I didn't need another air rifle.

[Sqwirl57]

But for $150 including a case and a tin of pellets, I'm getting one. I'm broke, not stupid. There aren't many things I'll make a 3hr round trip drive for after working 9hrs but apparently pretty airguns are one of them.

She's dieseling a bit still but she's certainly healthy. This was with the JSB 10.3gr pellets. Im hoping it settles in somewhere just below 20fpe. This would be a very fun hunter class FT springer. I shot a quick 30m 10 shot group after sighting in a scope (rush job, running out of day light) and while not amazing, more than acceptable concidering the dieseling and a loose pivot adjustment. I have nothing but faith she'll get to where I need her to be.

Excellent find!

Yeah I'm ecstatic. I've always wanted one but didn't want to drop the money on a brand new one. When my buddy sent me the ad I was like I will be there ASAP!

I'm pretty suprised by the recoil. I've only ever shot the lightweight Gamo magnums so I wasn't sure what to expect here. Its pretty darn tame thanks to that weight but still balances really well.

It’s a real nice looking rifle. Like those lines! Just needs a loooong good scope to match, but what will survive the recoil?

I slapped a Bullseye mount and Athlon Ares BTR on there for the time being. I'm fairy certain my UTG Swat will work fine but we'll see. I'm more concerned with ironing out the small kinks it has

Did you buy this off a ad on airgun warriors?

I’m using the UTG Swat on a Hatsan 125, if it works there it should survive on the 350. The Ares is a too nice of a scope to gamble with…

I'm skeptical myself but I'm curious to see how well made this thing really is. Athlon warranty will cover it though so no real loss if it doesn't survive. Plus the Bullseye Mount will soften the blow quite a bit

If that's the one that's been for sale on the Warrior forum I saw that but thought at that price it was probably a scam. Shoot fire, lost out again.
Glad you got it and that its as good as you say.

I thought for sure it was a scam too but then I saw the "local pickup only in NJ" and realized it may not be. Legally shipping airguns there requires dealing with an FFL because they are concidered firearms. The gentleman just didn't want to go through the hassle and I don't blame him honestly.

 

[Sqwirl57]

Not only is it beautiful, it's on my short list. Congratulations.

I called a guy in Dallas one Sunday morning (back in Craigslist days), 200 miles from me to buy a Schwinn 3-speed Racer. Good times.

Thank you!

200 miles is no joke. It's amazing what we'll do for new toys though.

 

[cjtamu]

Very nice. Looks extremely clean.

 

[Mike_Lenardon]

I would have done the same.

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Need has nothing to do with it. Good find!

I won't overscope this beauty with a heavy scope like that. A Simple Hawke or UTG 3-9x40 AO Mil-Dot will do just fine.

 

[Sqwirl57]

No such thing as "overscoping"! Not once have I ever complained about being able to see too well.

But yeah, after I get it all figured out it'll probably end up with a much smaller 4-16x on there. Thats plenty for this gun.

end of next month i'm driving 6 hours to Findley OH for Toys that shoot . do i need anything ? no but what has that to do with it .

 

[Sqwirl57]

Thats the funny thing about "needing" things. Sometimes you won't know that you need them until you have them.

The 350 .22 I had was a little hold sensitive but once I figured out what she wanted, it was a deadly pest hunter wearing an etched glass UTG 3x12.
