falcon Menace 4.5-18x56 Metric MP20

[flims]

it had been about 4 months since i last touched my menace and while i was here enjoying some rest i decided to take it out for a spin. i had a friend who wanted to see how the rifle performed and placed a plate at 120m since he had heard about its potential. he didnt give me time to recheck my zero so i filled up to 200bar, ran the turret 6.3Mils and 1.2Mils left windage for the 5mile/hour wind and sent the first one down range, connected right away, a grin on my face and sent down another 3 averaging a group of 3" at 120m. ive done better but the Menace performed as it did in Summer in the scorching heat. after that i ranged the closest rock at 35m, rezeroed the turret till it stopped turning since i now installed the Zero Stop, sent another one down range and the rock went flying.

these two were shot with the same wind dope but we had an increase in wind by about 2mile/hour and it resulted in hits to the right, very constant in windage and i cannot complain about the elevation, less that 10ft/s spread on those shots.

we then ranged a 100m 4" rock, dialed in the neccessary elevation and windage and we got a hit at 5 oclock about 1.5" from POA.

to complete it we ranged another at 140m sent two shots at the plate, one was slightly low and right about 2.5" from Aiming mark, corrected and the next shot was 1" from POA.

last group we shot at a stone ranged 70m away, we shot 6 and resulted in a 2" group. the newcomer was surprised especially when he found out he had even hit a cigarette packet at 120m on his 4th shot. my infinity again performed flawlessly and the Menace takes 60% of the Merit. it gives me a satisfaction and a sense of trust in it.
