New Flex owner

[GSu]

My .30 Flex was delivered today!  What can I say, it's has lived up to all my expectations and more!  Feels great in my hands!
 Travis recommended a Hawk Sidewinder 6.5X-20X 42mm scope which was right on. I got a single shot tray and 1 magazine. 
 No place to really shoot here at home but I had to shoot it!  Not loud in a closed garage shooting 10 yards to test!  Yes the rubber mulch trap stopped the pellets.  Maybe I can get out and be able to shoot 50 yards this weekend.

Thanks Travis for a great airgun!

What's the shot count , how many clips. The numbers look pretty good

[GSu]

It was three magazines, 21 shots per fill.

 I finally got to shoot out to 50 yards. First shot hit the metal plate a little low.  After a adjusting the scope I managed a 1/2" group.
 Refilled and we wanted to see how the Flex fared against a 7" diameter coconut.  Because of the location of the coconuts on the tree we couldn't get a angle for a safe shot so we had to shoot up at a steep angle.  The Poly Mag split the coconut practically in half!  The JSB pellet didn't split the coconut in half but the coconut blew open also.  Not much of test for performance as we were literally point blank shooting @ 15 yards max.  But it sure was fun!
  Yes I forgot to take a few pictures, too much fun shooting the Flex.
 Spent the few hours shooting metal spinners, 3" & 4" gongs, empty CO2 cartridges.  The Flex lived up to being very accurate!  Even for this slightly shaky shooter.

 Glen have you stretched Her out yet past 50?

[GSu]

No I haven't gone past 50.  But did this to an empty propane bottle hung @ 50 yards.  We were impressed to say the least.


This is the rear of the bottle.  The big dent is from my partners dad shooting his Hatsan .35

Congrats and welcome to the family. The Flex is of the best modular platforms out. I love the simplicity and ease of tuning.

Shooting a coconut with your flex would make a great video.

[GSu]

Tater, I never thought of trying to shoot a video of busting coconuts.  Hopefully the next time if I remember to take photo's or a video.

[oldpro]

 Id imagine a coconut would be similar in density as a skull! Might make for good testing.

[Nomadic Pirate]

I used to test on coconuts back in the day.

A brown Coconut will be a bit harder than a green one.
