PRICE REDUCTION!!! and Explanation
« Reply #16 on: May 15, 2009, 02:11:43 AM »
The last photo above shows a very narrow scrape in the finish at the bottom of the cocking slot. I really haven't noticed this before but that must be where my wedding ring rubs against the wood when I am shooting.  That should be easily touched up.  The photo also shows a scraping of the cocking channel inside the stock. That was there when I got the gun.  I took off the action to see if there were any signs of continued damage but there were no wood fibers or dust present anywhere on the cocking mechanism or inside the stock itself.  As I said there was a nylon or plastic washer inserted in the cocking lever joint I guess to reduce side to side play in the lever joint. Although, it didn't seem to cause any harm, I removed it and bent in very slightly the opening of the arm so that the joint was minutely tighter with only a little play.  Don't think that this will make any difference in either the cocking of the gun or additional scraping of the wood. Also, in the photo it looks like the bluing may be splotchy, it's not - I didn't wipe the metal down before I took the photo.

To sweeten the deal, I've reduced the price to $225 plus shipping or $250 including shipping, which ever turns out to be the best deal.

I am very interested, I am trying to finish the sale on another gun and if this is still available I give you a shout.  How many shots have you taken with it and is it pretty accurate??

Thanks for your interest! I have shot a total of about 800 pellets of several different flavors.  It definitely likes JSB Exact 8.4 grains the best. As far as accuracy, here is where my problem comes in. I'm not a good marksman PERIOD. The occassional times that I luck out, the gun can nail the center of a dime sized target at 25 yards. The gun has done this repeatedly enough for me to know that the rifle can do it and that the problem is mine. That's why I'm selling it.  I need a lower power gun to "LEARN" to shoot with. I don't hunt and why I chose a cannon to target shoot with I don't know. Well, I do know and it was about male macho crap. Yes, I can truthfully say that the gun is accurate. Good luck with the sell of your gun.  Terry

Regarding picture posting, I have found that using the Reply button, I can add a picture, but using the reply section which comes up at the bottom of the thread only results in having the link spelled out and non-functional.  If you try the first method, you should be able to paste as many links as you desire into your post.  Good luck with the sale, BTW, that's a heck of a deal!
