I’ve decided to finally buy an Anschutz, so I’m selling my Izhmash biathlon rifle. I built this rifle 2 years ago with all new parts. The rifle itself was unused. It is a fully race-ready rifle in great condition. Included are the following: -Izhmash 7-2 rifle, right-handed -Lost Nation stock, very adjustable, tools and extra rounds holder included. -Larsen Biathlon front and rear sites, built in Norway. -Biatar harness, made in Ukraine -Altius sling -5 magazines -Madshus rifle bag
This rifle has been well maintained; bore cleaned every 100-150 rounds and completely disassemble and cleaned 4-5 times a year. The Izhmash is a very easy rifle to take apart and clean.
Because of the versatility of the Lost Nation stock fit both young and older biathletes. $2800 obo,
Can pick up in Madison, Wi or will ship to an FFL dealer at buyers expense. If you have questions email me @ jrhamrl2003@yahoo.com or text/phone at 608-443-7219
We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming races in Elk River! If you are able to lend a hand on one of these days, please sign up on the appropriate volunteer sheet. If you are unable to edit the document, please email me and I will make the addition for you. Thank you very much!

Conditions are good at Blackhawk considering there is no natural snow in southern WI. Our Snow makers did a great job getting the course and range ready. We will have a 1.0 and 1.3K loop for the races. The entire course has 1′ to 3′ of snow base and will ski fast. Race day temps are expected to be in the mid 20’s to upper 30’s degrees.
Registration closes on Wednesday evening 1/11/23 at midnight. Looking forward to seeing a good turnout. Please plan to help with races as we need volunteers to make the races a success. Currently we have over 40 racers registered for each day.
For those not attending the Blackhawk events, on Sunday the 15th, the MN Guard will be hosting an event at Camp Ripley. If you wish to attend, please contact me, Bill Meyer, directly by noon tomorrow- [Thursday]!!
I have 8 civilians registered and the Guard is expecting 8-10.
Mass Start
Women 7.5km
Men 10 km
9:30 meeting at F Range [need to stop at the gate on the way onto the base, then need to stop at Range control and sign out a pass—then watch your speed on the way to F Range!!]

In addition the range/trails will be open from 1:00-3:00 for open training after the race. Bring your own lunch!!
