    pesting with the HW30

    After bringing the local red squirrel population under control this winter with the HW30, the "black hole" effect is starting to take effect. Prime, unoccupied habitat is calling to the local reds. A quick walk about this morning and the little HW30 was 2 for 2. One shot drops. I am noticing...

    HW30s pellet testing continued

    I received more pellets so today I continued testing pellets in the new HW30s. It has a Vortek PG4 tune kit and seal in it. The gun has about 500 shots through it, about 300 since the tune. I think it is just beginning to settle in. It has a Bugbuster 3-12x on it. Today was 28 degrees, no wind...

    HW30s pellet testing

    After shooting the little HW30s a couple hundred rounds I stripped it down, cleaned it, deburred it and dropped a Vortek PG4 kit and seal into it, very lightly lubed, put moly on the rest of the right places. The initial galling by the cocking arm has been completely solved by my earlier work of...

    Why did I come back to springers?

    It started simply enough, I needed a air rifle for some pest control, having a large garden, a small orchard and a large blueberry plot down by the lake. Continuing to use the 22 lr was just too risky, with the increasing numbers of people and homes in the area. I had grown up with Spring guns...
