  1. ...but it has the same problem as the 1-4...the eye relief changes rather dramatically as the power is advanced.

    Never noticed this on the 1.1-4 and 1.5-6 FD´s but severely noticed this at the show sample.

    Afaik it was a prototype, available in the states end of year.

    @all: What do You guys think on the Kruger "1 or 2x8" square prototype?

    Not personally feeling the need for anything above 4x but nice to have.

  2. Guys, does anybody know where to get a dot mount or any style rail (=11mm or Weaver/Picatinny) fitting direct to the receiver of Winchester SX3 and Browning Phoenix series shotgun? Top of receiver has 4 nice lugs but neither Browning nor Winchester nor EAW and MAK here in Germany could help. Did not find anything in the forum nor on the net. And I know the magazine is too short for IPSC, want a hunting SG. Thanks. Kraut

  3. ...Evidently it was a CZ-85 Combat II, which looks alot like an SP-01 with cut back dustcover, and no "SP-01" markings of course.

    So Vince was right, it wasn't an SP-01, like the pictures suggest it could be.... it was a CZ-85.... and the pics are correct, that is the gun in question. Just don't call it an SP-01  ;)...

    My very congratulations to the guys at CZUB! I wonder how the CZ85 improved within 20 years an it still call itself just plain "CZ85", really great and really sportsmanlike. I will reconsider the whole story b4 buying guns or ammo next time. kraut

  4. ... If the gun that he shot at the match is the same one that the committe examined and found no problem with, then the matter is closed...

    Should be no problem for the stats guys: just pull out the equipment sheets, checked (gun make + model, may be Serial Nr., at least competitors travelling from abroad passing border police or customs should not have "twins" with them) on every single stage including chrono and initial equipment check and thats it. Even I would notice the difference between a cz85 and sp01. At least I learned for further matches: serious equipment checks, not just sign it, especially for the super suads!

  5. Vince´s statement on global village: http://ipsc.invisionzone.com/index.php?act...st=0#entry19062

    Hi folks,

    In an effort to prevent this forum deteriorating to the "La-La Land" level of other forums, where people without a clue are making wild guesses and accusations, let me state the relevant facts:

    1. The gun Adam Tyc used at WSXIV was a CZ85 Combat, and the shiny portion of the gun on the right-hand side of the frame, specifically the area from under the trigger guard to the grip, was the issue. Hence the image above of the left-hand side of Adam's CZ75 SP01 from another match is useless.

    2. The original "expression of concern" about the gun was made directly to me by a senior member of the IPSC USA delegation on Monday (Day 1 of the match), who said he suspected that the gun had been illegally modified, probably through the use of a dremel tool. I immediately accompanied that person to the range so that we both could discreetly examine the subject gun from a distance, in order not to disturb the competitor. After we both noticed a shiny portion on the right-hand side of his gun, I immediately contacted the Range Master and asked him to investigate.

    3. An Area CRO (an experienced gunsmith) was immediately ordered to take Adam to a nearby Safety Area so that the gun could be closely examined. The Area CRO reported to me and the Range Master that, in his opinion, the gun had not been illegally modified, and I in turn reported these findings back to the person who brought this matter to my attention. As far as I was concerned, we acted promptly and we had conducted due diligence, so the matter was closed.

    4. However on each subsequent day of the match (i.e. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday), the same member of the IPSC USA delegation raised the same issue with me (i.e. 5 more times!), and each time I advised him that the only recourse available now was to file an official protest.

    5. A formal protest was finally submitted to the Range Master by a (Standard Division !!!) competitor at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. The Arbitration Committee, which was comprised of IPSC President Nick Alexakos as Chairman, with IPSC Australia Regional Director Des Lilley, IPSC Ecuador Regional Director Victor Ferrero and myself as members, was convened at 5:00 p.m. at the range.

    6. After interviewing the complainant, we asked Adam Tyc to appear before us with his gun, which we examined very closely. While it was obvious that the right-hand side of the frame had a minor portion which was shiny, we concluded that this was due to wear & tear but, most importantly, the gun had not been illegally modified.

    7. Although we recogised that he had a vested interest in the gun, we then asked a representative of the CZ Factory to examine the gun, and he confirmed that the gun had not been illegally modified.

    8. We then advised the complainant that her appeal was denied, and she graciously thanked us for our efforts. I might also add that at no time did the complainant ask to personally examine the subject gun, which was sitting on a shelf in the Arbitration Room, so I must presume she was satisfied that we had conducted our investigation properly.

    End of story.

  6. +1!

    My opinion on his teammates reaction: When I´ve been in the states first time I wondered how correct and polite everybody was. "Get what You pay for" - no cheating at all. People have different manners pending on the place they live or grew up.

    Imo the problems in PD became serious when competitors where permitted to use guns that where only available to selected/sponsored shooters while not a single sample has had been delivered to distributors.

  7. Think a shoot - thru is something to avoid in real world scenario. One reason why everbody wants hollow points or similar bullet design in LE/civilian(and even some military?) carry gun IS to avoid shoot thru endangering innocent bystander/comrade/hostage. More realistic is a NT behind the target that forces shooter to change position to avoid shoot thru in any case.
