nobby Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Had an empty bag day on my permission today so thought I'd take the time to zero in a few of my rifles that rarely see the light of day. Whipped out my old xs78 modded by porkyyorky, I had forgotten what a quality job he had done for me and what an awesome little gun I had for very little expense. Once zeroed 5p groups are a doddle balance and everything is sweet. It's almost a shame its only my 3rd choice rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_No Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Porky is a craftsman and a gent, I have a longtube I still need to fit to by TH78, they are a great budget rifle with a little tinkering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 He is a legend mate. I've spent a fair few hours round his plinking with his multitude of creations. He even had a load pictured in a feature in Airgunner mag. I reckon a lot more people would have them if they new what an hours tinkering could do.

secretagentmole Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 The QB does not run at 11! I know, a QB runs the same power as an XS! I had to buy a tuning kit for my little Chinese piece of chicanery! Damned good rifles though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonwolf444 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 QB and XS can run at whatever power you like, just depends on law and shotcounts. I have one and love it, fairly underated rifles, by some. Agree'd porky is a gent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
