This is a Stevens Visible Loader "pump action" . My son inherited this from Grandpa who inherited it from his father. My guess would be 1915 -1920 ish for purchase date.

My goal of a 40X trainer that is identical to my .260 is getting closer. All that's left is to scope them the same. I have 2 of the new Steiner 5-25's on pre-order, so I'll hopefully be done in September or October. The 40X just got a new Lilja barrel. I had it cut to 24" instead of the 27" of the .260 to reduce dwell time of the bullet in the barrel but still look and feel similar to the big dog.



I shot it for the first time this morning in this configuration.



I tried 3 types of Eley ammo. Target, Edge, and Match. There was enough wind to muddy the waters, but I did get almost 2 groups fired during lulls in the wind. The group shot with Edge measures 1/4" (5 shots at 50m). The group with Match measured a little less 3/16" till the last shot when the wind came up just in time to spoil it. I was running the bolt as fast as I could, but just couldn't get all 5 off in time. It even shot inexpensive Target pretty well, laying down a couple of groups of less than 3/8".





I'm pretty darn happy with how it's turning out. My only regret is putting the 40X in an AICS 1.5 instead of another 2.0. It's a huge PITA to clean with that adjustable butt plate.

My Anschutz 2018.

Benchmark 2 groove reverse taper barrel with cone breech, Warner rear sight and RightSight front on BeeSting tuner bloop tube. At the end of the bloop tube is a 22 suppressor just because I like things quiet. Not ISSF legal, but it is removable.

Wicked accurate with both Eley Black and Red. I havent done much lot testing but so far it will clean a 50 meter international target with ease. As soon as I have access to a 100 yard indoor range (2-3 weeks from now) I will begin lot testing at 50 and 100.

So I was trolling this thread when I came across Hosers Anschutz 2018. So how many rounds to a lot and how many lots do you normally test? Is it enough to get you through a season of practice and matches, is that the idea behind it? Man that thing looks awesome!

A "lot" of Eley ammo is many thousands of rounds. Like a pallet of ammo.

For lot testing you buy several 50 round boxes from a few different lots. Some guys look for lots around a certain velocity and others look for ammo that was made on a certain machine. Some guys go nuts and look for both.

Once they find a good lot of ammo they buy a case or five of ammo.

I buy a case or two of ammo that shows promise. And Eley isn't cheap so buying 15-20K isn't something I can sneak past my bride.

Tagged to post mine later, but damn, many of these are insanely nice.

I have a thing for .22 trainers that are identical to their centerfire primary brothers.

This is my Nordic .22 upper next to big brother in .223. The lowers are identical. The scopes don't match, but all my AR optics are on QD mounts so they are easy to swap around. The trained eye will be able to tell which is which. Or maybe not. The version on photobucket is pretty low resolution. The .22 is on the bottom.

I shot it tonight for the first time with this barrel (I also have a 7" for use on my SBR lower) down at the OTC. It's harder to shoot than my 40X, but that's what I expected. My score for 60 shots averaged in the nine ring (560). For comparison, the 40x shoots all 10's (personal best of 598, gun is capable of a perfect 600) . I don't think it will ever be as accurate as the 40X, but I'm guessing I can bring that score up 20 points or more with some more time behind it.

This will be my trainer for the carbine side of some bigger matches this year. Starting next week, I'll shoot it off a pack, not a bipod.

Very nice, Tim! I guessed the lower one was .22 due to the size of the can.

BTW, do you guys post the match scores on the windows at the OTC? I think I saw your name on a score sheet there a while back.
