[Neesom Flip Over Sight]

Al

 

Barry's foresights are tailored for your sight radius (i.e.- the amount of offset in the inner tube is proportional to the distance between your rear iris and the plane of the front sight insert).

 

If you find someone willing to part with theirs, you may want to make sure their sight radius is close to yours.

 

I have two of Barry's foresights (both 22mm with the level) and they are wonderful. The longer it takes US shooters to catch on, the longer I will enjoy my advantage.

[Promoting The Forum]

A lot of forum members are a little shy and like to have a forum name other than their own.

 

A number of us who have been about for a while are happy to use our real names because we know that the forum is closed and not available to the public and that entry is policed by Neil.

 

This is especially good when Neil, Mac, Chris, David, Mike, Martin, Walter and various other creditable shooters are happy not to remain anonymous.

 

This gives the forum greater credibility as their views will be respected, well most of the time anyway, and this must be attractive to the rest of the membership to be able to seek and get advice from the experts.

 

I would like to see more people use their real names so we stand a chance of getting to know everyone better and even have avatars that are actual photos so that we can actually recognise each other and say "Hi" on the range.

 

As a long standing member I still have no idea who some of the regulars are who have obtuse forum names.

 

Is anyone else with me on this? This is also very much encouraged on a similar American forum that I have joined.

 

I am sure that this would add to the appeal of the forum or certainly if some more of the high profile shooters declared their real names it might encourage some of the shy ones to become more public.

Of the several shooting websites that I frequent, stirton.com and The Smallbore Journal remain my favorites. Both feature a high degree of sharing and substance mixed with occasional humorous exchanges.

 

Although I surf Target Talk and Benchrest Central Rimfire Forum, I find the testy personal exchanges are a significant deterrant to participating on them. Being a 'credible expert' there does not necessarily spare you from unpleasant and non-constructive replies.

 

The Smallbore Journal is unique in enforcing the use of your name. Even here, I sometimes learn a member's identity from context or by a reply addressing a post with their real name. Both that forum and this one require registration, have active moderators, and attract competitors who are willing to share their hard-earned discoveries. These features create environments where sharing and discussion aren't punishing experiences.

 

Since the subject matter is shooting, a fair amount of teasing and even some good-natured sarcasm are to be expected.

[Wanted 2013 Left-hand Stock]

Bob:

 

The (hardly) used Anschutz 2013 metallic stock at Champion Shooter's Supply actually is mine. They have it on a consignment basis.

 

If the approximate price is OK, perhaps I could ship it to you as individual-to-individual? I'm not versed in the regulations and/or possible legal technicalities, so I'd have to rely on your advice on this.
