RAW REPORT

Plenty of 81,02s in my ammo box for the HMx when it’s done, thinks it’s been 15-16 weeks but I’m not very good at math,July 12th-November 1st so again I’m going silent till I hear from Sandra. I have a new .25 Patriot WC arriving Friday and with winter nipping on our heals and snow on the ground I’m not sure I’ll get to get the HMx really sighted in, cold weather,cold air change ballistics so unless we get some warm weather it will probly sit in the guncase till next spring now. Can’t due a good review in cold weather, maybe a cold weather review but I won’t have any good info to compare it to.

Sandra stayed home, when I called I asked if they had a good time and she said she didn’t go, to busy..and yes she is awesome to talk to and we usual have a good laugh about something when I talk to her.

Talked to Martin today. I emailed about a HM1000x LRT. He was very helpful and you can tell he is a heck of a guy. Hoping to take a trip out to Tenn to visit and to put my hands on one of the guns before I place my order. ROAD TRIP!!!

Tenn is about a 10 hour drive from me so I could make it in one day easy. Yes I'll check to see that they are going to be there before I make that drive. I was thinking of going on Friday but i think I'll wait so that I can go in the middle of the week rather than the weekend. Hoping to make it to the shoot there in Tenn on the weekend of Dec 2.

That would be a good road trip.

Questions?
Whats ring height are you using on the HM1000x?
Does anyone use FX ajustable rings?
If you are using a FFP scope, which one is it?

Hotbrass, I'm using Sportmatch adjustable rings on mine with a Sightron SIII 8-32X56. That leaves the bell about 3/8" above the barrel.

I had SWFA 12x42 scope on mine with SWFA Medium height rings.

Optisan EVX line has 2 front focal plane scopes that you may like.I just bought one from Trenier outdoors. No complaints at all should fit my hft needs very well.

I just bought a very very cheap Hiram 4-14x44 FFP scope a few days ago just to see what a first focal plain is like, they say once you zero in your point of impact it doesn’t change when you change from 5-9 8-4 whatever, I’d like to put a FFP on my HMx with no limit rings but before I spend 4-800 on a better FFP scope I need to make sure it’s for me, I’ve read that some folks don’t like FFP because at Long ranges the crosshairs can cover up the target. It would be nice to not have to worry about holdover or holdunder shots but to just change magnification and still be zero’d, I’ll report back on it after I’ve had it for a bit.

I have FFP scopes on a few of my powder burners, and a couple of airguns. I absolutely love FFP scopes. As far as the reticle covering the target, get a scope with a thin reticle.
I would love to have a Sightron, wish they had locking turrets and zero stop. They do have very nice glass in the S111 line.

All my Powder Burners have SFP scopes or red dots on them, never really thought about FFP until I got into airguns although some of the SCAR and Tavor owners are using FFP scopes the price was keeping me from trying one but now I’ll see what it’s all about, I know it’s a cheap FFP I’m getting but at least I’ll see what all the hype is about now, heck maybe it will be a ok scope, I’ll find out in a few days when I get it.

No news yet...

Good info!
