well as subject says i finally got my .177 Mrod tuned by GB with LW barrel, i never had seen one and dude she's gorgeous! The stock really isn't that bad has i thought (because of i've read). Can't wait to go home and mount the Hawke Sidewinder 8.5-34x52 on her and see how she group's Heavy JSB's and HN Baracuda Match... Well guys i'll report later...

That's sad to hear.... well I paid it on begining April 2010, arrived to portugal in 25 Sptember 2010, since then i've been strugling with the Customs and Police to get my rifle. so i took almost as much time with burocracies as Greg to build the gun!

ok... yesterday was a really busy day so i couldn't shoot my gun...

today thats another story i must had fired 500+ shot's and there's something i need to say about this gun... Well, i f*ckin'love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it came tuned for max power so i was gettin about 38J with JSB heavy's that's ALOT! for my purposes i decided to tune it to 20J or so, guess what it took me all morning and a little of the afternoon, +500 pellets but i achieved 60 shot's between 20-19J from 3200-2000 PSI i think this gun it's a winner!!! one sad notice this gun doesn't like JSB 8.44 GN, Doesn't love JSB 10.34 GN but she loves HN Baracuda Match 10.4 GN!!! I got my self surprised she didn't disliked the Gamo Red Fire!

it's raining alot here and i could only get 11yd shots today so i won't even post groups for now...

later i'll post some strings so you guys can tell me what you think...

regards

Glad you are loving the Marauder. how do you like the Hawke Sidewinder 8.5-34x52, is the glass clear?

Thanks

I would love to see how the EunJin 16.1's would perform on the GD tuned Mrod. This is my favorite pellet to date, offering the most consistent groupings so far. I'm still waiting for the weather to break to try the newly acquired Benji Discovery HP 10.5's. Give the EJ's a try if you get the chance, please. Thanks. Steve
