Q:

Shorty Delivered Yesterday

My Shorty finally arrived yesterday :party: She is a brown stocked model with nice bluing and anodizing. It arrived with the HSTA about a turn in from flush and going 850s-860 with 15.9s. I adjusted the trigger since it had no first stage and a bit of creep, then I polished up the HS ends. I put her over the chrony to lower fps down to 820s-830 and the ES started to increase with the lower power settings. :confusedn: Also with my HSTA flush my speed is a little lower than most are reporting, I get 820s-830 with 15.9s at the flush setting? Seems this Shorty likes the speed up for a lower ES, are they all this way ? Seems the reg may need to come out and be cleaned along with replacing the O-rings ? IDK

For the price it’s hard to beat, fitted foam is ideal for protection. As long as your not real rough handling it there isn’t really a problem. I think just throwing a folded towel in there over and around it will give enough extra protection if needed. There aren’t a lot of nice 26″ or 24″ cases to choose from. I wish Blackhawk made one.

sprocket i got one of them cases too ….

Thinking about putting some polyethene foam in it and carving it to fit so it semi stiff for my shorty.

How you like it??

Here figured it out, duh. The bluing and anodizing are very nice. I’m getting a boat load of shots stacking in one hole at 30 yards with 15.9s going 820fps. I really really like this thing, the Cobra 3-9x42MD and bubble level make it so easy and fun to shoot this thing like laser.

Yah the card had the 18.1s going like 809-821 IIRC. I don’t have a photo bucket account, is there any other way to post pics ?

Congrats enjoy that sweet lil hell raiser.

Kool beans…..
Did u get a card saying how fast 18gr were shooting, with a short shot string.

How fast was the 18s going?

So going too use the jsb 15.9s, I take it too. :mrgreen:

Thanx, I’m mounting up the Mamba Lite 3-12×44 SCB tonight if I can get home before the old lady. I was toying with idea of a Bug3-9 to keep it compact and lite. Braking out the levels and plumb bob LOL. The trigger came out sweeeet after adjusting in a first stage and lightening up the sear contact. I’m still tweaking in the hammer spring setting for best ES.

Nice SPROCKET,
post a pic when u can.
What scope u got on her?? 🙄
