Interesting comments. It made me wonder what they do across the ocean? Do the pellet speed cops use a chrony? I see post about tuning to the edge of regulation. I wonder how it’s checked. Normal difference in instruments could get a person in a lot of trouble if shooting close to the limit.

I stole the term from others. I call them woodchucks. I personally have not heard them whistle, but it is an alert in chuck talk saying there is some dope around with a BB gun.

More photos? Here is a shot from a whistlepig safari this spring.

sippi math LOL

I’ll use my 177 HW95 as an example. With FTT most report that they a shooting 880ish or so. With 3 coils clipped off the spring the China device says 860. I am goo with that. My AA500 shoots 18 gr @ 910 or so. Also consistent with what I see reported on the forms. I feel comfortable with the...

$30 China device, measures in meters. It may be close based on anecdotal evidence. Use it as directional information. I know what my baselines are for the guns I have, and I only have the one “instrument.” If the actual numbers differ, it doesn’t matter in my world.

Too late, you failed.

Or is it better to wax the barrel? I am not good enough to tell the difference. I do believe it helps to reduce fouling, but can’t prove it.

The stick on the 1701 screws off in no time. I just can’t out shoot the 1741 with the 1701.

Do ya think you will be able to hit things with that one?

That looks like a pistol, Huben.

Thanks, not my idea, but well worth it as I like the ergo of it compared to the 140 and 160 stocks I have set up for this and my prod.

Actually yes the fore arm fits on the 1701 with drilling another hole in the little metal tab that is used on the prod and 1720. This one fits tight and ther is nothing holding it on. So now the 1701 looks exactly like the 1720 did in my original post. My 1720 has been living in an old 140...

I have not heard of Axeon. UTG, the Bugbuster and the Hunter series are the springer rated ones. Found that out the hard way after killing two of their best scopes…they will deny warranty. My son has a Hammers on a Gamo that hammers scopes. It’s lasted 3 years so far. I would buy another...

Well there is a lot to consider with such a decision. i have to look at this from the situation right now, not what might happen later. To shoot anything here, it must be silent. The other concern is energy. HW95 .177 makes the most sense as a do all for me. HW30 .177 almost same as the HW95...
