My MM B26

[kkoenning]

Received the B26 (.177) at the beginning of the week. Only took a couple days to get it!

What a fantastic rifle. Excellent trigger and very smooth shooting with plenty of power. Just got a scope installed and zeroed.

Pardon my poor pictures and the clutter behind the rifle.

The targets are ten shots each at 25 feet (indoors). These are the first 3 targets I shot after zeroing the scope. This rifle is terrific!

I also got mine this week from Mike, is exactly what you described in your thread.  I am shooting open sights at this time,  I am hitting a quarter at 20 yards with Crosman hollow points.  First day out in my backyard and already killed 12 black birds and one white wing.  

What kind of bases, rings, and scope are you using. Rick

Mount is a Leapers accushot medium high one piece. Scope is a Leapers 3 - 9 x 32. Both purchased from Pyramyd Air.

Fantastic beautiful shooter you purchased.....you hit the jackpot.....look at the accuracy of that weapon.

Does the scope "catch" abit of the front sights....it seems just a bit low.  I've a few air rifles that do that....makes a slight halo at the bottom of the sight picture.  With a green fiber optic front sight....I get a little green halo.  But I got used to it.

I do not notice any halo at the bottom of the image.

I have the same scope and mount on my MM B26 .22.  Works great.

I did have a problem initially, but I removed the scope and mount and remounted it.  The problem disappeared.  Apparently there was some movement on the mount at first.

It's a very smooth rifle, but a bit finicky.  She really shines with FTS pellets in .22.

Enjoy it!  It's a great rifle!

On my B26 I do notice a little shadow from the front sight, but it's not enough of an issue for me.  I like the security of having sighted iron sights on, even with a scope.

As mentioned, I have the same scope and mount as the OP.  It's no big deal that slight shadow.

I have never bought a B-26 from Mike but one thing is for sure. They can be a very accurate springer if a bit of tlc is provided. I have the predecessor to the B-26, the B-20 and she is very very consistwith CP's and also have a B-26 that is just as accurate and consist ant. So since the B-20 and the B-26 is designed after one of the most popular Beeman air rifles the R-9, which has given many shooters many awards for there participation in target shooting events all across the world.

Doesn't get better than that for a low cost R-9 and it even shares the same two stage trigger as the R-9.

 When I bought my 26 off MM, he said this will quickly become my favorite.  He's right,  its not the fastest shooting, its not the hardest shooting, its not even the most accurate rifle I own.  To me, its the most comfortable shooter I own. The size,weight, smooth action and the best trigger.  It doesn't do just one thing well, it does everything.  This is my KEEPER.  CHINAGUNNER
