R9, 30 yards, steel eggs

[Greenarrow]

This was my first “quality” airgun as an adult. I bought this new in 2007 from AoA. Still pushing pellets out accurately 13 years later with a few cosmetic surgery enhancements over those years. Ha ha! Still so much satisfaction in hearing the steel ring when hit with. 14.6 gr H&N.

Wow!! Gorgeous piece of wood bro, what a beautiful rifle!


I like your target setup too man!... got me some of those ar500 eggs laying around somewhere, I hand-drew silly faces on each of them..  

 

[Greenarrow]

Thanks man! Sometimes I think I should just sell all my other airguns off and be a one gun guy. This one would be the last to go. Well, maybe I’d keep one pcp and one nice pistol too. And maybe a dedicated 10m rifle..... ha ha! See why I only think about selling them?



I never thought of drawing faces on them. Thought I was being creative just painting them different colors.... ha ha!

Essentially the same gun. Different branding with slightly different features but the same action.

Yes, that is a head turner... Now get in trouble comment, “Like a lovely woman in a short skirt!”

 

[Greenarrow]

Thanks for the compliments guys! I appreciate it. It’s a labor of love over the years. I like having something that is uniquely mine. This one just happens to be one of them.


@ hangtown I love the faces! Where did you get the eggs? Mine are different than the ones you have.


I bought mine here...

Never in a million years would I let a stock like that touch the pavement. I’d use the old one and put the fancy dress on only for special occasions.


What a sweet gun. 

 

[Greenarrow]

Ha ha! Thanks!



I set it down very gentle like.
