Letters Carl, I trust you may remember me from our previous conversations. I was and still persevere to introduce BR to my local club. While I am making progress. The uptake is regretably slow. This, as I am sure you have experianced, is due to specialised cost of the front rests etc. We currently improvise with a kind of affordable “Logrest” approach. To the point of this communication. I am intending to persue the conversion of my Steyr LG110 air rifle to BR. Having read your informative article (and realising it would be an imposition). I am wondering, since I am local to you. if it might be possible to afford me the opportunity to look over and take basic measurements your featured woodwork. I am quite well known in the local and Bisley communities and can give any security referances you may require. I make this request of you since I am not familiar with the regulations or the desirable features neccessary to perfect this project. I am a competant stockmaker of many years experiance and so have the craft, but this exercise requires some expert technical and class rule knowledge which I do not posess. Thanks in anticipation of your kind indulgence. Rod Hi Rod. Yes starting up in benchrest can be expensive and your approach is novel but worrking in the right direction - you are starting which is half the job. I made up some wooden rests when I first stated. You don’t have to buy expensive to start with as there are cheap Hoppes and Caldwell rests out there, starting from around forty pounds and bags around twenty pounds. This is not that pricey and is in the realms of getting club gear to start you all off - if your club will help all the better. I know how hard it is, as rimfire and air rifle benchrest did not even exist in this country when I first started. Its funny that I am about to help make a second stock for an LG series rifle. The template is there to measure, although I would say that mine was very much a prototype. You now have my email so by all means contact me for further data. If you have any other questions or need for help, please contact me, as if I don’t know I know lots that will. Cheers, Carl Hi Target Shooter, I can’t find a torque setting for the 2 pallor screws for my 1422 anschutz 22 rifle. Does anyone know these figures as the manual doesn’t have the settings? I would appreciate it very much. This would be the 2 screws that attach the stock to the receiver. Thanks Cregg Hi Cregg. Torque is one of those things that I would work up to, depending on a lot of factors such as if you have bedding, what type of bedding, the condition of the stock, etc. Personally I would start at a low setting and see what groups you are getting. I tend to work with newton meters to be honest, shooting a 2013 action set at 5nm, with pillar bedding in a wood stock. If you prefer there are a number of online convertors to change newton meter data into inch pound data or visa versa; http://www.asknumbers.com/TorqueConversion. aspx I believe the 1422 is a 54 action and the absolute limits for this would be about 38 to 40 inch pounds, but be very careful on the upper limits. Again this depends on the quality of your setup. Personally I would start at about 24 inch pounds and work up to what suits the rifle accuracy the best. Each rifle will be different so saying that everyone will shoot the same at the same torque setting may the answer you want, but it depends on your own beliefs. For better answers than I can give on older models, a good place to visit would be rimfire central forums. I would start here first. There is an Anschutz forum that has its own section and a lot of answers can be found here for a variety of subjects or by posting you own question. Let us know how you get on. http://rimfirecentral.com/forums/index.php Carl If you have an issue, question or comment then please send letters via customer support on the website. 94 Target Shooter
