My first one,

Post by DsGrouse » Wed Mar 23, 2022 9:22 am

My Big Boy X H012CX arrived.

I'm waiting on the pic rail for the 1-6 scope. I ran 50 rounds out of it yesterday and it seemed to be right on the money for me.

I am not a fan of the stock at all. I think I will try and dump it after I pick up the H012MX

Getting there.
Put another hundred rounds through it today while sighting it in. That thud sound, one of a 1000 fps, 250grn lead round hammering into steel or into wet soil is a joy.

Very nice. At first I put a 1-6x on mine, but didn't like the balance. It just didn't bode well for my intended purpose of close in brus gun. Put a Sig Romeo 5 on and it is now where I want it. I also love the sound of the 255gr SWC smacking the targe.

As a die hard fan of the romeo 5 yeah i can understand the choice. Most of my other guns have a red dot. For this and the 38/357 i plan to puck up, i wanted a bit of zoom.

My eyes are not what they once were.

That looks downright ominous, I like it! :D

Evil black rifles come in different forms. HA! Take that Beto…

If you mean lead cast or swaged bullets then you should slug your barrel and the slugs that you shoot should about two thousandths bigger than the grooves. Every rifle is a little different so slug yours and put a micrometer on the lead slug at the widest point.
