Bill sorry to change subject on you but saw a question you asked elsewhere. Pa has amazon shipping as the lowest cost option, if you do not specify a different shipper they use amazon. I made that mistake once and it took over a week to get a package that a week before with usps took 2 days. Mark

Thanks for that info.. I didn't realize that Amazon was an option that could be changed... I'm was just used to placing the order and paying the shipping so I didn't look at the options. I will next time.

Traded AOA for a Brocock Sniper HR Magnum 22, and it arrived today. I have a standard HR 22, but never had a magnum. It came tuned pretty hot at 40 fpe, shooting 18.1gr pellets @ 985 fps, with an extreme spread of 5 fps! Whoa, those poly barrels shoot gooooood!
Reg was set @ 150 bar, and hammer turned up about 2 full turns in from flush. So, I cut the reg to 100 bar, and backed the hammer out to flush, and it shot 15 shots with no shots in between tuning, at 850 fps with an es of 5.4 fps.
These gun are just awesome! It is cold as all get out today, and wind gusting to 24 mph according to the weather. I shot two less than 5/8" groups at 30 m in a stiff, gusty wind. I never pick up a Brocock that it doesn't bring a smile to my face.

Plinked some when I got home from work with the PP750. When it got dark I was waiting.. Rat is with a stock Notos.
I hope an possum takes it away tonight

Nothing exiting for me other than its not snowing for the moment. Went and dug a couple targets out of the snow in the back yard so I can get back to shooting. I am ready for some warmer weather soon I hope.

Took a group of 3 hunting iguanas, weather wasn't optimal and we've been doing a good amount of hunting in this location recently so we only managed to find 16 of them, but we got a 5.5 footer, 10 were 3.5'-4.8' 4 under 3'.
Tuned the Vulcan 3 .30 to shoot hybrids at 921 for 4 consecutive shots, by rasing the reg to 160 and flipping the plenum tube. Sighted in my buddies p35 .25 with jsb 25gr for the hunt, as well as the zelos .22 with hn hp2 25gr slugs and my akela .177 with 15gr VK.

Yessir, although I am now incredibly impatiently waiting for my u2 .177 as it should arrived yesterday, then today, and it has yet to leave customs in Apeldoorn. Did I mention it left the facility, made it to Germany and then went back to the facility? Yeah I have no clue what's going onWait, V3? I though U2?!

Oh man that sucks!! Mine was here super fast… ah well, waiting with you to see how your valve adjuster looks like, though likely not as impatiently as youYessir, although I am now incredibly impatiently waiting for my u2 .177 as it should arrived yesterday, then today, and it has yet to leave customs in Apeldoorn.

what I am waiting for more impatiently is 1. the freaking snow/ice to melt away and 2. wind to maybe stop being 15mph with 30 or higher gusts every single day… been like this for a week now and doesn’t seem to get better. Sucks.Upvote 0
Wow, that blows! I am also currently waiting on some griffin 20gr and 23gr slugs, hopefully they shoot well enough to somewhat counter winds of 20mph (wishful thinking).Oh man that sucks!!

I wouldn't be so impatient if they simply said "hey you're rifle will be there in 12-14days) but the changing of days and then "we'll let you the date when we figure it out" is what's getting to me lol.
Yeah, we'll see how it differs.

That's what I'm hoping for!Woah, that’s heavy tiny grenades! Fingers crossed that they shoot out of it

Finally decided to put my AA S500XS carbine back into its GRS stock. Remounting my Athlon Heras 6-24x56 SFP.
Sightron S-Tac shown
Scopewerks made a nice hybrid 6” mag wheel for it.
