new AR2078A on the way
« on: July 30, 2006, 04:41:58 PM »
Mike from Flying Dragon built me up a new AR2078A which is on the way right now. I bought a Crossman 1077 but found it just too basic for my use. Mike has been very responsive to my Emails and I look forward to telling you all what the results of his tunep are on the target lline. His price seemed very fair and he now has a link on the "Mall" page on the GTA site. My goal is to have a hunting gun for rabbits and ground squirrels that will allow me to get off a second shot with less hesitatioin, the tough jacks around here do not always go down with the first shot and I know they typically do last long with a Predator or Logun, but I don't like the idea of them suffering either.

You will love it!!!

I also got one of those little target rifles from Mike last week.  I didn't have him soup it up any at all--just polish the trigger, etc.  I haven't chronied it yet but I believe it shoots in the mid to high 600s with a Crosman wadcutter pellet.  It is very accurate.  I really like the diopter sights.  I may go for a souped up version in .22 later.

Gun got here in fine shape but I am off on a business trip. Mike did a great job of packing and had the gun in the mail within 24 hours of my check hitting his mailbox. Will have a review soon. The manual is a trip - very hard to understand. I will be reading the Library info on bulk fill as I cannot make heads or tails out of the instructions. The gun came with an adapter, a quick fill hose and a tank connector as well as the standard powerlet cap. Also has two sets of sights, open and rubber eyepiece.

If you need a better manual. I have that's alot better than the one that comes with the gun.
 IF any one wants lets just let me have you e-mail addy and I will send it own to ya.
