Put over 100 pellets through the sniper today. Don't miss the thumbhole stock at all. Oddly, The trigger on this one is not bad right out of the box. It's shooting pretty smooth with no twang. I didn't use any tar or grease on the spring to dampen it. Just very very little moly. I wanted it as close to stock as possible and it was pretty dry. I did de-bur the chamber so I would not cut up the seal and smoothed out the ends of the springs and dabbed some moly on. It's shooting cphp's from 920's to the 930's, seen a few low 940's. I don't think this gun likes the JSB's. For some reason the JSB exact jumbo 15.9's only shoot around 820 fps. Thought it was just the heavier pellet, but the JSB Exact RS 13.43's only shoot 870ish. The H&N Diabolo Sport 13.73 grains and the Meisterkugeln 14 grains shoot in the 950's. Maybe it is the 5.52 head size on the JSB's.Hopefully no rain tomorrow and I can get some pics and shoot a few targets. Still trying to figure out how to get the Bug Buster a little closer to to my so I can use it and cut down on some weight.

Glad to here your all back together with that sniper you mean your spring was lightly oiled?

Went ahead and mounted it. My be uncomfortable in some postions. They make on with a more offset. Might go that route if I keep the Bug Buster on the 125.
I went with the 11mm cause the slots for the picinary mount move the scope mount another inch or so forward which might be ok for a full size scope.

Got to shoot a little this weekend. Was really windy on Saturday. My 8 year old grandson was over for the day, so we just went shooting. Gave me a chance to see if I could get my eye close enough to use the Bug Buster scope and get it sighted in. Had a blast watching that little devil shoot. He's a lot better than I though he would considering he don't get to shoot but once or so a month with his dad. Of all days to run off and leave my camera phone. I took a Crossman 1077 and an old Daisy 160 break barrel for him to shoot. Figured he would really like the 1077 with a 10 shot clip but he went back to the old Daisy after 1 clip. Set up a can about 10 yards out and in no time he was nailing it almost every shot while I got the Bug Buster sighted in at 20 yards. Really liking the 125 Sniper. Can't believe how much lighter the trigger pull is from the last one without any adjustment. Don't see a need to change it at all. Might do a full review in the review section so I'll just post this Pic for now. [/quot Thats it Iam sending the black one that was sent to me by Joao of American arms back, I ordered a sniper in camo was promised a sniper in camo and the more i look at the 125 sniper in camo ,that's what i want, not black not a thumb stock not a this or a that Jao I will be calling you Monday my friend for a return postage on the 125 sniper in black you sent me, instead of the camo.22

Lol if I didn't get what I ordered I would be disappointed too...I was thinking I would try my hand at spraying the rifle making it a camo, whitefang"" lol sent me pictures on his camo rifle he painted and man it looked so cool. then I started thinking about when I go to sell it down the road some one may not want a hand painted camo.. then I just saw another camo sniper one to many and couldn't take it any more, lol
