While getting my .25 Mrod set up and building my son an HPA bottled 2240 for Christmas I was also working on getting my wife into enjoying airguns as well. On small problem she is tiny, all of 4'9" and 95lbs. So most of the air rifles that she was interested in would be to long or heavy for to handle easily, thus I decided the Disco would be a great ag to start with for her. I originally bought the first 1 in .22 so she could go hunting with me and then ended up coming across a deal to good to pass so I got another in .177, I have now cut down and reinforced the stock to fit her hands better and hydro dipped it as well as switching the .22 barrel with the .177. Why, well the .177 was a 3k fill disco that Norm had built and had better power adjustment for the .22 that I didn't have to do the work too. I also outfitted it with a Tasco 6-24x44 AO Varmint scope and it is now shooting the Predator Polymags phenomenally. I haven't had light to get a full crony but the few shots I did get were in the 820fps range and the five shots at 25 yards were slightly over 1/4". This is how she's looking now and probably a few more small touch ups around the edges.

Since the stock mod is hard to see here's a few more pics so you can see how I changed the shape

It's looks really good CJ! And that scope looks really good on it.
About how many shots do you expect that you will get out of it?
The hydro dip is a nice choice. I would be afraid to drop it or scratch it!
Keep us posted on performance when you get the chance.

I'm looking to at least get 20 good shots, we'll see as soon as I find time and/or light
