RE:Steyr LG-100
We have recently added the Steyr LG-100 to our inventory at the Naval Academy. The main reason for our purchase was its ability to easily be used by right- or left-handed shooters. With the replacement of the detachable pistol grip, the new Steyr is easily adjusted for both.
In addition, the quality of the rifle is outstanding. I have heard from reliable sources that the FWB and Anschutz are the top air rifles with Steyr and Walther right behind. All I can pass on is this- I have extensively tested the accuracy of FWB and Anschutz air rifles (both crank and compressed) and find that the Steyr is every bit their equal. In fact, when we received our rifle from Scott Pilkington, not only was the factory test target included, but a test target that Scott had fired- along with a sample tin of the Vogel pellets he used to test the rifle! The holes from the fired groups were as good as any I have seen and easily picked up pellets.
I have issued the Steyr to one of my top shooters. Left-handed, he has complained for several years of an inability to adjust his air rifles (both FWB and Anschutz) so that he could get his head/eye lined up directly behind the sights. With only a brief time to use the new Steyr, he says that this problem has finally been eliminated. The Steyr's stock adjustments seem to have eliminated the problem.
While this is only an early report, I would have to say that thus far I have nothing but good to say about Steyr's newest entry into the air rifle market. My only complaint is that the stock is black/gold (Army colors)and not blue and gold. Maybe if we order a couple of dozen Steyr can get the colors right!

Hi: to all rifle shooters... International or NRA.
I'm conducting a poll about trigger weight for prone rifle shooting.
What is the ideal weight for: First Stage:______ Second Stage:______ or Single Stage:______?

[Editor - mine is about 25% first stage, 75% second stage with a total weight near the low end of the scale, though I'm thinking of going to 40/60 or cleaning the trigger because it doesn't seem too consistent on the first stage right now.]

The trigger weight on my anschutz 1913 is two stage set on
first stage 10 gram
second stage 80 gram
For my Feinwerkbau 603 airrifle the trigger is single stage 65 gram
good luck with the pole, I'am curious about the results.

For all the Anschutz 2000 series action owners out there:
What have you done to get your rifle to shoot well? Nearly everything I've read or heard says it is a real bear to get this action to shoot consistently small groups, even going so far as to having to change torque settings between lots of top quality ammo, which can be an incredible pain when you have 4 screws to torque. It seems a couple people have had success with glueing the action. Is it really this difficult? Anyone with nice groups out of the box?
