Turbo Tuned Air Hawk in .177 *** SOLD ***

[RedFeather]

Bought this to see what a well-tuned gun was like and, believe me, this IS a really well-tuned gun! Gene gave it the works with JM internals, custom parts, etc. Zero twang and a good trigger. But it's not getting shot (maybe twenty rounds through it), so it should go to someone who will get some good use out of it. $140, shipped CONUS.

Here she is from the outside - in: (Scope/mount not included - These were Gene's pics.)

Red has she been run over a chrony yet? What fps does she shoot? Thanks

And would you consider selling WITH scope and rings?

First, scope/mount pictured are not mine. This is for the gun, alone.

Second, I don't have a chrony. Gun has Tesla seal, GRT spring. I would guess it is easily in the 900's.

Yep kinda figured as much. That's too fast for what I'm wanting it for

Red,

I'm curious as to how much Gene's tune tamed affected the gun's hold sensitivity?  I have been playing around with a refurbished Air Hawk and have found it to be very sensitive to the placement of my shooting hand's thumb.  Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to be very sensitive to how I grip it with my offhand on the stock.  This is after a simple lube tune with no new parts internally.  

Thanks,

Bobby

P.S. BTW, had you sold this rifle a few months back, then I would have jumped on it, but not now that I have my own copy already.  It's a shame really, because there is no way that I could ever match the tune job that Gene performed.  In fact, his post about this rifle back in the day was a major influence on my decision to purchase the refurbed Air Hawk that I now own.  Cse la vie :-)

Gun has been sold, pending funds.

I only shot it a couple of times but it did not seem to be that hold sensitive. Of course, it was at 10M with open sights. And I'm no great shot, LOL.
