Evening everyone,
I hope I’m putting this in the right place. A few weeks ago I had a disappointing match at the CMP in Anniston AL. Two days before the match I shot a sub 1-inch 60 shot group. At the match I shot a 4+ inch group. I think the problem is me, not the rifle, but it gave an excuse to look around. A member of our RC club was also shooting and doing very well. He mentioned he had an old Anschutz at home in the closet and it could be available. He’s retired military and his wife is active duty and both shoot competitively. He brought it by today and it checked all my boxes just looking at it. It’s several steps above my current rifle and looking at the stickers on it, it’s been used in the PanAm Final Match, the 02 World Championship and the 04 Athens Olympics. It’s been there and done that as his comp rifle. He’s not using it now and has offered to sell it to me. Other than I’m not worthy of it i can think of no reason not to buy it. He’s almost giving it away, less than $1200. Any reason not to buy this? I can’t think of one even I wasn’t competing. Opinions? Thanks.
