Title: Gene_SC is a bad person!
Post by: Booger on May 31, 2014, 03:00:00 PM
I can not believe what Gene did to me. My Tomahawk came in today. He must have spent an hour packing it because it took me 15 minutes to unpack it. She is beautiful, so I put my 4-16X56 UTG scope on her. Took a few minutes to zero her in. The my son came to the back porch and asked to shoot her. The trigger is match grade in my opinion. Then my son offered his .22 MROD for her. I told him no, and he told me that I was not going to be able to shoot her much because it would be in his hands. Gene was right that I would not be disappointed with the gun, now I am only disappointed with my son because he will not give me my gun back. Here are some numbers for your enjoyment. Only a 9 shot spread as I was having problems with my chrony. :(

I forgot to mention he got the first kill with her. A big black grackle, died of lead poisoning threw the fuze box.

Yes, Gene is BAD.  This is the second gun you bought with a SD that can be expressed with one hand.  I said one hand not one finger :)  BAD !@@ for sure!

The 3rd gun is a CZ 631 :) I am waiting on the correct pellets for it. This one was not tuned by Gene, but I will find a tuner for it. :)

Gene will never be as bad as the gun grubbing mutant that you are... I think to settle the argument, you and your son should send both guns to me.  LOL

Enjoy them Jesse.

Jesse,
First, that's a beautiful rifle!  Everything about it just flows.
I'm curious about your chrono results.  What weight pellets were used?  And is the number following the fps the fpe?
Finally, what chrono are you using?
Thanks, and congratulations on such a fine aquisition.

 ;D Jesse, Gene is not the bad person you definitely are though. I thought that you were done with springers now you start with a whole new stable. What happened to all that PCP enthusiasm huh ? ? ?

I am still doing the PCP thing. I just bought a Disco. With just a little cleaning, a homemade barrel band, she shoots dime size groups at 30 yards with CPHP.

What are you doing for rings?  The T comes without a stop pin hole.  I haven't tried the trick of pre tightening BKLs yet, but I might have to.  Previously they slid off a HW35 and the T does nearly twice the foot pounds.

If I remember correctly it does have a stop pin hole. I would not need them because she is not a powerful rifle, and has almost no recoil at all. I can say she is very fun to shoot, and the trigger is very light.

Being from a tuner, it may have been drilled for one.  Mine in 22 is close to 19FPE and considering the lightweight, gentle isn't how I'd describe mine.

I've yet to shoot it at all since I haven't bought the rings as of yet.  Kind of thinking about the one piece sportsmatch but they're like $70.  Was hoping for a decent alternative but I haven't found it as of yet.
