Yo Yo Yo, fellow Biathlon Fans! OLN at Noon (Pacific time) on Wednesdays. My guide says it is ON tomorrow! Set those VCRs! I had heard that it was going to...
If we bought a new top end production rifle (Cooper, Anschutz, Sako) can we expect it to be perfect? That is, no scratches, no dings on the stock, magazine and...
Hi Z, Define "Perfect"... sometimes in the eye of the beholder. If I bought a brand new Anschutz I would: A) pay with a credit card B) inspect it upon arrival...
I dealt directly with Champion's Choice and had it shipped to my local gun shop after talking to them first. They charged me $30 or so to run it through them....
Z, You might also contact Marc Sheppard at Altiusguns.com. He is a quite knowledgeable and reputable dealer who does some fantastic custom work, too. Jay ... ...
Thanks to all for the responses. As a result, I find I have other options than my local gun shop. Never considered using my local shop as a delivery station...
Don't forget about Marc Sheppard at Altius Firearms. As their ad. says, they are the only Biathlon-specific store in the country. I have dealt with Marc and...
Talked to Joe at the Remington custom shop Friday. He said they can build me a CUSTOM 40-X similar to an Anschutz 54.18 for the same price. Am I comparing...
It's my understanding the main difference between the rifles that the pro's use and the ones used by the rest of us are the special (and expensive) barrels...
So when you look down the firing line and see all those Anschutzes, they are really custom rifles? The only thing from the factory is the stock, with the name...
Z, Stay away from the Remington Custom Shop deal. There is no way that they can put on all the accessories like snow covers, etc for the same price. The...
If I were going to get any custom work done I'd talk to Marc Shepard at Altius. He's a biathlete himself & straight-up honest. Does beautiful work. ...

Bjorndalen & Bailly won the world cup skiing on Madshus skating skis. In the opinion of the members of this group that ski on Madshus skis, are your skis that...

I am one of those people planning on doing a summer biathlon in New Jersey. I, like some of the other group members I am stuck in Maryland. Currently, I run...
Hi Darrin, There are a few schools of thought on biathlon rifles. This sport can be a very expensive one and many of the folks who compete in it are pretty...
Darrin, if you don't bump into anyone in Maryland to help you out, you might want to just wait until the day of the biathlon & go through the beginners'...
Here is just one more idea to consider. If you plan to just train with the rifle on a frequent basis, consider going with the Daisy 853C you can buy online....
Darrin: Summer Biathlon does not require that the runner carry his or her rifle. Therefore, you do not need a biathlon harness. Secondly, you do not need a...
Hi, Darrin, The New Jersey club, like many other summer biathlon groups, also lends/supplies (Marlin) club rifles for first-timers, so you do not need to feel...
