ON THE COVER Although knife handles have been made out of Pakkawood for years, making stocks from it is a recent trend. Pakkawood starts out a s hardwood veneers, each .04 to .05-inch thick, which are vacuum-impregnated with resin and dye. The result is an immensely dense, strong material, impervious to rain and most chemical solvents. The laminate's colors are limited only by the customer's imagination. Silver Black, Raspberry and Tigerwood are only some of the combinations shown. There's even a plain Walnut for conservative riflemen.

AIR RIFLES J. LGALAN

Interesting New Smoothbores VER SINCE I began writing this E column back in January of 1983,

I have stayed faithful to its title; that is, I have dealt only with long guns hav- ing rifled bores. This time, however, I am going to bend that rule somewhat, in order to review some of the latest domestic airguns with smoothbore bar- rels as one of their common denomi- nators. Besides their smooth tubes, these models also share other traits such as suggested retail price tags in the $40 to $50 range, a remarkable resemblance to famous centerfire arms and a tremendous capacity for inexpen- sive plinking fun right in one’s own back

yard. nYo of the models are produced by Crosman Air Guns, the undisputed leader in the field of C02-powered guns, while the third comes from the Daisy Mfg. Co., the century-old creator of the BB-gun empire and an American in- stitution in its own right.

The Crosman Model AIR-17 is hardly brand-new. As a matter of fact, this fairly detailed replica of the AR-15 semiauto rifle was first introduced back in 1985. I t is a matter of record that the AIR-17 broke all sales predictions at Crosman almost from the beginning, and for good reason. After years of

lop, the Crosman AIR-17 boasts a close resemblance to Colt’s AR-15 and shoots .177caliber pellets. Center, Daisy’s brand-new Model 814 is a full-sized replica of Ruger’s Mini-14. Right, 20 66’s as fast as the trigger can be pulled, make the Crosman 2-77 a lot of fun for backyard commandos.

6 RIFLE 115

producing more or less traditional- looking pneumatic and C02 long guns, Crosman decided to take the plunge and market an air-powered lookalike of one of the most popular assault rifles available in the U.S. Shooters evidently liked the idea and the rest is history. Crosman can hardly keep up with the demand.

Despite its obvious militaristic ap- pearance, the AIR-17 is really mild- mannered. Measuring 36% inches over- all and weighing just over 3 pounds, the AIR-17 still manages to have a generous buttstock that feels just like the real thing. The plastic forestock also doubles as the pumping arm of a single-stroke pneumatic power plant, producing an average muzzle velocity of 400 f ps with .177-caliber pellets and 450 fps when BB's are used. As many as 195 of the latter can be loaded in a reservoir. From there, they are transferred to a gravity- feed magazine located in the top part of the receiver. The magazine holds 21 BB's. Pellets can be loaded singly or in special four-shot clips. The clips come in extremely handy, as they can speed up the pace of loading and shooting quite a bit. The dummy magazine is removable and serves to store extra clips, pellets or BB's. In addition, there is more storage space for ammo in the hollow buttstock.

Not surprisingly, pellets are usually more accurate than BB's when shot from a smoothbore barrel. This is due to their unique hourglass design, as op- posed to the round BB with its often er- ratic trajectory. In any event, the AIR-17 can shoot quite well with match pellets out to 25 yards or so, usually grouping within 1% inches a t that range.

The rear peep sight, located in the car rying handle, can be adjusted by means of a single screw. The front post is decidedly a bit too large for anything but plinking, however. The non- adjustable trigger is entirely adequate for a plinking or training gun and has the expected crossbolt-style manual safety.

At the 1987 SHm Show, Crosman in- troduced another plinker that caused quite a stir among backyard comman- dos of all ages. This time, however, the gun in question shot BB's only and was powered by C02. The Crosman Model 2-77 is an almost exact duplicate of the Uzi submachine gun so popular with anti-terrorist and security personnel around the world. The 2-77, however, has a magazine capacity of 20 BB's, which are fired semiautomatically only. One 12-gram Crosman C02 power plant gives plenty of power and can empty several magazines before it needs replac- ing. Muzzle velocity is approximately 400 fps.

JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988

The 2-77, as expected, is equipped with non-adjustable sights that are perfectly adequate for the fast-firing use this model is likely to see. I t also sports a realistic folding stock and an ad- justable web sling. With the stock ex- tended, the 2-77 measures a full 25 inches. When it is retracted, length is reduced to a handy 16% inches. n t a l weight is 2 pounds, 3 ounces. Empty match boxes, candy wafers and a host of other soft and safe plinking targets can be chewed up in short order with the quick-s hooting 2-7 7.

The Daisy Manufacturing Company has just officially unveiled its latest model under the Power Line group of airguns. I t is called the Model 814 Sporter and, as the accompanying photos reveal, it is a shockingly detailed copy of the enormously popular Ruger Mini-14. The 814, like the Crosman AIR-17, operates with a single-stroke pneumatic power plant. One pump- stroke of the forearm stores enough compressed air to shoot a .177-caliber pellet 370 fps or so, while BB's, being a bit lighter, leave the muzzle around 400 fps. Incidentally, 350 BB's can be stored in the gun's BB reservoir. BB's are gravity-fed each time the gun is cocked, while pellets must be loaded singly. Unlike the AIR-17, the Daisy 814 has no provision to use pellet clips. The dummy magazine is removable and can be used to store extra pellets or BB's.

The 814 comes with a detachable wire stock that gives the gun a decidedly paramilitary flavor. The stock is strong enocgh for adult use and can be easily removed for storage or transportation. Overall, the 814 measures just over 38 inches with the stock installed and 27% inches with it removed. I t weighs 2.8 pounds with the stock attached.

The sights consist of a rear peep, ad- justable for windage and elevation, with the typical blade and ramp front sight that characterizes the Mini-14. One added point in favor of the 814 is that the rear sight assembly can be removed to allow use of a telescopic sight. The latter can be mounted on the molded dovetail above the receiver. From a prac- tical standpoint, there is really no reason to scope a gun like this. Its ac- curacy potential is similar to that of the AIR-17 but it might be fun to experi- ment, if only to be able to see the target more clearly.

Don't think for one second that any of these models are toys. Even a puny BB traveling around 400 fps can penetrate flesh if it strikes an exposed part of the body or cause a very serious injury if it hits an eye. Consequently, these guns must be handled with the same respect granted firearms.

Exciting News: Beeman R1 Now in 5mm! The Beeman R1 Magnum is even more exciting in its new 5mm (.20" caliber) ver- sion-the ideal adult field air rifle. It has a greater pro- jectile weight than the .177" caliber and a higher velocity than the .22". The increase in velocity will also give you a flatter trajectory than .22" while maintaining an out- standing impact and wind resistance. The Beeman R 1 Maanum in 5mm is simply

T STARTED ABOUT six months I ago. Several of us were out at the San Diego County Fish & Game Association’s range reminiscing about the seventies when we used to practice there for regional benchrest competi- tion. I became very aware of how things are changing. Since then I’ve been do- ing a lot of thinking about where the shooting sports seem to be headed.

I see manufacturers cringing at plum- meting sales. I see housing tracts eating up habitat - I mean shooter’s habitat! I see southern California cowboys and commandos creating enough bad PR. to give a gun lobbyist ulcers. Statistics suggest that only about one in four Americans own guns, which means that non-shooters outnumber shooters three to one! A large percentage of those non- shooters believe that guns are only used to kill things or to pretend to kill things. They do not think of guns as something used to win Olympic medals, trophies and prize money. In other words, shooters have an image problem.

The shooters with the fewest image problems are the International Match shooters and the super-accuracy buffs - the benchresters. Both activities fall under the heading of precision shooting and are very exciting for their par- ticipants because each person is laying his or her skill on the line in friendly competition against the next guy. Nothing’s being killed (except maybe a few egos). Lots of people wouldn’t mind shooting that kind of game!

Many aren’t too interested in strap- ping on a big, hot, sweaty shooting coat and lying down in the weeds, or crouchinglsitting/kneeling/standing and trying to hold a huge rifle steady while preparing to be knocked fuzzy by the recoil. That rules out Olympic and National Match shooting, and leaves benchrest.

Benchrest competition has always been rather esoteric. Most people don’t fully understand it; they just know it’s possible to shoot little bitty, one-hole groups but they wouldn’t know where

to get the guns and equipment to play the game if they wanted to. Affording i t all is yet another problem! Still.. . those beautiful rifles.. . those knowledgeable marksmen.. . those comfortable benches.. . those incredi- ble groups! But it costs between $2,000 and $3,000 to be competitive. That’s why BR-50, aka Rimfire Benchrest, was conceived.

BR-50 is the benchrest game scaled down to .22 rimfire. I t is designed to be played a t 50 yards without the noise, hassle and expense. Not that it’s cheap mind you. Rimfire match rifles are ex- pensive but at least they’re available, in various grades, right off the shelf. They don’t have to be custom-built to be com- petitive. BR-50 is meant to be an out-

of-the-box game, basically. Some people will probably want to attach some sort of bag skid to the forend to give the rifle added stability on the front rest but that’s about all that would be needed - and that could easily be removed when the gun is to be used for other competition.

I can almost hear some of you think- ing to yourselves, “Rimfire - why?”

Not nearly as many guys can put ’em all in one hole a t 50 yards with a .22 as think they can. In fact, when most people first sit down to try this, they feel like they’re mountain climbing on roller skates! I t is, shall we say - difficult?

fps is definitely susceptible to wind. Imagine the challenge of correctly dop- ing the condition! Let me reiterate: the bullet wighs less than two-thirds those fired in 6mm BR’s and it’s only going one-third as fast. That has the effect of turning the conditions to “full on.” I t amplifies everything. I’ve met only a few individuals who can actually handle it.

In the accuracy game, the challenge of precision shooting is the same whether we’re using airguns at 10 meters, rimfire at 50 or 100 yards, centerfire a t 100 to 1,000 yards or the U.S.S. New Jersey at 20 miles. It’s the

group size that counts at distances that are within reason - and the reasonable competition distance for rimfire BR is 50 yards. Just think how many ranges are accessible, close to home, for serious practice.

Scopes? Ri-i-ight! Picture getting to use the really great 16 to 25x glass that’s available over the counter. When you’re looking at a 50-yard BR target with a 20x scope, you see the same sight-picture you’re familiar with at 200 yards, only your bullet holes look like .45 caliber. (At 25x it’s possible to watch the bullets in flight but too much magnification too close and you can’t

see enough of the wind flags. You’re out of business!)

As usual, there are no free lunches. You will miss out on the enjoyable and educational handloading experience. That’s bad and there’s no denying it. What do you do instead? Well, with the money you won’t be spending on spe- cialized loading equipment, you buy yourself a top-of-the-line chronograph and 1,000 rounds each of the top five brands of rimfire match ammunition. And wind flags! (Don’t leave home without ’em.)

By the time you have seriously

JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1988 33

evaluated all 5,000 rounds, you will have made some very pleasant discoveries:

You can still hear!

Your barrel just keeps get- ting better and better. (You might go ahead and clean it every 200 or 300 rounds though, just so you don’t forget how - but the next couple of groups out of that clean barrel may be erratic.) In the Remington proof shop, they once put 80,000 rounds through a match rimfire barrel without cleaning it and found less than .0005 inch of wear and no loss of accuracy after the last round was fired.

Fully loaded match ammo costs less than handmade precision bullets alone. No need for powder, primers, etc. Instead, you invest your time in shooting practice.

You have learned to dope conditions like nobody else you know! (Have I mentioned wind flags?)

State-of-the-art equipment is necessary to be truly competitive in the

accuracy game on any level, but if you still think a .22 rimfire is a kid’s gun, I suggest you handload your wallet and check out a Remington 40XR or any top-grade match rifle by Anschutz, Walther or Feinwerkbau. If their prices are X-rated enough for you, just remember that there are as many things to refine in making a rimfire rifle shoot a quarter MOA at 50 yards as there are in any category of BR guns.

On the other hand, in an effort to establish BR-50 in the eyes of the shooting public (and everyone else) as the truly enjoyable game it can be, it seems good to keep it as open as possi- ble to new players. Rather than bogging the guns down with a bunch of restric- tive rules and regs we think we have a better approach. Then too, the creation of half a dozen different categories or classes designed to accommodate every Tom, Dick and Susan, always results in enormous amounts of record keeping and statistical logjams. Even so, some system is necessary to keep the com- petition meaningful. Until further notice, the system is as follows:

Rifles:

Any .22 Rimfire (Long Rifle), no restrictions on stocks, triggers, etc, but

no return-to-battery systems in official competition (explained later). Instead of classification by weight limits, there will be a handicapping system based on a weight reference - in this case, 12 pounds. Rifle and scope, ready to fire but with chamber empty, will be weighed. Any amount over 12 pounds will be handicapped by one percent per pound. This Handicap-Percentage (HP) will be added to the shooter’s match average at the end of the match to deter- mine his or her corrected score or ag- gregate. Any weight under 1 2 pounds will have this same one percent HP sub- tracted from the shooter’s match average to determine hislher aggregate.

I t is the aggregates that will stand as the official records and determine the match winners (lst , 2nd, 314, awards and prize money.

Example A:

Torn’s rifle weighs 17.6 pounds. His match average would have to be en- larged by 5.6 percent to arrive at his ag- gregate. Say he shot a .261 Match Average: .261 + 5.6 percent = .276. Tom’s aggregate would be .276.

Example B:

Dick’s rifle weighs 9.8 pounds. His match aggregate would have to be reduced 2.2 percent to arrive a t his ag-

hap- rage,

34 RIFLE 115

Some representative groups punched out with a Remington 54XR and Eley Tenex ammo at 50 yards.

then 261 - 2.2 percent = .255. Dick’s aggregate would be 2 5 5 and he would win because he shot the same match aggregate with a rifle 7.8 pounds lighter, hence an aggregate .0021 less! (The reasoning is that lighter rifles are less steady, theoretically, even from a benchrest.)

The reason 12 pounds was selected as the weight reference is because BR-50 was conceived as an out-of-the-box game, allowing players to use their Silhouette guns, National Match guns, Olympic match and Biathlon guns, as well as specially built rimfire BR rifles and even their favorite squirrel busters. Since the heaviest (with scope) would weigh about 17 pounds and the lightest

(sporters) would be near 7 pounds, the average came out to 12 pounds. I t is hoped this system will stimulate development of extremely accurate, yet very light rifles.

Rests:

Anything legal for centerfire benchrest.

Official Matches:

Since BR-50 is meant to be as accessi- ble as possible to everyone who wants to play, the match format should com-
