Going to Keep it-sorry

[atchman2]

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!
