The .22 cal Ultra came in a few days ago…Cleaned the barrel, lubed the pistons, adjusted the trigger, and then ran the chrony:1 pump 266 fps 2.5 fpe2 378 5.03 445 7.04 495 8.6The above was using jsb 15.89gr at 7000’ elev. … not too bad with the 10.2” barrel.However, these things look like a blank canvas to me… so I went to work on the upper..Two additional picatinny slots were cut to mount the scope and then a test mount to check the fit.The rear scope ring will be used as a cocking/pumping handle. It’s robust enough and makes the pumping easier.The shroud is from ¾” delrin tube stock…it needed a clean-up turn and then drilled to .484”The barrel is a 13.5” cut from an LW blank… it has a close fit to the shroud, which will get a setscrew later…Lots of fun - Wyo
Okay I am going to try out this config. I can get my hand between the scope and rear sight area for better leverage when I pump the heavier (#3 & #4) strokes.It is 102°F out right now but whenever it cools off I will shoot a group or two. The scope is a 4-12x.

The scope is a 4-12x.Wow!That is a whole lot of cantilever on one single scope ring.Granted, these are not magnum guns, but still I would anticipate a bunch of scope issues down the road.Not trying to dissuade you or bust your bubble, but let us know how that assembly actually works out.
