I want to buy 2-3 more rifles and be done with it. But in this case, it will definitely not be possible to make a good deal.

I feel the same…if I see something I like ( pretty much older stuff) I buy it. Too old to shop around for a deal on a rifle that hasn’t been made in 40 years…good luck with your mission. John

@NAProf How do you know that the problem was your Hawke scope and not the lower ambient air temp affecting the compressed air in your airgun? It seems to me that If the issue remedied itself when the temp warmed up, it seems that your zero was accurate if you zeroed the scope in warmer weather.

Hi Ezana4CE,
I think I did not explain myself very well. I noticed the problem because I was practicing for Field Target (Hunter Class). I have a bunch of targets set up at a variety of ranges on tree, posts stumps, etc that I practice ranging before shooting. It was not the shooting part that was the problem, it was the ranging part. I have very carefully measured and recorded the ranges to all the targets from my two shooting positions. That way I can keep practicing my ranging until I get it right - before shooting.

I expect that what happened is the low temperature caused a component of the scope's parallax adjustment system became affected. All my ranges were off significantly. I should also say that when this happened, I got out my other two rifles with different scopes and tried the same thing. I left them outside for an hour and then range with them. Both rifles, one with the Heras SPR 6-24x56 and the other with a Falcon X50FT 10-50x60 did not experience a ranging problem.

The obvious conclusion is that some part in the mechanical part of the Hawk system changed length or shape enough to affect the parallax adjustment.

Cheers,
Greg

You just need to take out the back trigger guard screw and remove the guard then you can get to the adjustment.

Thanks Dan. Those were shot with low BC pellets and not slugs too. Trying to put some practice in before PAC.

Wow! That .177 slug did quite a number on that iggies dome! Holy moly! Who needs larger calibers.... Awesome shooting and pics!

I like the CR better than the Diana because I don't care for the moderator. I bought one NIB (Mrodair) in an auction for $100 and never opened the package. I know I'm gonna like it. Just haven't.
I kinda like the 99 but not sure. Is it a Savage 99 replica with a hammer?

And this one too

Nice looking rifles. Really like the wood on the Walther LGV.

They come as a pair

How does the H&N perform on your Vet2?

Click to expand...

Well....accuracy was not as expected with the H&N 21gr .218 slugs but, the AVS 20gr .2183 slugs are what I was looking for, super accurate! They are more costly but a softer lead that maybe works for mines barrel. Shooting them @ 930-ish.

Are you talking about #4

Very nice collection you have. Love the sporterized FWBs. I live in California. I don't call mine wall hangers, I call mine safe standers or safe queens because they're locked up all the time. Like you, I get around to shooting each one sooner or later, usually much later. Wish I had a vault so I could hang them on the wall and enjoy looking them.

I think that's pretty good for 100 yds. I have rimfires that don't shoot those groups.

Thanks, your response is appreciated

I am east of Glen Rose. Plenty of room to shoot.

Keeping my .457 Carbine. Does all I need it to do. The Tex Rex would give me nothing other than bragging rights at this point.

Love my 457ss but a bit longer in a blind

i would like to upgrade my Texan Tx2 Valve at 3625psi to the new T rex valve at 4500 psi for my Texan .510... 4500 psi has more power than 3625 psi.. For me id like more fps...820 fps kinda slow

I can only think of the Benjamin bulldog that has a 5 shot magazine, but those are in .257, .357 and .457. You wouldn’t happen to have a pic of it or know the model Benjamin it is?

The problem with a good deal is sometimes you buy because it's a good deal and not because you really wanted the item. Afterwards you wish you hadn't bought it. I have a few of those.

I've also over paid a few times because I really wanted something and I never had buyer's remorse afterwards. I'll regret underpaying for something I didn't really want long before I regret over paying for something I really did want.

I do draw a line though and have passed up things I really wanted because the prices, usually on auction sites, just got ridiculous. I don't have bottomless pockets.

another great find for you . Next you will need Valet Service from you gun room to your shooting stand

Thanks, I couldn’t say no.
Ha ha. Don’t need valet. I have an elevator to transport up and down. Can take several. Crow

Love those Feinwerkbau's ! I got my first back in either late 1974 or early 75, shortly after I got back from a military tour in Turkey. Picked up a 300s about ten years later, the just a few years back really got started. I got two of the newer Sport models. I had one for the better part of a year when I learned they were discontinuing them and I found a dealer with some NIB at a good price. Early this year I got a 602 Meistergrade, and then two of the 150's over the last couple of months. Let's not forget two each of the model 65 and 80 pistols.

That 602 action is rather unique, especially the dry firing feature. Two downsides, it is really heavy or at least seems much heaver than the 150 and 300, and the cocking or charging effort is much harder.

I wasn’t into guns back in the day, period. Didn’t hunt like my brother and dad. Thought Diana was one of only pellet gun companies around. Had a few 24’s. Had no idea about FWB’s or any others. You have 50 years on me. Lucky
I haven’t spent much time looking at these FWB’s, but what I have seen is stunning. Perfection.
A 124 is on my bucket list.
What happened to these guns? Did PCP replace these?
