Quote from: Hoosier Daddy on May 13, 2019, 07:24:05 PMafter much delayt on my part, today I received the XS-12 from Mike M. at FD for my Grand-daughter "Dead-eye Lou" When I called Mike he was full of questions and at the end knew exactly what it was for as an award for a fine young gal who had done good. What he sent me was amazing. Not only breaks smooth and cocks easy, it has a a shot cycle that will surely pass the "pellet on turret" test.... AND the wood grain is ABOVE expectations! Photo's make it look much more "orange" than real life.... it is a beautiful brown.Nice furniture on that one Scott, I'd say from the numbers that gun is smoking hot. Congrats, very nice gift to give.

Yep, you're being a superb grandfather--which sorta heats up things for the rest of us. Great gift!
Dan..... this one's for you..... Got an e-mail yesterday that my pair of Hatsan Ultima 3-9x32 scopes arrived at 2:30 pm and would be delivered today. I took a break from work and ran to the PO and picked them up. I ordered them from Amazon but they shipped from Field Supply. Each scope was in a bubble bag and they were tossed in a big ole box with a few pillow air bags. Looked like typical Amazon packing. They came with lens covers and dovetail rings. One had the allen wrench and instruction paper. The other did not.However, both were unscaved..... surprisingly.I bought these for the pair of Maximus' I recently picked up from the classifieds here on the GTA. They will get mounted and very much used this weekend.I have a couple of these scopes that came with combo rifle deals. A springer will eat their lunch but they are just fine for C02 and budget PCP for 35yd. plinking and pesting. I paid $100 each for the guns so I wasn't about to pay $100 each for scopes. These were $25 each shipped.
