Kudos to www.airgundepot.com for the speedy delivery and correcting a misunderstanding (I was under the impression it came w/RWS shooters kit...didn't come w/order, they went ahead and sent it no shipping charge).

That's a beauty, may have to get me one. Its a 4-16x50 Leapers (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_5th_Gen_4_16x50AO_Rifle_Scope_Illuminated_Red_Green_Mil_Dot_Reticle_Zero_Lock_Reset/1808). Seems pretty good so far. My only complaint (may have nothing to do w/scope) is I'm damn near out of winage adjustment just to get it on target...really bugs me when stuff like that is not near center. Thanks for the comments guys. The rifle looks and feels great. It has proven very accurate even out of the box and the power seems to just keep increasing as it breaks in. This thing will send a RWS pointed pellet right through 1" solid wood plank (don't know wood type, but its not ply or particle board). My Crossman 1377 won't even bury the pellets Not a knock againts the 1377...its not meant to be a powerhouse by any means. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 4:06 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Tremendously cool thing!

Remember, shoot heavy pellets! I mulled around the idea of getting some PBA pellets just to see if I could hear a crack...decided against it. It seems to produce most power with pellets in the 16-19gr range, although I've not done enough testing to really know for sure. Surprisingly, the polymags punches perfect holes in paper...none of the other pellets come close in that (relatively insignificant) regard. BTW, thanks a ton to the forum members for advice or I would've ended up getting a cheapo break barrel which I would've likely been disappointed with. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 4:19 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands How's the length of the gun working for you by the way, not to front heavy? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 4:26 pm Lipoly Veteran Member Joined: 06 Dec 2009 Posts: 241 Location: St. Louis, MO, USA broommaster2000 wrote: How's the length of the gun working for you by the way, not to front heavy? I probably wouldn't know if its slightly front-heavy, being the first real rifle of any type I've owned. I just place my hand on the balance point. I'm 6'2", so I have no problem placing my hand on the balance point w/o stretching. It is heavy enough to make it kinda uncomfortable (induces wobbling) to shoot standing w/o any rest for more than a few rounds in a row.

I shoot an HW90 and in spite of its good ballance, you really wanna learn some good resting positions. I like the FT position a lot right now. No problem killing cans at 50 yards. Just shoot it a lot while standing. If you'll do it often enough, you'll get used to it. I am getting used to my HW90 while standing for more then 30 shots while in the beginning I had trouble with keeping shot number 10 on target. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 6:41 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho it will look even sexier if you take off the open sights. or even chop and recrown the barrel and add a muzzle brake. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:28 pm Lipoly Veteran Member Joined: 06 Dec 2009 Posts: 241 Location: St. Louis, MO, USA sniper wrote: it will look even sexier if you take off the open sights. or even chop and recrown the barrel and add a muzzle brake. Thanks for mentioning...didn't even realize the front sites were on rails...can easily take them off...not sure about adding a brake. I'll have to ask a few more annoying questions on the forum before that happens. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 12:03 pm Lipoly Veteran Member Joined: 06 Dec 2009 Posts: 241 Location: St. Louis, MO, USA Well, I took the open sights off. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a brake that will fit? _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 2:56 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA .625" ID Muzzle Brake _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...
