I am sorry, I do not understand your reference to the S&W 59. Do you like it or not?
After making the Model 39 and the Model 52, both .35 caliber semiautomatics with good ergometrics, the Model 59 was kind of a blocky club. Grip diameter and grip angle are both bad; the thing just does not move and point. Sure, it will feed just about anything, which was a problem with other 9mm at the time. But it does not work well for me for modern pistolcraft.

I recently got into smallbore rifle shooting. Anyone else here do it?
I did smallbore for years. A lot of fun and challenging. What rifle are you starting out on?

Nice! I've shot several revlovers (.22, .44, .357) and I just can't talk myself into liking them. I think it has to do with the ergos of the grips or something.
I'm ordering my Sig 556 today and will probably order my Springer 1911 in a few weeks. Although the Sig has a lot of @ss I know I could sell it for almost no loss if I did not like it. I think it would be more fun to have and then take my time building my AR. I'll snag a nice LMT lower and piece the rest together at my own pace. Now the shop begins for a good ACOG

Just been doing it through a club at school so I don't have my own rifle. But they have Anschutz rifles. I think the 1803 model but I am not sure.

That is not in production any more and I have not had any experience with them. However, a quick look at a copy of the manual suggests that they are pretty good for a club rifle. I started out on a Remington, think it was a 513T and moved onto a Walther KK Match. My brother had a Anschutz 1907, great position rifle but it seemed light for outdoor prone.

Yea the Anschutz we have aren't on the website anymore. They bought the rifles awhile ago. They are nice if a tad bit heavy. I have only used them for indoor prone. I am not any good yet though. I am only shooting in the high 70's to low 80's. The problem is I just started doing it with a club at a school I am doing a year-abroad with in England and there is no club that I know of when I get back to the US/I don't have a rifle and I am not in a situation to have one right now considering I am going to be in Massachusetts for another year of school and then not positive where I will be after I graduate.

For the most part, heavy is good (provided that the extra weight is put to good use like a heavier barrel). You're not supposed to be supporting the rifle to any large degree with your muscles. Let the sling and bone structure hold the weight. For prone, try shortening your sling for a higher position. It's not as desirable because it is less stable, but it will put more of the force of the rifle down through the bones as opposed to needing to be held up by the sling and muscles. Hopefully you've got a good coach at the club that can help you with position work and equipment.
