So what did you Order / Receive today ? (to feed the "Beast" that lives within)

[NautclRltr]

Orderd FX Radar Chrony from Pyramid.  First chronograph for me.  Never knew exactly what my three springers were shooting.   

[Insanity]

I didn't order anything, but I certainly hit pay dirt!  My X-TRAC remote for my ATN 4K Pro quit working.  Tried a few brand new batteries in it and it wouldn't pair with the scope any longer, so I contacted ATN Customer Service about sending it in for repair.  After a couple rounds of troubleshooting, they sent me a battery to try, same result.  It was like the remote just didn't have a strong enough bluetooth signal to pair with the scope.  In any event, ATN is sending a free replacement.

During all these e-mail exchanges, I noticed a banner at the bottom of the CS Rep's email about receiving free stuff for doing a review of their products on Amazon.  I already had the scope and recently acquired a pair of their BinoX HD binoculars, so I did a couple of reviews on Amazon and sent the Links to the CS Rep.  This is where it gets good...

I was expecting a ball cap or key chain or some other low value item, but nope, the CS Rep sent me a list of items to choose from and told me to pick 2 since I had done 2 reviews!  So, not only do I have a new remote on the way, I have their SuperNova IR Lamp and a Battery Pack for the Scope coming!  KaChing!  Those 2 items list for close to $300 for both of them on their website!  I was truly blown away!  I just received the FedEx shipping number and they should be here Monday!

That is one heck of a hook up gratz.

Wayne seriously do I now need to buy one of them too?

Never tried Creedmoor pellets.
Where are you buying them from?

 I buy them from https://www.creedmoorsports.com/.    They are made by Vogel and really are a quality pellet. My favorite wadcutter is Meisterkugeln but these Vogels are just as good but only come in the 8.17 grain variety.

Thank you for that Eric.
 I checked them out and then read up on Vogel...
Just ordered 4 tins. Of all the .177's I have, I bet something will shoot them some what like the Meisters. After all, who doesn't want another 2000 quality pellets for $40 shipped!

They arrived today... smashed. 
 Not the shipper (fed-ex fault, they were poorley packed at Creemoor.
Two pair of tins packing taped together in an unpadded Fed-Ex enveloped with a piece of bubble wrap thrown in.
 I have contacted Creedmoor customer support with photos.
 Now am awaiting the reply before opening the tins or posting photos of these with the top, sides, and bottom beat.
 Sad, I had really high hopes as they are Vogel's match quality pellets..

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

The refurbished Hatsan Nova Star I order last week with the 12% off sale arrived today.  First impression [just looking it it] were great!  The stock is gorgeous!  The fit and finish of the stock to the rifle it perfect!  It was much shorter and lighter than I was expecting, especially with Hatsan's reputation for building huge tanks of air guns!  All looked good so I moved on to the function check.

Well, I'll cover all that in another thread about my overall impressions.  But for now, I'll just say that being a technician at Hatsan has to have close to the same standards as being a weatherman!  You can apparently not so good at your job 99% of the time and still not be fired!  Fortunately, what I have learned here over the past couple years has given me the confidence to just jump in and fix what Hatsan apparently couldn't! 

It's shooting well now and groups are about dime sized at 37 yards using 18.13 grin JSB.  More to follow...

Are you still selling Rat Sniper slugs in 45gr .25? Did you ever get caught up?

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Wrong Rat Sniper!  LOL!  Sorry, but apparently he was a member before my time and I didn't realize the screen name had previously been used, thus the AKA in my screen name, which is what I had before I changed it.

You had a real airgun Christmas thing going on Rat Sniper! Love that handle. That's also awesome you scored with the review feedback as well. I got my tins of 30 caliber Vortex pellets.

Within the hour I have received a reply from Gina at customer support.
She appologized and said her self they should have never been packaged this way.
 With my photos there was no need to send them back and she would PERSONALLY send out the replacements.
 5 minutes later I have shipping conformation of another order shipped!
NOW THAT is Customer Service!
 
I will update on the next 4 tins on their arrival.

Received my 'new to me' vintage Crosman 1400 from Matchstickshooter today... I was able to put 15-20 shots thru her tonight before I had to run out the door for a dinner date with friends.

She's a Beauty... (this photo doesn't do it any justice...)  The few shots I was able to send down range after work tonight held nice and tight using Benjamin Discovery 14.3gr Hollowpoints... looking forward to helping it find it's favorite ammo!!!

Thanks again to Wendell for making this available to me...

I ordered a refurbished ATN X-Sight II HD 5-20X scope.  Apparently I'm a loyal ATN owner, I got a call from the CS Rep I have been working with on a warranty item and she offered me $100 off their advertised refurb sale price!  How could I say no?

I received my 1911 target style pistol grips and the Super Sear both ordered for the BlueFork 1911 Crosman trigger.
 The grips will need some (minimal) Dremel work at the very bottom because they were designed to wrap around the Magazine, which naturally we do not have.
No big deal to me, they are COOL!!

Geez Paul! That's awesome, You've been getting deals left and right.

I know!  I’m thinking I should run to the Tom Thumb and buy a Lottery Ticket!  LOL!

[avator]

Don't bother, I bought 10 of them Sunday and all I got was $20 further in the hole.

Yea, I tell my wife I’d be better off just throwing dollar bills out the window of a moving vehicle, there’s a better chance of some of the bills getting sucked into the back window than me winning the lottery!

Looks like a QB58 to me.... but the 88 was so similar.
 Please keep us (me) posted.
 I am really liking mine now that I found it's preferred pellet and hold.
