Snowpeak Snowpeak M60B first impression

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Just got my .22 today (second hand) I switched to a different (B5) grip to suit my liking.

Seems like a quality unit at msrp. Magazine seems to be good as well. Put a quick 100rd thru, mag had 0 issue. Thats nice. 20rd cap is great!

Dont feel the mag at all while shooting.

Very quiet with a homebrew 3D moderator, super happy. Does have the "sproingy" noise tho as discussed.

Previous owner said the JSB redesigns shot best...got some on the way to try. Contemplating a day/night scope for it.

Nothing scientific but I like it so far, as a step up from the Notos. For stationary tripod squirrel hunting, from a blind.

Notos wont be going anywhere for a woods walker, its perfect for that. Looking forward to everyone's opinions and mods on the M60.

Im interested in:
What bipod suits this best, maybe using one those fancy rail extenders
Figuring out some sling mounts.
Maybe some cheek pad



Unrealistic wish list includes:
Cocking handle on other side
Gauge on other side
Safety on other side, with standard milspec thumb action...would be awesome.

That said, I think this is a winner for the price.

That looks good! The handle has a nice color to this combo. Please update which pellet gives the best group. The CF bottle is a very nice upgrade.

Ill look at mine but I bet a gauge on the other side is just a matter of drilling and tapping a hole and bottoming it square for the flat seal.

Let me know what you figure out on the gauge!

On the bipod rail, I was thinking this: https://sabertacticalinc.com/produc...tinny-rail-st0032?_pos=1&_sid=558e899d0&_ss=r - Would be slick for tripod use as well.

Im realizing, the M60 only has 2 pic slots instead of 3 like the FX. ...so that may matter for fitment of the ST rail?

For $13 I may get this and cut one of the clamps off....just to play for now.

that's a nice rail. It will work with cutting the front clamp off. You might need to add a piece of wood or rubber to fill the gap between the rail and the bottle. Too bad I can't order that one as no shipping to my location.

I worked on my M60 this weekend, mostly replacing o-rings that are wear items. Such as the bottle QD stem (006), the one way foster fitting and the forward gauge o-ring.

I had a tough time getting the locking nut off of the regulator stem and once I did remove it, I decided to leave it off the stem since it's well protected between the bottle and barrel.

I adjusted the reg to 150 bar and was sizzling at 1000fps with JTS 18.1gr pellets.

NSA slugs shot ok but need tuning and more speed, perhaps I'll try 160 bar.
