Looking into Biathlon and trying to find a Rifle.

[skrypnyk]

Hi guys, I am getting into Biathlon and am having a hell of a time finding a used rifle in Canada.

They have to meet these requirements;

The rifle must meet the following requirements to be suitable for most races:

Must be a .22 calibre bolt action rifle
It must have iron sights (no optical sights allowed)
It must have a five round magazine
The total weight of the rifle must not be less than 3.5 kg.
The trigger pull must not be less than 500 g.

Not sure where to look, if someone can find out where I could get something in Canada and used, that would be awesome.

Thank Maynard, I ended up ordering some accessories from Target Shooting link above, and I got on the wait list with Interammo and their Izmash rifle.

The rifle must have a pep sight not just iron sites of your going to compete the trigger must be heavier then 500grams. Ill see where our club bought our bunch of guns I'm pretty sure you can get a decent biathlon rifle ready to go from mil arm in edmonton.

Anschutz is going to be your best rifle of choice iszmash is alright but no where near as good as Anschutz

x2 on looking for a used one but i'm looking for a left handed one cause I got tired of reaching over the top of the rifle to access the bolt, lol.

Talk to Harvey at airgunsplus.ca. I bought my walther gsp expert 22/32 from him. he supplies lots of Anschutz, Walther, Pardini, Morini, Styr exc.

There are two used rifles that I think might fit your needs at Target Sports in Gormley. I saw them there on Sunday May 6th when I was there for their Glock Day. Give them a call and ask for Paul. Good luck!
