Basic biathalon

[41mag]

A local gun shop has these for $289 It's ugly but it has an Izhmash action and a good trigger right out of the box. Has anyone had any experiance with these?

I don't personly have one yet but I will.

I saw a target shot with one at 75 yards with Wolf MT.

He put 5 rounds in a group about the size of a dime and this guy is not known for his shooting skill.

In my opinion these are very high quality rifles.

Do a search for "Izhmash Biathlon Basic" for information on these. The only thing I can add to that is that mine shoots even better now than it did when new. It averages under .500" with Wolf MT & ME and Federal Lightning & Federal Classic. It is also ergonomically correct and hangs very nicely in offhand shooting. As for the ugly part, beauty is as beauty does. I think mine is quite handsome. And if you're into this sort of thing, it draws a lot of attention at the range due to it's distinctive appearance and being as nobody around here has ever seen one before.
