My BBX 357 Journey
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2024 5:45 pm
I picked up my Big Boy X last week and got a chance to try it out today. I am rather impressed.
I figured I could create a thread to document my journey with it. I bought it because as I get older, I wanted something to keep handy for four and two legged predators that was easier to handle.
I added a Skinner low profile rail and an Athlon Midas LE red dot. The Midas is the previous generation, so it was dirt cheap from the Athlon outlet. Added a X300 light, paracord sling, and wrapped the handle in black paracord. I wanted the wrap tighter, so I removed the inner stings. I think it turned out well.
Still getting my reload supplies together, so I tried some Federal American Eagle 158 JSP. It shot rather well.
It took a bit to get the sight dialed as it was shooting pretty low, and I over corrected. The one target has a few holes in it, I shot the one to see if I was close at 50, then shot one at 100, and moved back to fifty and shot 4 more. The 4 touching are the last 4.
All in all, pretty happy with it.
On Target says the 4 shot group is .994 MOA
100 yard target. On target says hole is .541 from point of aim.
