Jim Steele Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 Hi Victoria, I've only just signed up to this site on the advice of a club member. Due to a medical problem and following doctors advice my shooting days are over and am therefore selling off my equipment. I spotted your request for a rifle and thought I'd reply you before putting it on the for sale board:- Anschutz Match Model 1807L .22 Cal Long Rifle It does have a standard wooden stock. I understand your situation in saying you are 5' 2" although we do have an exceptional female shooter are our club who would make you look like a giant and she shoots the same rifle as myself. Anyway if you're interested come back to me and I'll take some photos - in the daylight. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhopper Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 £4k would be very close to getting a new KK500 and if there are any used ones out there then they'd be sub £4k. The huge advantage is when (or if) you come to sell it it'd far easier as it can be either RH or LH. The market for LH rifles is quite limited. They are also cracking good rifles and come ready to shoot out of the box - sights, butt plate, hand stop etc are all included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxeyman Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 Hi Victoria, At Laxey rifle club we have a left hand club air rifle if you want to come down to try air rifle, I know that St John's are working on setting up air rifle, but we have been doing air rifle for years. We also have a left hand Anshutz but it is a horrendous heavy old thing. i can be contacted on 07624491453. Airgun opening hours are 6-8 Friday and Saturday evenings.

Victoria Posted 19 December 2018 Author Share Posted 19 December 2018 Thanks, but I like shooting .22 and not wanting to change to air rifle. Thanks Victoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxeyman Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 Sorry Victoria, not trying to poach, it is just another branch of shooting to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted 19 December 2018 Author Share Posted 19 December 2018 It’s ok, at the Sinclair range, they want to provide air rifle shooters too, but I enjoy shooting 50m but as much as I’m doing ok with a right eye shooting, I’d prefer to be using my left.

Victoria Posted 1 February 2019 Author Share Posted 1 February 2019 I have found a rifle 😊 it arrived on Island yesterday and hopefully it’s ideal for me - that’s the trouble not being able to see or feel the weight of a rifle before purchasing. I still need rear sights for it if anyone has left hand or universal sights for sale? Thanks everyone! Victoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 WOW. Fantastic, What a superb rifle for you. I am sure you will get many, many hours of enjoyment from it. Everytime you look at it it will give you a buzz. Far better than putting your money in an old lump of iron that you will struggle to improve with. Everything comes to she who waits! Well Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licensing regulations, but I might see it on Wednesday. I'm told it maybe too big for me - but I'm hoping it can be resolved without having to sell it on and start a whole new quest.

jonty Posted 5 February 2019 Share Posted 5 February 2019 If you find it too large for you, seek advice, probably on here, I NEVER advocate cutting or chopping stocks down. It may be that the RSIII stock comes with an adapter to take the G&E action, if so, this would make it much easier to sell on as other action makes could be made to go into it. Maybe Tim S knows the answer to this? Jonty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
