A detailed, descriptive and authoritative guide to the building of a modern Schuetzen rifle. Appendix 7 has 13 stock designs for modern Single-Shot actions. A Schuetzen is a type of rifle used in European long-range competition. Its German root is from the word Schütze which can be translated as ?shooter.? The earliest usage was to denote units of marksmen or sharpshooters back in the days of muzzleloading firearms. These rifles are typically heavy and can weigh upwards of 15 pounds. All shooting with these rifles is done standing using a palm rest and butt stock prongs to help the shooter balance the rifle so the weight aids in stability. Front sights are typically hooded, and a large rear diopter sight is used to act as a sunshade, blinder and to aid in precision shooting. Schuetzen Matches are shot at 200 yards with a specialized target. In some cases, the competitors go to great lengths in their quest for accuracy, such as pushing the lead bullet into the lands and grooves, for precise engagement. Then the case filled with powder and topped with a wad is loaded into the chamber behind it. Sometimes the case is primed and charged with either loose powder or premeasured paper packets that are dropped in the case mouth. The bullet is then simply inserted inside the mouth of the case prior to chambering. A superb Signed First Edition.LOC SSM-05. Signed. N° de réf. du vendeur 220610008
