George,I received an AR2078B from MM about a month ago. I'm 5'10" and 200 pounds plus. I cannot fault the fit of the gun, for a non adjustable stock it is very good. At some point I will add an adjustable comb. Yes, I do like the peep sights. I didn't know an air rifle could be so muck fun.My wife shoot left handed, surprisingly she is shoot well with it. The household completion is on! It's raining here today, so we shot ten yard targets in the shed. We were using 5 yard pistol targets, 3 shots at each bull. We used a folding step ladder as a rest, Lilly shot a148-2X and I shot a 148-3X. We really are enjoying the AR2078B. It has Mike's free included tune and he chronographed it at 540 fps.I say go for it!Bob H.
GeorgeFYI, sights.As best as I can tell, the front sight is a 1-piece unit; the sight tube and the barrel mount. So you cannot raise the front sight higher than it is. The reason that I mention this is that I use riser blocks under my target sights on my FWB match air rifle. The one-piece front sight of the 2078 will prevent me from using riser blocks to raise the sight line.
George,As I recall, I paid nothing extra, so it must have just been a clean, inspection, and test fire. I believe had MM found a problem he would have identified and corrected it. Had it been a springer, I would have had him give it a complete tune at my expense. In fact, I will be dropping a Ruger Air Hawk by his shop in August for a full tune. I, like many here, trust MM's judgement.Bob H.

He's gone up significantly on his prices, and charges extra for tunes now. So instead of $204 for a AR2078B with tune, it's now $235 for a factory gun, $270 for basic tune, $335 for full. Yikes, that's a huge jump. I may have to rethink this. AA still has the same gun for $200, no tune though.
My AR2078B from Mike is one of my favorites.Mine came from mike with His basic service I did not pay extra.This rifle is boringly accurate and consistent.I'm 6'4" so I added a spacer between the stock and butt pad,it helps.My "Grape Ape" hands did not like the hump/groove on the grip for the trigger finger so I sanded it down.The rifle will fit most people as is.A short LOP is easier to deal with than too long. IMHO there is no better deal out there in a target rifle than a AR2078B from Flying Dragon.I bulk fill mine from a 24 oz Co2 tank and get around 55 good shots per fill. http://s84.photobucket.com/user/cajuncj/library/#/user/cajuncj/library/air/AR2078B?sort=3&page=1&_suid=136990578671809999474899177685
