to me that watching the Olympics that he was sure that some sort of work had been done on the action seeing how quickly and apparently freely that the action was operated. So it met expectations.

Well, having looked it over carefully it exceeds my expectations because of the solid way it is built and the workmanship involved. Considering that it is going to cost out a little more than the Kimber, sans artwork, I'm expecting something for my money.

Just remembered: you asked the caliber; it is 22LR. I think I'll be shooting RWS ammo through it. I'll save the CCI Stingers for the Jennings. ;D

Modified to add:

Now this has to be the best e-mail that I've ever received:

The stock has arrived today! Come and get it!

Windage when shooting to the right = turn rotary knob in "R" direction

Windage when shooting to the left = turn rotary knob in "L" direction

Uhhhh, isn't this backwards? Don't we normally turn a knob towards "L" to move the shot to the left and towards "R" to move the shot to the right?

It isn't a misprint. The gun was shooting about a inch to the right and I didn't believe what I read. I therefore moved it further to the right by going towards "L". Don't believe everything you read, except in cases like this.
