I just finished the article on Biathlon rifles in the latest issue of Canadian Firearms Journal. It was a very enjoyable and informative read, and when I had finished I turned back to the start to see who had written it. Lo and behold, it was AR regular Frans Diepstraten! I found the description of the Anshutz-Fortner action particularily intriguing. I have some difficulty visualizing how the grip is maintained while the thumb and forefinger is used to work the bolt. As I imagine it, the lower three fingers remain wrapped around the grip, while the trigger finger and thumb come outside of the grip to work the bolt with a wrist flick. Is this about right? | ||

See the biathlon shooting technique at 0:22 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch? -+-+- "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." - The Dalai Lama | |||

Thanks for the kind words, Wooly! Whenever I lie beside one of our team members, who used to race for Switzerland, and almost made it to the German team, I feel so inadequate... I just hear the quick click-click of the straight-pull and his next shot, and I'm barely done pulling the bolt back on my old regular bolt-action Anschutz (borrowed from the club). The Izhmash is somewhere in Questar's import process, and they are not making haste :-( Can't wait to give that gun a try. Cheers! Frans | |||
