Title: The Man in the Brown Truck Came Today...
Post by: Nico5999 on June 04, 2014, 08:45:35 PM
And he brought me an XS46U with a Full Tune from Mike Melick!!  I have been waiting 8 days for this rifle and am really excited!  I immediately pulled it out of the box and my first impression was the stock.  It has a lot of Chinese Varnish on it, but I actually like the muddy color...I tried to do some shooting with the open sights but I am not a fiber optic guy or an open sight guy for that matter.  The trigger is single stage, very smooth, light (~3lbs) and predictable.  With the open sights I shot a 1/4" group at 10 yards with the H&N FTT 8.65 grains.  That is this rifle's favorite pellet with the RWS superdomes at a close second coming in at about 3/8" at 10 yards.  I have no doubt these groups will tighten as I refine my hold/technique and upgrade the scope I have on there now.

After taking about 40 shots with the open sights, I mounted an Optima 3-9x32 scope that came with my Hatsan 125.  This scope isn't the greatest but right now I am just trying to get a feel for the gun and the scope will be upgraded to an AirForce 4-16x50AO this coming Saturday.

The cocking is very smooth and the shot cycle is even smoother.

Thanks Mike!  You've created one very satisfied customer!

Nico

After getting a lot of bs from my fellow GTA members about not posting pics  ;) I finally whipped out my camera and took some pics of my XS46U from Mike Melick.  Enjoy.

That looks like a nice gun, I like the wood, looks like it will shoot good too. When you get a chance show some shot group pics as well.

Very nice Nico,
Be sure to report back with how it shoots...

 ... (but since Mike has touched it)... We pretty much already know you'll soon be posting a selfie looking like a Chesher Cat !
