I bought a refurbished Air Hawk from Cabelas for around $75. To this I added a JM mainspring, and I had Mike Melick tune it up. Those two things cost me around $100, so I have 175+ in the gun. For some reason me and this gun don't mesh so I'm going to sell it. I'd like to get a $100 for it, but I'll likely take less. I still have the original Air Hawk scope on the rifle. The good thing is it likes cheap pellets better than better ones! I just use it for a plinking gun.
If you are interested I'll send pictures, but it has a nice wooden stock. Because of the tune it cocks smoothly and quietly. The trigger has been adjusted as well. I can't shoot it as it is so different from my 350 and my Whisper. The same holds and stuff don't work on it. I'll take a 100 for it and I'll pay for the shipping.

I went out and messed with it today. It is raining like crazy here! I was able to shoot from 12 yards exactly. The first one was my warmup group. The second picture is of the last group I shot before it got too to raining any harder. The dot in the middle is the size of a .22 pellet so you can see it is shooting pretty well at 12 yards. The flyer was me as I didn't have a really good rest and yanked the trigger a bit.
Lastly, there are two views of the gun. Right now it has a Gamo scope on it, but I'll put the Air Hawk scope back on it before I send it off.

I'll take it. On the B&S and BOI many times over.

Going to keep it. I realized one of my friend's owes me money so instead of selling this to finance it, I'll just use the "found" money. :)
To answer some questions. It has gotten more and more accurate since the tune. Since Mike worked on it, it has been smooth as butter.

I think that's great Randy. I glad I'm not the only one around here that changes my mind and decides to keep one of our babies . kirby

Randy,
Good for you. It actually looks like a nice shooter. With Mike's touch and a JM spring I was still tempted even though it was .17. I sure hope my new Quest project comes out half as nice as I'm sure your Ruger is!
