MM waved his magic wand again. This is my first under lever and Mike detuned it to around 12fpe using a "medium" spring. It has minimal kick and vibration. I only had time to put a few shots down a 10yrd hallway but it's promising. It's a great looking gun!
I shot JSB 8.44 - according to Mike's test these do around 830fps. 5 shots touching!
It's tricky loading a pellet with such a long CP scope (and it's my first under lever) so I may put a compact scope on it. This could be my FT/small pest gun if the accuracy stays consistent.
Thanks Mike!!

Looking good, should be a nice rifle. Thinking about getting one in the future, no chance of getting a Mike M tuned one here though.

Good looking rifle Jack. How does it balance? I dont know anything about them but based on my quick search the only negatives I saw were reports on the weight. Let us know how it does as you stretch it out and get some shooting at a little more distance.

Robert - a quick call to Mike will determine if he can tune it to legal fps there. Not sure about shipping though.
Leland - it is a heavy rifle for sure. I was balancing it on an open palm on a couch cushion. Offhand would have to be quick I guess, before one started wavering with fatigue?. The trigger is superb! I asked him to make it as light as legally possible but we didn't confirm that. But whatever he did or didn't do to the trigger, it is light enough so as not to affect my POA but there's enough take up (NO grittiness) for peace of mind. The only other gun I own with a trigger as good is my p-rod. Again, IMHO, very little kick or twang and fairly quiet.
Mike mentioned several times about the weight and I think he might have even been nudging me to a sub 7 pound break barrel he had. Great guy - looks out for the customer! I don't think I'd tramp through the woods too far with the 46, even with a sling. But I am very happy with my choice. It would, for me, be a great FT gun or for hunting in a blind.
It may be some time before I can really test it or hunt with it due to work demands and weather, but I'll report my experiences when I break free.

Yeah Jack, shipping up here is always a problem. I can get the rifle here but would have to tune it myself and hope for the best.
