@cavedweller I realized this morning that I had accidentally posted interest in EFT when in actuality I was looking to use this in HFT, so I will be limited to 20fpe.

FX Best FX Ever Made...According to MongooseV8

Well, your post made me order from Mundilar anyway… They only have compact or sniper U3s but not the 600mm I want sooo I basically copied you and ordered a laminate wildcat to give them a try and then buy with confidence (or not) once they have the 600mm U3. Or whatever excuse I made up in my head…

.22! And just realized that o don’t have any more CF sleeves… yet another order, but not worth to pay shipping for only a CF sleeve, right?! So let’s think what else I might “need”. Not going to push the wildcat though, will be a 50y and less quiet backyard pester and shoot pellets, probably going to set it up for hades and 18gr, maybe 22gr max, so 30-40fpe.

Ah and a question for you. Could you pay their USD prices directly? Like, I selected USD and got prices and all but it turned to EUR during checkout… I still have a EUR bank account from a different life that isn’t doing me any good anyway other than during vacation so I eventually used that one but still, what’s the point of being quoted USD prices when I have to pay in EUR anyway… or did I miss something?

I dont know how the currency exchange worked as I used paypal to pay, I think they take care of all that. But my email receipt is also in EUR if that helps. My last Wildcat was a 22Cal for a long time and I really enjoyed it. It had a plenum upgrade and Huma transfer-port and probe as well, but had no problem pushing Hades to 1000fps.

Sounds good! I’m going to give it a couple of 100 pellets or so bone stock except for the CF sleeve first, hopefully not going to need any power upgrades based on what I want it to do. Plenty of other guns incl. .22s I can push close to 60fpe. Incl. my M4 with the .22 barrel I got from you, really nice barrel btw. Shoots AEA 22 and 25gr accurate as hell anfter deep clean and wax. Also really loves HN 30gr. Half inch groups at 70yards with all 3 if wind is below 5mph. Can’t shoot further out from my basement window and it’s too cold to shoot outside so don’t know yet how it’ll do at 100 but shows real promise!

Oh yeah I was using my 500mm barrel which now lives on my Impact, a longer barrel will be way easier to get good fps. Glad to hear the 700mm is treating you well.

I just picked up a used Wildcat MK3 BT VP in .30. It is very nice. I haven't gotten the chance to take it out yet but I am excited to!

@MongooseV8 all your fault, but now I’m in love… got mine today after UPS was messing around for almost 2 weeks… Anyway, holy poop is this a thing of beauty! Cleaned the barrel, made sure everything is tight and slapped a scope on it. Didn’t want to mess with it and let it settle but shot hades at 711 and 18gr at 670 out of the box (at 110b reg - hammer spring was Almost completely screwed in…). Anyway, reg to 120b and hammer adjuster to 5.5mm, off we go. Hades at 905fps with ES 8 and SD 1.6 over 36 shots on 6, AEA 18gr 890fps and ES 7 / SD 1.4. Mind you this thing has less than 100peets through it. Getting 40ish shots out of a fill and apparently I won the liner lottery, rugged hole at 70y with both the hades and 18gr multiple 5 shot groups in a row in a light breeze (70y is the absolute max I can do out of the basement window if I move the table back to the wall). Really glad they didn’t have a 600mm U3 when I checked, rarely have I been this blown away by a new gun… long story short: thanks for the inspiration! Jez look at these 11 shots:

Where are the pics of that stock? Glad everything worked out for you, I know how nerve racking it is to have a missing package worth so much money.
