You guys are making me seriously consider (again) getting a QB78!

In spite of repeatedly deciding that there is nothing I could do with one that I can't do with my the 22xx/2300/2400 platform, I'm very tempted!

I hope you have the scope and some JSB 18's ready!

I can picture Chris now,
sitting there holding a broomstick,
with his scope mounted to it,

making Pffft, Pffft, Pffft sounds

Hey Chris,
Sweet scope -> you're ready

UCChris · « **Reply #70 on:** April 16, 2015, 02:17:03 PM »

Thanks Kirk! It's a SWFA SS 12x42 MilQuad if anyone is wondering. It's the nicest scope I've ever had the privilege of using! The QB is more than deserving of it.

Well, I came home from work to find a brown box sitting there. Odd, I wasn't expecting a package today...

I'm exhausted, so I will make a big long post tomorrow about the unboxing and first blood!

Gertrude · « **Reply #72 on:** April 17, 2015, 01:39:43 AM »

I like that...
"unboxing AND first blood" !

Congrats buddy, and Great Job Jason !

UCChris · « **Reply #73 on:** April 17, 2015, 05:35:28 PM »

Here we go! Unboxing and the first hunt! I will let the pictures speak for now!

Now to the good part! Here are the 30mm UTG rings that Jason trued.

Here is the LDC that Jason made up for me.

The gun out of the box

The gun with the LDC attached, along with the scope.

At this point I had planned to put on a swivel stud and attach the bipod, but I was too excited to shoot it! I pumped it up and did a quick sight in. This is how my first nine shots went...

1) Left - adjust scope
2) Hit pebble at 30 yards
3) Hit wasp at 25 yards

(At this point I headed off to my permission)

4-9) Dead starlings

Yeah, best first shots ever?

Here is the pic of the last starling. You can see that it is quite dark. The scope is most excellent and lets me see way later than my other scopes have.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention, those six starlings? Yeah, they all went down in under 15 minutes...

After getting back from my permission, I mounted up the bipod. Here is the gun as it is now.

So, after having shot it last night and some more this afternoon, what do I think of it? Well, my stupid grin probably says enough... But, there are a few key points I'd like to mention. 1) The way Jason has the LDC attach to the barrel is awesome! He drills and countersinks the LDC and then uses the front sight hole to hold the LDC on. It is amazing! 2) The trigger is stupid smooth. I think it is technically a single stage trigger, but the second stage is so light, and there is enough takeup, that it feels like an amazing two stage trigger. I'm in trigger heaven!

Anyway, I'm overjoyed with the gun. It is absolutely amazing. Stupid accurate and she hits hard!

Looks good, aren't you lucky.

Imagine what you can have now with a 22 ci tank on it.. If you take a look at my avatar pic, this is a QB79 with a 22ci tank on it.. I have manage to shoot it 860fps with 14.3 chp and around 90 consistant shot.. At 21 FPE this little baby is grabbing any small game i want at 50yards..

Chris, you mentioned a stupid grin but I did not see any pics?!?!?!?

Nice gun!!

Gertrude · « **Reply #77 on:** April 17, 2015, 08:10:53 PM »

Yeah, C'mon Chris,

We wanna see a pic of you holding Helga !

Ok, so let me get caught up with this new vernacular. So stupid is now a good thing?

Must be, because I see stupid being used a lot in a positive way!

So in that vein, congratulations Chris for having a really stupid rifle!

May we all have equally stupid guns!
