From the spec sheets:

Both are much shorter than the Hawke, at 19.5 inches. The NF is 11.5 and the LRHS 13.5. The Hawke weighs 27.5 ounces, the NF 20 and the LRHS 25. Both are compact, but not exactly lightweights. The LRHS is one third shorter but weighs the same.

Since I’ve got you on the phone, what would be the downside of a Zeiss Terra 3x 3-9x50mm Riflescope? “Adjustable” to four feet (focus not stated) and weighs a pound. It certainly would be clear in daylight, and the front objective is approaching the limit without raising the rail.

As I read more about the Eotech, the holographic sight has no magnification. All of my shooting is 20 to 40 yards, and old eyes could us some magnification. I’m using a Hawke Sidewinder TAC 30 6.5-20X42 Mildot now, usually at 10x or less. Great scope, but heavy.

The XPS2-2 looks like it might be what I need, but I am concerned…Read more

I very much want to avoid tinkering with the regulator and especially so given that everything was working pretty good right out of the box and the only hiccup has been the hammer spring coming unscrewed.

I screwed it in to about the middle of the threads and today it shot 40 or so at 900 fps with a spread of 13 fps. I actually…Read more

Can I get there by just reducing the hammer spring tension? At what point would the regulator have to be adjusted?

What is the maximum amount of adjustment in fps that can be made with just the HST? I realize every gun is different and that the bottom line is accuracy,…Read more

Got it back home and removed the stock for the first time and the hammer spring was lying limp. I wasn’t sure what I was looking at, but what else could it be?? Screwed it back in just now, but I must have moved the collar screw while I was struggling to ease the hammer screw…Read more

He is only offering a slip-on version with set screws. Any suggestions on a moderator to use with this adapter on an R3M? Is an adapter and moderator advisable given the barrel design of the R3M?

The first shot string is offered as a baseline for comparison purposes to anyone interested. And I am encouraged by your experience, and no doubt others are looking for feedback on the new batch of R3Ms. While there is room for improvement, I am loving this gun and absolutely impressed with the craftsmanship. She is a thing of beauty.

Uploaded this as a pdf. There’s a graph at the end.

You are wise to recognize that new owners may not have the history or knowledge of your longtime customers. And you certainly want many, many new customers. :winkn:

Shot consistency is a big deal for all of us. Tell us how to correctly balance the regulator and hammer spring tension for the two or three most common pellets for…Read more

I accidentally deleted the first string off the chrono — that should require a double click — and had to start over well into the second magazine. As I recall, the earlier shots were no higher.

Settled on the .22 standard hoping it will be quiet enough for some backyard plinking. Placed the order after noon but Tony was able to get it out the door within a couple of hours. That’s real customer service. Extra magazines won’t be available for a while.
