Got a new GravMag today for my 2240

Got a few items from Airgun Parts Shop in the UK today. 

First is a GravMag Compact with left handed bolt configuration.

Also, I wanted to try out the Iron Sight kit.

I'm very happy with the GravMag compact and the slimmer profile on the top of the 2240.

I wanted to like the iron sights, but I feel there is too much slop in the rear sight to keep it accurate. I adjusted it right where I wanted, but it was still a bit low. Went to adjust the elevation and then it's shooting 2" to the left. Nice concept but the execution's not worth the price. I even tried shimming the pivot point with 0.3mm total of shims but didn't help.

I messed around a bit more with no success and just went back to my 1 MOA Trijicon RMR. 

I gotta say I am really pleased with the GravMag though and the 2240 XL. I wasn't a big fan of shooting JSB 15.9 a few months back when I first got the 9S but I am getting 425 fps for 6+ fpe for ~30 solid shots. 

Not many power mods either. Well, I mean the Magnum Airpower trigger group helps keep the shots on target. Only other changes are an Alchemy AirWerks transfer port and Cothran SS single stage hammer. Pretty minimal.
