After a huge wait my new gun has finally arrived .well chuffed
Great stuff, you've waited a while for it. I look forward to seeing some pics of it 8)
Really pleased with the rifle apart from the cheap very small pistol grip and the nut that holds it on , I picked up a Donny fl sumo mod and a hills ec3000 at the same time .
I a man going to have to get some taller scope mounts as the ones I have are all too low to clear the mag ,the trigger is lovely the action very slick , there are some bits missing from the full power spec gun ,the large sound mod ,the power adjuster and the barrel is 16" rather than 24 .
well you have been very patient and glad it finally turned up - lets hope it lives up to expectations 8)
Very nice, enjoy.
That's a lovely rifle indeed.
Enjoy
Well worth the wait.
A cracking bit of kit indeed.
keep us updated as to how you get on with it in the fields or range.
Regards Kev.
Superb, looks great and I bet your pretty pleased with it all. Enjoy 8)
Pistol grip changed for a Magpul , new Element optics rings picked up today so the rifle has a Element Helix on board, this is where the fun started .
Large pellet catcher and a board behind that and I missed it at 20 yard .wft moment .
Stuck the chrono on and I am getting 9.2 ftlb head scratcher,took the Donny sumo off and all became clear , the lead debris that fell out was quite impressive, so long store short the should mod is on the P.
Stuck on another mod and took a few shots just to make sure there was no clipping All good on that front and I gained about a ftlb . The gun is still low but actually feels great I did expect to have to do something tweaking
That does look rather nice, but a 9 month wait !! :o
Swapped the mod for a weihrauch xl the Donny was clipping badly so took it back

The wording is a little confusing but I'm sure their web site says they recommend you use the next cal up for their mods :-\
Hi it was actually a .25 moderator on a .22 rifle and was still a pellet shredder,the xl is to my ear better and actually lighter too
To some it might sound a bit mad spending this much on a rifle but it was bought as a building block to make into the best rifle that fits me and my shooting style as much as I can , I could have waited and brought the fac Hmx but they are essentially the same so I would rather convert it myself , not at the moment I also have a fx impact that satisfies the fac air gap for now ,I enjoy the building experience as much as shooting.
To be honest..I also wondered about that.
Enjoy
I hope you finally turn it into the gun you wanted Mick. Only wish I had your patience, I would have gone another direction in the time you have had to wait. Still very happy with the MFR, I know I keep repeating it, but it really is brilliant. Hope the Hills compressor is working well, fancy one myself, just can`t decide whether to buy one or stick to tanks. Would be nice to be independent though. ATB Ken.
Hi ken , I love building things to be honest I have my eye on a MDT buttstock very nice but bloody expensive, not used the hill s as yet and haven't really had chance to soot the gun , the last three days I have been tiling my fireplace and fitting an oak floor , all exciting stuff , not
