IBU Biathlon rifle

IBU Biathalon is on at the moment, two things impress me, just how fit the women are (Bloke thing) and the straight pull rifles they use.

Does anyone know what they are? (The rifles!)

Not specifically, but no surprises here http://jga.anschuetz-sport.com/index.ph ... how=detail

As you say, no surprises. I have a feeling the Russians make one as well.

Very cool - they're .22 rimfire.

I believe they are probably Anschutz Biathalon rifles, 5 shot mag fed .22 rf

Not many years ago there was marketed under the name.... Baikal.

Found it Baikal/Izhmash, they refer to it as a toggle action, this is one 'scoped.

These are a very quick action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVjA63IxC80 I have seen a few on a US .22 forum I can get a link up if you want it . If I could get one over here I would have it .

The toggle actions are very slick, yes a link would be handy please, I am sure they must be over here and they are certainly available in DK, I will have a look in Korsholm next time we are over.

Not Biathlon but I just think the look of this stock has it all , I am planning at having a go at making one for a .22 B/A .
