Okay gang, I will currently resist the temptation to tell my whole story and crazy ride that was my original TX200 adventure. But so I say that my Hw77 HFT Death Star project will be on hold for awhile while I gather funds and start practicing in earnest for piston HFT competition this year. My first go at it and I know my UK gal is up to the task. However the main point of this thread is to show off my new baby and yeah I'm making the call right now; I did in fact win the walnut stock lottery this time folks! Wow, she is just stunning and I can NOT for the life of me get a good pic of the "tiger stripes" in the grain are just so 3D they literally appear to stand out from the wood its self. Crazy as I had no idea good wood did this, well yes I did but on really nice antique furniture not rifle stocks that are not custom built. Just wow...
Mounting my big Hawke in a few minuets and I will post groups when I figure if she is pellet fussy, prolly not. VERY excited and I just can not get over this Turkish walnut this time. My last TX was awesome of course but not like this one...Im in tears...
closeup without flash
closeup with flash
other side, just wow...
Let me know what you all think. More gun porn to follow...

here are the sexy oiled gun porn as promised...
no flash but a tad blurry...you can see the stripes well though.
with flash so you loose a touch of detail but see the slightly darker and shine look post 5, and counting, coats of oil...
So far I still can not for the life of me get any JSB at any weight to group as well as the H&N for some reason. Maybe my hold prefers German pellets or something. Strange...groups and chrony numbers tomorrow! :-)

Using a quote from the phenomenal movie Tombstone,
"I ain't got the words, Wyatt."
Those tiger stripes are absolutely stunning.

Okay folks, a day late but as promised here are the chrony numbers after over 200+ pellets through her. Very much calmer now and I can still smell a touch of dieseling perhaps and my rings are still moving south 2mm every 30 shots or so. Funny as it only moves the POI about 10mm to the right at most during the slipping. I may have to go back to a stop pin mount like the less pricey Leapers set. Going to have to order pellets soon anyway so I may try those as well.
Jury still out on the best pellet but the H&N Baracuda Match still group a touch tighter at 25 yards as you can see with these pics I just took. I will stretch out to 50 yards after this mount either stops slipping or I get a stop pin equipped set of rings. You can see the "Tiger Stripes" a tad better after 10 coats of oil and counting. Chrony numbers shooting 10.65 grain Baracudas:
1 = 815 fps
2 = 811 fps
3 = 809 fps
4 = 810 fps
5 = 815 fps
6 = 809 fps
7 = 812 fps
8 = 808 fps
9 = 805 fps
10 = 815 fps
High = 815 fps
Low = 805 fps
Ave = 810 fps
ES = 10 fps
SD = 3 fps :-)
