Ive seen only one 9003 doing the FT rounds, does anyone know anything about them?
Anschutz are obviously pushing them as a 10mtr rifle but no one "up here" has had any experience with this new "Uberweapon"
I think they retail for around £2800 in standard guise but how much does the conversion cost?
Just curious like

[Siy-co]

Barry mac at Springfield ARC has just picked one up, i think john Harris converted it over to 12ft/lb........ it is v lovely to shoot.

Time will tell

I still have not found out what the difference is between the 8002 and the 9003 ? they have the same reg as mine . they have the same barrel as mine . as far as i can see the only difference is a side lever cocking and anti flip . oh and the small matter of the difference in dosh . IE mine £ 650 . 9003 £ 2800 , plus converting ? nope i will stay a cheapo ??? HOLLY

Do the newer guns (8002/9003) have the same reg as the 2002 ?

From what I know, 9003 has a recoil dampener. I have red that few shooters even complain that a 9003 rifle feels like ded — nothing happens during shot. So shooter does not feel when the shot is fired.

From the few shots I had with Barry Macs I'd agree with that, it felt totally dead.

Fantastic rifle to shoot but SyCo
JH converted it to just under 12 ft lb not over

I'll have a drive down as well, couldnt book in as at 2 April and no reply since.

As regards new theyve came out in 2004, mine Sept 2005 untouched since Nov 2005 still on same reg seals.

Gotta weigh quite a bit Barry, heavy rifle and extra heavy scope, but they are amazing to shoot.
Shooting standers is uncanny, ultra dead feel it's like shooting a toy.

[kilty]

Connor, I don't get a chance to shoot it.
As soon as I take it out the bag, Holly grabs it and drools for the rest of the day

I have been told that it is the deadest (is that a word?) rifle to shoot.
JH has done the work and brought it up to S2 spec

cheers
Barry

[L-S-R]

There ain't anything out there to touch it for deadness Barry, I certainly haven't shot anything to equal it.

Holly, you know I'm 1st in the Q
Should have bought it when I had the chance

[Jon]

Gary had a cracking 8002 basic down south Wales, no stabilisor and just as good.

Jon this no ordinary 8002 . this was doppers old rifle . it has had a fortune spent on it . paul wilson stock , titanium air cylinder and on and on . god knows what it all cost . when i went down to dops gaff at MAD to try it out for ahmet ( turkish wrestler ) i tried it off the bench . the wind was way up and gustin hard . at a 50 yards resetter . it put a true line of pellets that looked like they had been done with a ruler . after 20 or so shots to get used to it . i waited till the wind was dying on a gust and knocked that -swearword- up and down till i got fed up with doing it . it is a beauty ???
