Interesting. I’ve not yet had the need or desire to try different pellets because the JSB’s are so accurate and consistent in this particular gun.

What he said and a good backstop behind the feeder would make the 7 fpe HW30 a great option, imo. Wadcutters or the Uber light 5 grain “green”/non-lead pellets to minimize over penetration and ricocheting.

I don’t think my feathers are flared but I disagree…with the caveat that you are free to have whatever opinion you want! My HW30 in .177 is not only one of my most accurate springers at 20 yards but maybe also the least hold sensitive. Using the JSB 7.33’s and a quality 9X optic, at 20 yards I...

I’ve found MPBR to be a significant aspect of a hunting weapon. Wild critters just don’t often sit still and pose at one distance…simplicity and speed are keys to an accurate shot and dead animal.

I’m waiting for the 3-12…trying to decide if I want lrf or not.

I'm 90% sure this is the cause of my issues as the linkage has no "wiggle" in lockup. I need to take the stock off for a closer look. Thank you!

The HW98 is what has barrel droop in this case. How does one “adjust” the barrel upwards without damaging it or causing wandering POI problems down the road? Doesn’t the lockup mechanism have strict tolerances?

What causes barrel droop and how might I fix it? Its pretty bad on my break barrel Weihrauch.

I’m really loving mine on my HW 98 right now. The locking turrets are great. I also like that the mil reticle is true at 10X(sfp). It only took three shots to get sighted in and the tracking seems perfect.

The Hawke Frontier SF 3-15x44 Mil Pro is on sale at camerlandny right now for a pretty good deal. It's a great deal for $385 imo, Frontier is Hawke's flagship line

If the Cronus has a 34mm tube and 56mm objective, which I believe it does...it will be difficult to find a comparable scope that is much lighter...there are physical parameters in scope design. If you are ok with a 30mm tube and 50mm objective, it is a different story altogether. I'm currently...

That’s cool. What app is that?

PBR is Point Blank Range...the flatter your trajectory the wider is your PBR. What distances you can hold dead on without any holdover...

Idk, a 22 grain Hybrid HP slug at 950 fps makes a pretty loud POP on a house sparrow! Its so loud that I can't do it in my backyard because of my neighbors across the road. It literally sounds like a .22 short going off.

I'm a Weihrauch springer fanboy and proud of it. I've owned and shot the HW 97K, 50S, 30S, and 98. All of them are in .177. I like .177 caliber because of the faster velocities, flatter trajectories(at reasonable springer distances), and reduced dwell time. My primary reasons for owning a...
