B-40 arrived
« on: January 27, 2009, 04:16:24 PM »
I got the Mike Melick B-40 today.  Twas nearly dark when I got home so I sat on the porch and dieseled to my hearts content.  I didn't count how many shots, but it quit smoking and it is a pretty nice shooting gun.  A little bit of recoil but less than my shadow.  
This rifle is nothing like my Anschutz or CM-2 in terms of weight.  I don't find the rifle particularly heavy.  I was anticipating heavier.
The finish is "off the gun" satin with a very slight orange peel but there looks to be sufficient thickness of finish to do a hand rubbed satin but I'm much too lazy.  I do that kind of stuff for work, I don't want to infect my playtime with it.  
I'll have my choice of three scopes to put on this one and I think it's going to be the Bushnell 3-12X40AO and I'll put the Leapers 3-9X40AO IR on the 26.  
Anyway, I have good feelings about this gun judging by the way it feels when I shot it.  
When I get the scope mounted and zeroed I'm going to start spending time in the FT seated position.  
I'd love to put apertures on it and shoot it offhand.  If a sling would work on it I would probably be in heaven.

Congratulations Charlotte, on the arrival of your new baby..:) I assume he weighs in the range of 9 lbs 4 oz..:) I took home a B-40 but had to adopt her out because she just weighed to much for me..:) Hope he works out for you and happy shooting girl..:)

:D  :D  :D  I hear ya.  It takes my daughter to help me on that.  Once I get the scope mounted I'll be ready to put some up.  The scope and mount should be here tomorrow.
