#1 JH Anchutz 9015 Basic Bench Rest
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2017 4:40 pm
Went out a couple of weeks ago can be seen at Bisley week days.
Starts life as Anchutz 9015 Basic Bench Rest around 7J. Suitably power modified to sub 12ft/lb, stable -4 to 90F the culmination of 12 years R&D.
Criteria on this one was stability and 120 shots at 782 ft/sec 8.4gr.
Due to Anchutz quality out of my control they all differ. Isolating the differences down has taken many months to the extent of literally swapping one part over from another rifle taking from dog to something sublime.
New replacement steel cylinder complete with both valves, pain. New steel end plug, quick fill and steel dust cap fluted . Tube length is 2 3/4" longer than standard and get 165 shots +/-5 ft/sec over the charge.
Original steel cylinder after setup gave 137 shots, no need to have made above but better quality and blacked rather than painted original.
This ones not free floated but easy to cure, again they all vary.
Fairly shallow rail made to BKL mounts solves several problems others will find out shortly.
Quite a nice rifle to shoot very accurate after the setup can pick up the pellets fly after 15 yards.
