Update for the Air Stripper:

I got to zero again after replacing the air stripper. The POI changed but 1/2in to left and 1/2in low. I adjusted the elevation with the sports match rings and then proceed it to get it zeroed. I had set the spacing of the tripper to 4.5x1.7 per Dougs (PakProtector) advise. That was right on. I can't say it is exactly that distance but close enough. I tried different spacing and groups opened up some but not significantly.

The gun is a little bit louder.

here are some groups from 40 yards. I picked the best ones. There was some wind about 5 mph on and off. I ran the all of the them through the crony and I was shotting a little slow for my clicking. I adjusted it to 795 average with a high of 799 and low of 783 thought about 60 shots I took.

6 shots. the one of the top left was the first shot. completely my fault. Or better, I blame the mosquitos around my head

5 more shots.

This are 3 groups of 5 shots each..All consecutive shots

I'm finally all set. I have checked my scope tape and click tape and they are right on from 10-40 yards. I need to go somewhere where I can shoot farther. I'm limited at my house.

I did get a bum bag and filled it with poly pellets (bean bag filler). I got it from walmart last night. I gives a more stable sitting platform than regular outdoor pillows which is what I was using before. I got the bareto size.

I got the bum bag from a company in Spain. Great quality and they can customize it for each person. I kept it simple.

How long did it take to get the air stripper from England?
Very nice gear for FT shooting!

It took little over a week.

Hey Robert good to see you back at it.Do any hog hunting lately? [color]

Looks awesome. I wish I had the cash for a really nice scope. :-) Have you notice any accuracy difference with the air stripper on the gun?

Rdsail · « **Reply #48 on:** July 03, 2014, 03:55:47 PM »

The accuracy is better. The gun was extremely accurate from the begging. All you can see is the groups getting a little tighter. you can see how groups open up when I adjust the stripper.

Finally had the time to take nice pictures of the gun.

Looks really nice Dan. I like that little bi-pod on it.

Nice images!

These rifles seem to be on the list of great kept secrets. You don't see much about them as far as posts go. YouTube doesn't have much either. However, imo they are very very nice for the price point and accurate as can be. Lately, I have been shooting flies with mine.

Rdsail · « **Reply #52 on:** July 05, 2014, 07:16:30 AM »

I completely agree with with. I actually wish I could find more information on them. This is the first gun I did not completely take apart and tuned it. the only thing I took apart was the trigger. I polished it and modded the weight spring some but that was it.

The AA MPR is a wonderful rifle -- simple and very accurate. I bought mine from Bori at Top Gun when they first come out, which was in 10m configuration. As Bori advised me, I modded mine from 6 fpe to 13-14fpe by simply shimming the hammer spring and opening up the strangle screw. The differences between the 10m and FT versions seem to be the larger air reservoir and a stronger hammer spring.

I'm getting numbers very similar to yours, except for 60-70 shots rather than 100+.

These rifles continue to show up at BR competitions and place well.

I like the Mueller 8-32x 44 scope. I decided to buy one as well but with the mil-dot crosshairs. It was very reasonable price.

Rdsail · « **Reply #55 on:** July 18, 2014, 02:14:45 PM »

Just wondering about your assessment of the mil dot reticle and if you would like to compare it to other reticles. I have hard that they are on the thick side

I took a low resolution photo of the Mueller mil-dot crosshairs on 32x at a monument 1.2 miles away. I think the mil-dots are ok.
I prefer mil-dots for range estimation and hold off for wind.

I was not too happy with the looks of the hamster I built so I made another one to match the gun better and also added a concave are on the bottom to have better contact with my knee.

thercman · « **Reply #58 on:** July 20, 2014, 03:54:11 PM »

That color is pretty close... What specific stain did you use on it?

Rdsail · « **Reply #59 on:** July 20, 2014, 06:25:20 PM »

I used minwax wood finish red mohogany 225. I did 7 coats of satin wipe on poly
