Does anyone have information on studies done on barrel twist for .22
RF?  Everyone at one time was shooting with the convensional 1-16
twist.  Now you see barrel makers advertising 1-17 twist.  Some will
make just about any twist you want.  I've seen stuff written about the .22
RF bullet, but nothing about barrel twist.  Any thoughts??

          Here is the question, I'm thinking about upgrading my 
          smallbore rifle.  I have an older Anschutz Super Match made 
          in 1963, it has a thumbhole stock, but it does not have an 
          adjustable cheekpiece.  I think it is a model 1413.  Most of 
          my shooting is in a winter league shooting 4 position with a 
          scope.  (It hard to get the older shooters to change the 
          format and shoot international.)
          
          There is quite a price difference between the 1912 models 
          all the way up to the 2013.  ($775.00) I have been thinking 
          about a 1912 because of the lighter weight may be an 
          advantage in offhand, and the cost is quite a bit less.  
          What are your thoughts on the different models?

Also, as a follow-up to the discussion of rapid-fire air pistol a couple
of months ago, I recently noticed that Noptel has released a version of their
training system designed specifically for this discipline.  Unfortunately,
the only information I found about it was in German (their English page 
makes no mention of it yet), so I haven't any details regarding its 
specifications. 

Good Shooting,

I have just purchased a new Anshutz 1907 and would like to know whether you
or any of your readers have any recommended ideas when starting out with a
new Anshutz to ensure the best is obtained from the rifle from day one.

Do they need the same sort of 'breaking in' as a centre fire rifle ??, i.e.
cleaning after every five shots etc ??

Thanks

[Editor - I have not heard of having to do anything like that and their
manual doesn't indicate a breakin period. Most people regularly clean them
after each practice or match.]

Apparently Custom Leather Wear in Canada is starting to offer Nenoflec
canvas for use in their custom shooting coats and pants.  I have been
looking for information but so far I haven't turned up any info about it.  

Does anyone know about the Nenoflec canvas and more specifically I am
interested to hear about the advantages of using it?  I understand that it
doesn't stretch or rot but I am wondering how breathable it is?  Are there
other advantages as well?

Thanks...
