Anschutz 8002
Just picked up an Anschutz 8002 Target Rifle for practice and hopefully some air rifle matches to go along with my Air Arms.

Re: Anschutz 8002
I agree with Dustin. If you don't like that rifle then you need to seek professional help. I have had several target rifles and have used them for 10 meter and silo. I had a 2002 and it was the best silo rifle I ever had for any silo shooting. wasn't as good for 10 meter for some reason, but the 8002 is magnitudes better. I didn't think that was possible but it is and it works well for 10 meter shooting as well!
Better yet I bought the 8002 from CMP before the price went way up. It usually works the other way for me.

Re: Anschutz 8002
Love it so far... got it all adjusted and love the trigger on it, I loved my Styer AZ modified Air rifle too (used it for Field Target and Open class), but sold it before I moved west, still kick myself on that.

Re: Anschutz 8002
Nice acquisition there Bob! I have a 2002 CA I picked up earlier this year. Where are the local air rifle matches held, either 10 meter or silhouette?

Re: Anschutz 8002
The Silhouette ones stopped before we moved here , they were held at the Ben Avery Air Rifle building. Right now Rio is doing some shooting in their new building I hear, but I mostly use it for practice and with the Juniors I coach in 4P.thauglor wrote:Nice acquisition there Bob!

Re: Anschutz 8002
I did find the Phoenix airgun club website, and they shoot at Rio. Here is the calender for their club: http://www.phoenixairgun.net/calendar
I will try and plan on going to the one on the 19th.

Re: Anschutz 8002
$2,295 at Champions and the 8001's at the CMP $1,475-$1,675 depending on which one you get. Just shop around for the best prices and look at used ones too.kd5zmg wrote:What does an 8002 run from the CMP?

Re: Anschutz 8002
Thanks! I definitely do not mind a bargain used one. Hopefully, I can find a couple of them...Bob259 wrote:$2,295 at Champions and the 8001's at the CMP $1,475-$1,675 depending on which one you get.

Re: Anschutz 8002
Alas guys. CMP does not offer the 8002 anymore. I got mine a while ago. Now they offer the 8001 which looks pretty good too.
