I'm impressed with the HM1000x and I thought that I'd share my detailed inspection notes with those who might be curious about this PCP.
This is a follow up to my first post: HM1000x first impressions. During my first handling of a gun I check it over for damage, that all hardware is secure, and do a quick cleaning to ensure that the barrel is clear.
What follows here are my notes and thoughts on the .22 caliber HM1000x with the tactical stock after the initial excitement has passed and I've had a chance to look it over more closely.
Main use :
primarily as a 100 to 128 yard bench rifle (my backyard range is 128 yards)
some pesting and squirrel hunting
BASE LINE of the PCP as received :
10 shot string (25.34 JSB Monster Redesigned) L 951, H 958, A 955, FPE 51.5
Trigger :
match grade 2-stage, adjustable
4.5 ounce average pull
crisp, very consistent
Overall weight :
9 pounds 12 oz (loaded 12-shot mag, 26 oz scope Helix 6-24x50, 6 oz rings)
Fill :
250 bar (Foster fitting ), haven't determined the reg set point yet.
480cc reservoir (50-60 shots?)
Ergonomics :
balance is good (without a moderator)
weight is reasonable/appropriate, feels right; comfortable to hold
LOP is 13.25 at max, may be a bit short for off-hand but adding a spacer would be easy - will have to see how it is on the bench.
Form, fit and function :
all good and smooth.
Borescope inspection :
crown and transfer port are well machined, no burrs
barrel and rifling looks good.
Tuning :
hammer spring is externally adjustable
regulator access requires disassembly
Magazine :
Disco style of magazine
12 shot
well made, good fit
fed pellets accurately and smoothly
So now it's a wait until spring for breaking in and pellet/slug evaluation. I'll probably post the results of my 40 yard testing in April/May.
Cheers!
