Finally here!
I put it together, which was pretty simple, then went to the backyard for a couple shots. Started out at 20 yards and was hitting 1.5" low and 1.5" right, but the consistency was amazing. Out to 30 yards was good too but I will definately be upgrading the scope. I was pretty surprised by the drop from 30 yards to 50 yards and can understand why a good rangefinder & scope would be a very good idea. Put about 25 bolts downrange and would have gotten totally sucked in and done more if I hadn't had a couple work projects that had to get done. I'm looking forward to playing with this when I'm not distracted, at 40 yards I could pick which part of the 2" circle I wanted to hit- I'm impressed with this little machine! Anybody figure out a good way to keep the 2 pronged safety lock from getting lost yet? I can see myself doing that in short order.

Pretty sure there is a hole in the stock to fit it in.

Makes sense- I looked for that but didn't see one. Thought about drilling 2 holes, guess I'll have to....read the manual!

They are in the rubber shoulder pad. I also used high reflective tape on the lock out pin body just in case i dropped it out of a tree stand.

Found it... like the reflective tape idea. It sure seems like this feature could be made to stay in the holes and just be pushed in or pulled out. Must not have been that simple.

I sprayed mine yellow tied it to a piece of string and a plastic keyring. If dropped it is hard to find!

Glad someone brought this up. I've been wondering how I was going to keep from losing it. Love the idea of either painting it or putting reflective tape on it too.

Verne,
Thanks again for posting that sale at Cabela's, $418.99 to my door for the SZ350 package was the best deal I could have ever hoped to find. I really wasn't ready to pull the trigger on a CB yet but had to on this deal! They waived shipping charges and because there is no Cabela's in NY there was no tax which saved me another $34 to put towards bolts!

Good fun! 3 bulleye in a row @ 40 yards tonight after work. Need to order some new bolts, probably just get more of what came with the package- they seem to be up to the task. They definately thump the target MUCH harder than my Mathews set at 70 lbs does. I really enjoy shooting it, very accurate. Have fun!
