A New Junior Rifle

[BobSm]

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.

a nice rifle, but way too high for me to purchase for a beginning shooter, lots of luck to him on selling them.

Fourteen years ago I purchased a used Anschutz Achiever for my 8 year old grandson. I payed $300 for it at a gun show. I was looking for an inexpensive starter rifle. I quickly justified the price with the hope that he would become a competition shooter. The Anschutz came with Anschutz sights and full set of set of stock spacers. He shoots rifles well but he prefers pistols.
