Fathersday score!

[blueduck]

My beautiful trophy wife, HHOGC, hot housewife of galveston county gave me a XS-B51 .22 for fathersday, but wouldnt pull the trigger because she didnt know where to order it from. I think that is awesome. A aa tx200 would floor me but I wont even drop that much cash. Any advice as to where to buy it? I will be ordering tomorow. After 19 years of marriage she finally figured out how to buy me something I actually sit around thinking about. My son mustve told her about that rifle. theres no way she picked up on it by reading my mind. she only reads my mind when I'm thinking about..... Anyway, i keep hearing about a guy named Mike and the b51?

I just bought my XS28M from Mike at Flying Dragon and would buy there again in a heartbeat.

@  WOOD BOATS.....Beautiful place to live (Woodville area) lots of inlaws in Apple Springs, Lufkin, Longveiw, Huntington ect. No shortage of game for sure. too bad it comes with oppressive Texas heat. But just enough snow so you dont hate it.

There is no sane reason to buy that kind of gun from anyone other than Mike.

Congratulations, David.  You're gonna love it!

Mine still brings a smile to my face after 6 months of shooting most every day the sun is shining.  Oh yeah, and sometimes at night with an LED flashlight pointing at the target.

You have been here alright.  I look forward to the day I can retire and summer someplace cooler.  (who am I kidding?  I will never get to retire  )

Next time you are up this way stop by for some side yard plinking.

Good Luck on the B51

The rifle arrived Monday and tonight I had time to test it out with a scope....TACKDRIVER! the weak link is me. 1/2 inch at 15 yards everytime. Ill stretch it out to respectable yards when I have more time. The rifle is solid works exactly as well and like Mike at Flying Dragon says it would. I got about 70 shots out of a 25k fill. first 50 or sixty were show in 980-1025 fps on crummy chronograph.I only use that chronoconnect app for gettin a general idea of fps/energy. after 70 shots it was winded but still shooting as good as most of my springers. will send pix when I get some. gonna take it to laboratory first though.



THANK YOU MIKE?

Congratulations, David! 

And the best part is, you're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.  If you don't have some tins of JSBs, get some and get ready to wear a stupid smile!  The 13.4gr and 15.9gr give stellar results out to at least 35 yards, but get some 18.1gr for shooting out to 50 yards and beyond.

Do Yall have as much trouble loading a pellet in that little breech as I do? drop 1 out of 3 pellets. And That curve on the trigger blade? I'm afraid to straighten it for fear of breaking it. A little heat or a replacement blade? any advice? However, this thing is a precision punch, surgical. If all of these rifles are like this nobody would buy anything else. Best couple of Benji s Ive ever spent on a gun.

Well, having loaded a thousand pellets into a Daisy 880, the B50 is a breeze.  I just tilt the rifle up to about a 30 degree angle and the pellet falls into the channel beautifully every time.  I wish I could offer you some useful advise but I never had any trouble with it.

For the trigger, yes you can heat it and bend it.  I wouldn't try it cold...at least one person did and it broke.

For loading, I picked up a pellet pen from one of the online vendors. It works GREAT and holds 15 .22 pellets.
