A New Junior Rifle

[Bob Smalser]

Had a nice chat with Homer Pearson, owner of Champions Choice shooter supply today. Homer recently commissioned the first ISSU/NCAA competitive junior rifle since the discontinued 1980 Anschutz Achiever and has 150 of them on hand and 50 more on order. Homer designed this one himself with all the right adjustment features for beginners ages 10 through adult to include a fully-adjustable 5099 (700-gram) trigger with ambidextrous stock with comb and buttstock hardware that will also take the optional CC hook buttplate. He has also commissioned an inexpensive optional 8-inch sight extension with riser blocks for those so inclined. A perfect "first rifle", of much higher quality than the old Achiever and at a hundred bucks cheaper than CMP's 1903. It even has a walnut stock.

As Homer retains design rights, CC will likely be the only source of these in the near future.

Wow, that looks like a great deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 1903 is a 64-series action isn't it?

 

[Howard Roark]

It is a 64 series round action.

Bummer, I was hoping they would sell the 54 for that price... I guess one can dream...
