Others Used Concept Lite XR inbound

[Florida_Man]

I decided to see what pellets I have on hand to test out, I thought 22 cal was where I was lacking variety. I was wrong. Oh, what you can find in the shed. I did order the H&N 15 and 18 to try out. I have a few heavy and light options, but all my 22 cals in the past like the 15-18 range best. The all time winner for me is the Air Arms 16 gr pellets, they've performed great from 4 different rifles. I have a feeling the Concept will like some iteration of the 15 or 18 grain JSB, but it may surprise me. I'm waiting for a rifle to come along that prefers H&N pellets. They are a good company that responds to their consumer.

No worries for you, AOA is a great outfit and will do you right. Am glad you’re excited to receive it, and looking forward to your impressions of it.

 

[pan60]

maybe there giving it a once over?
sure it wont be long.

Yeah, I’m not in a rush. Just excited. I am still trying to decide if I want to put a Pard DS35 or Oneleaf NV400 on it.
Initial pellet testing will be done with a Sightron SII 24x scope. I love my fixed power scopes for target shooting.

 

[Florida_Man]

It has shipped and will be early next week!

 

[Florida_Man]

It arrived. Some wear marks and some dust. The part I'm not thrilled about is the air cylinder was painted forward of the hand guard. I would have been happier with just the wear marks. It was a well used gun, but its action is smooth.
I cleaned up the dust. I already have a replacement magpul AK pistol grip for it. The stock piece that mounts to the frame that holds the buffer tube is a little loose, I'm sure I can tighten it up. The Hawke rail that came on it will be coming off. I have dovetail mounts for both optics I will be using on it.

keeps us in the loop.
the paint on the tube looks odd. being beat up would not bother me to much if the machanics are sound.

Same here. The plan for this is my primary pest rifle, it won't spend any time in the safe or case. the action is very smooth with no play.

the one i got for the wife had a foldinging stock on it. when did they start putting the folders on them, or not putting them on?

 

[Florida_Man]

These two screws were a little loose, its nice and tight now. Great feeling rifle.

I was just told that its an aftermarket addition. If the rifle is for me, I will probably order one.
The new ones offered by AoA don't come with the folder.

My mini too has its nicks and stuff from previous use, nothing that required repaint but I am ok with it. If its a utility rifle youre more than likely going to harm it in some way anyways. I find that caring about every little nick and scratch hinders the fun of shooting for me. If they shoot they shoot. Do I try and keep the best care in mind when using them? Yup I sure do, but I do not act like a stressed , anxious, ocd freak about it.

Looks like you got a rifle with experience, thats ok

I completely agree. Wiping anything down after use is a habit I have. I don’t like dust/dirt/sand left on a rifle. I’m in the tropics and near the ocean, so preventing corrosion is a priority for long term use here. It doesn’t take much time to wipe down after use.
