Blow's my mind.
I hope you all have been following the post from Gene about the RWS 94 that he had just received , she's a fine shooter and then proceeded to take her down and give it his MAGIC TOUCH!
He continued to add to his post about the progress of the tune and result's which were nothing less the OUTSTANDING!
Now comes a call from my good friend and airbud several days ago and were just chewing the fat about airguns, what else lol and out of nowhere Gene tells me that he's sending the 94 to me for a early CHRISTMAS
gift..............I was speechless for a moment and if I could have got through the phone I would have cried on his shoulder from the unselfish generosity that he had just displayed.
I still cannot find the right words to tell Gene how much this means to me and for a man and family member that I have not met face to face I held him close like a father for several years now, no your not that old buddy hehehe. This is a gift that will hold a close place in my heart from a Gentleman and true friend that I hold dear, GENE, YOUR ARE ONE OF A KIND!!!!!
and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Today the 94 arrived double boxed from FedEx and upon opening it my eyes looked at to me a new shooter, the bluing is superb and looking at her from butt to muzzle she was OUTSTANDING.!!!! She's a RWS from Spain but the care that go's into the RWS's shines through with this one as well. The wife watched me as I sat on the floor with box, bubble wrap and foam padding around me. Eye's glazed over as I held her, the shooter hehe and shouldered her again and again. Your like that kid off of the Christmas Story she said and I just mumbled something in airgun lingo and caressed the 94. I at last cleaned up my mess and grabbed a few CPHP to see how she shoot's, cocking her was beyond smooth with no sound, nothing. The engagement was even silent WOW!, THE VARMENT'S WILL NEVER HEAR HER COMING!.
Pellet in , target lined up and started the trigger pull and Gene did touch on what he did to the trigger and it is smooth with a slight spring felt but still smooth enough to not mess with accuracy.
The first shoot sounded like a whip snapping,
not from the action which if you have had the pleasure of shooting one of Genes tuned shooter's you know it's just a solid sound with no action sound, none, zip, zero.
The whip cracking sound came from the fps that the pellet was moving and it was moving and I think it hurt my pellet trap box lol. Gene's post on the chrony say's that he was pushing 8.3 grain's of lead through her I think and it was in the 900's.
I did get some time to mount a scope and get it sighted in close enough to put a bad hurting on a nutter at 30yards and speaking with Gene earlier we were thinking of slowing it down some and I put some Discovery 10.5 grains through her. The accuracy was great and they were still hammering my target box. I will fine tune her tomorrow and run her through the chrony to see where she's sitting. I must say again Gene went above and beyond in his generosity with this gift and he is the perfect example of what this forum stands for, truly A GREAT PLACE TO BE!!!!!!!!!
and people who one can call family. Gene "you are a cut above the rest" my friend and heart felt thank you's go out to you from me airbud. Oh I also told him that I would come down and sweep the shop floor's of shavings, degrease airguns, camo and polish equipment and walk his guard dog's.
Also take several critter's down to make a homecook meals. I know you've seen some pic's but I'm gong to give you some more, I want to get her scoped in tight and get her out tomorrow for a hunt. I cannot thank you enough Gene and I'll take care of her and prove her hunting skill's that I know she can do when put into the field. Ed
