    What springer did you shoot today?

    Thanks guys for your words of encouragement. As of 6.15am this morning Alfred is 65 kilometres off the coast and has been down graded to a tropical low. So far over 239000 properties have lost power and a lot more is expected. Wind gusts are in the 60 to 100k’s an hour. Many many people have and...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Alfred will hit the coast early on Saturday (that’s tomorrow our time)morning as a category 2 cyclone, however the system is unusually expansive and will affect about 4.5 million people. We live about 15 minutes from Rainbow beach and we are about 2 minutes as the crow flys from the bay and...

    Beeman Does anybody NOT not like .22 HW barrels?

    No issues at all, I must be lucky, I own 4 air rifles all 22 cal. two of them are a Hw50S and a Hw77 Stainless. I have read many posts about people complaining how loose the pellets fit and bad accuracy. My two are very accurate with no pellet fitting issues but I will say they are both more...

    Other The elusive LGU

    The Titan was my first air rifle since I was a boy. I spent a lot of time transforming it into a very reliable accurate hunter and plinker. Some of the transformations were, trigger bearing, lightly polishing of the sear, new stronger indent spring, new brass pivot washers, new breach seal, new...

    Other The elusive LGU

    Found this just now. Only $550 Aus. If I had room in my safe I’d buy it in a heart beat but my safe only holds 4 rifles and I don’t want anymore then four. I’d have to trade one. I’m not going to trade my LGV Challenger or my Hw77 Stainless or my Hw50S. The only one left is my Benjamin Titan. Oh...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Crow the Thoracic specialist is calling me this arvo. I had three biopsies through my back into my lung and I get the results from him. I also have a small cancer at the back of my nasal passage and a precancerous lesion on one of my vocal cords. Its all go but in the wrong direction, fingers...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Yes they have. My Hw77 stainless originally had the black synthetic stock and they swapped a wood stock for me. Gary

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Haven’t shot my air rifles for a couple of weeks, seeing scores of doctors, bloody cancer has come back. Any how we have had an Army grub invasion so I poisoned. Worked a treat but the Indian miner birds, an introduced pest in Australia thought it was a free lunch and descended in droves. I but...

    All of a sudden I’m being logged out.

    As the title says I’m now finding out that I’m logged out on a daily basis. Starting to p**s me off. My password is now permanently etched in my brain.🤬 Gary

    HW30 Woes

    G’day Al that was five years ago but I recall I used my trusty t-bar sash clamp held in a vice. I also used two small pieces of pine at each end as to not damage the metal. Gary

    I had to lookup what this walleye fish looked like that you guys were talking about.They look like our Aussie native fish on steroids lol. When we were kids we’d catch the gudgeons in the creek and put them in our fish tanks. Walleye Gudgeon

    HW30 Woes

    Hi Hi Al, my 77 is stock, didn’t even clean the barrel when I bought it new. The scope on the 77 is this video was not an airmax, but now it wears4*12*40. This rifle is my best distance pest exterminator. Love the heat. Gary

    HW30 Woes

    G’day fullpower that’s a good question. On some days the 50 will put 10 pellets in a one cent piece (Australian) at 25 metres and on other days the 77 will out shoot it. If the scopes I have on both rifles, Hawk Airmax are aligned with the gods then id say the 50 is a smidge better at 25 metres...

    HW30 Woes

    Thankyou. My Hw50S is in my humble opinion more accurate than the lemon Hw30. This may upset some of the 30 fans but my experiences with both rifles even when the 30 was performing as spec was that my and I repeat my 50 is more accurate. Now this accuracy claim has come about with experimenting...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    No worries on the comment. Reading your post again one of the issues I had with the lemon was barrel lock up. Check by tapping down on the barrel after cocking if there is any movement there is a problem with the detent. That’s one of the many issues mine had. Some say that the detent issue will...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    I had one once, I will never buy another one. In the end the cocking shoe/arm broke.🍋. Replaced it with a HW 50S, never looked back.

    HW30 Woes

    I took it back to the shop. I had it replaced with a Hw50S in 22 cal. Never looked back, a great rifle that loves the H@N Baracuda Greens 12.65 gr. Some people complain about the cocking effort for this rifle but honestly I have shot this rifle for hours with no effect. Gary
