Still very new to airguns. I have a 43 yr old Crosman American Classic and a two month old HW30s. I have very limited knowledge of the way these guns work. It is a bit scary to me that an HW airgun just a few months old can have the spring break. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so to speak...

If you want a Springer for plinking the HW30 is probably the ideal choice!

I like the overall quality of the HW30 - the finish on the stock, the bluing on the metal is all very nice. How do I like shooting it? It is, I believe, the lowest "power" of the HW Air Rifles, which for me is a good thing. I just do plinking so I did not need an Air Rifle that would shoot...

Thanks for reading this and answering my question. I get a little long winded on here so I will work on cutting back. What are "dry pivot joints", or just what are "pivot joints"?

I have two air rifles: a 43 year old Crosman 766 American Classic. I bought it new and it's never needed anything except 3 drops of light machine oil on the tiny felt patch that is easily accessible. Recently I bought a HW30s. I read on this forum 30 to 45 minutes daily and although I started...

Checked for barrel droop two ways - one using a steel 30 inch carpenters right angle square. Not barrel droop.Took the suggestion above to loosen the front sight screw and when I did i barely detected it moving. With light pressureI pushing itto place I tightened the screw. This made a big...

If I could sit down with my rifle and most of you that shoot Springers I could quickly explain my problem. Explaining it here might challenge me but here goes... On Oct 28 I received a new HW130 shipped to me by Krale in Belgium. They doubled boxed it. The outer box was in bad shape when I...

There is a hunting club about half an hour from home and I am going to try to talk to people that own and run that club. There are huge numbers of deer and black bear (wild turkey, fox, bobcat, and on and on but most hunters are after deer or bear) so it would not be safe during hunting season...

Stormin-Normin Strictly hypothetical question: If you had just one air rifle and it was a HW30s in .177 cal, and you used it for plinking and a little target shooting at 25 to 50 yards which Hawke scope would you put on it? (Most of the target shooting would be at 30 yards/) One gun & One...

I live in a patio home community. Small houses with very small yards and neighbors close on both sides. It is against the law to shoot an Air Rifle in the city limits - and I am in the city limits. If in violation of the ordinance and convicted they confiscate the offending rifle and other...

I am new to Air Rifles with one rifle: HW30s. Before I bought this rifle I looked into places to shoot. About 40 miles from my home is the Holly Shelter Game Lands - thousands of acres of game lands in Eastern North Carolina. They have a "Shooting Range" there that's closed Monday and Tuesday...

What a range! There's nothing even close to that anywhere near where I live. I have only had my WH30 about a week but I too was trying to find out how accurate it is at distance and the consensus is on a calm day somewhere between 50 yards and 70 yards. 50 yards is good for me!

Thanks for the info. It's very helpful to me as I am new to all of this!

New here with my first Air Rifle - a WH30s. I only want to use this rifle for plinking and a very little bit of target shooting. I have vision issues in my right eye so I was thinking about other options to "sight" my target other than the standard iron sights that come on the rifle. I know...

If I have time to go shoot some but it's a bit windy can my HW 30s handle a slightly heavier pellet or does the small .177 cal of the rifle limit the pellet grain weight so much it just can't shoot distances in the wind? Say I had some 8.4 (I think there's a .17 cal pellet with that grain...
