What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

Today I got a 6.5 gallon bucket for HFT. It will hold my bottle. I have long legs and I am not sure it this will be better or worse as a sitting position.

Ok this did not work. Yes it carries my bottle great. But as a shooting platform it is awful. The seating position makes my legs level not squatting so there are all sort of muscle activity to get stable. Ya that lasted two shots and I was already squirming around. And the 25 yard group opened up to 14/ inch. Went back to my trusty five gallon bucket and it is spot on . So the white 6.5 gallon bucket is a nice bottle holder.
 
Just added a new trigger assembly with the flat trigger and a NV clip on with a QD mount to my normal size GK1. Now I can swap from RMR to night vision scope. :D Base magnification way too high at 12x though, so I might try a LPVO. But with the fixed paralax on not sure how it will work, but should be OK i think at ranges inside 50yd/60yd.
Edit: it's an AR style grip plus trigger. I'm waiting for my wilson combat grip so I'm using my old western rattler grip now.

I’ve found that those little plastic folding step stools work great….being 5’8”…I use the 13” or the 9” heights. I’m much more stable with my butt below my knees. Also enables me to rest my forearms on my thighs. Good luck in your search. John

Are you using the bucket as a stool?

Accu-tac PC-4. It looks tiny but it's actually pretty big, the Pelican case is just massive. I couldn't understand why the shipping box was so big until I opened it up. Holy moly.
😂👍...congratulations! Yes....they are bigger than expected but oh so rigid and sturdy! I picked up the P-Ski Feet for mine while on sale.....the feet rotate 360 degrees but are slick/slippery on smooth surfaces so I put silicone drink holders under the feet on smooth surfaces. The P-Ski Feet make the legs a bit wider for a little more stability also.
