I bought this from Anschutz in 1975 so that I could participate in the “new” Air Rifle competition at the 15th US International Shooting Championships at the Black Canyon Range (now Ben Avery Shooting Center) in Phoenix. That was the only match I ever shot with it. The inspection sticker for the match is still on the stock. Since then, it has been carefully maintained in my safe and fired only occasionally (it is pristine!) when someone new to shooting wanted to try a few shots in the backyard. Zero recoil! Early last year I read about the possibility of leaking in the recoil compensation mechanism and checked it…..happy to see that no leakage had occurred. To make sure it did not happen going forward, I replaced all of the seals and piston buffer, refilled the piston, and replaced the main spring with parts and guidance from John MacLeod at Custom Gun Parts in the UK. It shoots as well as it ever did! Chronograph test shows muzzle velocity for RWS R10 Match ten shots: 573, 575, 583, 587, 584, 581, 579, 575, 582, 585 = average 580.4 +/- 4.7 (0.8 %)
