    HW/Weihrauch Best optics for .177 HW44 and older eyes (maybe some magnification)

    I got my .177 HW 44 and ROMEO5 assembled and sighted in today at 20 yards. Its shooting JSB 8.44s at 825 fps for a kill zone of 1/4" from 17 to 34 yards. It is FAR more accurate than I can shoot. I built a homemade shooting rest and with that I can shoot ~1/2" groups at 20 yards if I'm patient...

    Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure that's the one I got. I just saw a video of the counterfeit problem right after I bought mine so I'm ready to check it out thoroughly when it arrives!

    wgd: After further research, I've decided to go with your suggestion of the Sig Sauer ROMEO5. The reviews and price with your recommendation convinced me to at least give it a try! Thanks.

    HW/Weihrauch Best optics for .177 HW44 and older eyes (maybe some magnification)

    I did that with the last pistol I had but I want to keep this as a pistol so I can walk around in my back yard without arousing too much concern from neighbors. Plus, I've never shot a really accurate pcp pistol before and I want to give that a try but I want every advantage I can get sight wise.

    HW/Weihrauch Best optics for .177 HW44 and older eyes (maybe some magnification)

    I am in the same boat age and eye sight wise! I will give this a look. I've never used a red dot before so I may be thinking wrong in needing magnification. I know with all my scopes I always use the most magnification available.

    HW/Weihrauch Best optics for .177 HW44 and older eyes (maybe some magnification)

    In my case I think I will probably always brace the pistol in some fashion and my eye will be roughly 14" or so from the optic.

    Thanks. I'm looking through Optics Planet. I want magnification and light weight if possible.

    HW/Weihrauch Best optics for .177 HW44 and older eyes (maybe some magnification)

    I just purchased a .177 Weihrauch HW44 PCP pistol with the Weihrauch 2x20 Pistol Scope from AoA. Now I'm having second thoughts since that's very little magnification for my old eyes. I'm open to suggestions from anyone. I will be pesting at 20 to 40 yards (mostly 25-30). I have a little time to...

    Good Out of the Box Shooters (PCPs) - Share Your Experiences

    I have one in .177 and it's very nice. Accurate, quiet, silky smooth lever. I have the .22 Brocock Compatto Sniper XR, too. I prefer the Huntsman for target and the Brocock for hunting.

    Brocock/BRK New .22 Brocock Compatto Sniper XR

    I'll try to clear some things up here that were very confusing to me. I think I remember getting around 35-40 good shots at that power level starting at 250 bar down to about 150 bar. The confusing thing is the fill pressure. There are several different fill pressures floating around out there...

    Brocock/BRK New .22 Brocock Compatto Sniper XR

    I got 850 fps on high power with the JSB 18.13s and it was very accurate but I didn't want 30fpe in my back yard. I got the Compatto Sniper XR version which is the regulated version. You can still get unregulated if you want. This regulator is excellent!!! On the lighter weight pellets the...

    Brocock/BRK New .22 Brocock Compatto Sniper XR

    Just got my .22 cal Brocock Compatto Sniper XR from AoA Wednesday. I didn't know anything about Brocock except it is a sister company to Daystate and as of late they may be sharing some technology. So, I took a chance on the Compatto and so far I'm happy with it. I wanted a rifle that was short...

    PCP Pistol WTB Benjamin Marauder Woods Walker Pistol

    I'm looking for a Benjamin Marauder Woods Walker in .22 for my Grandson. Will settle for a plain marauder pistol if in good condition.

    Taipan Hopefully fixing my Taipan Veteran .25 leak with o-rings and Huma-Air regulator

    After installing the Huma-Air regulator, I started with 145 bar, then changed to 130 bar for fun, then went back up to 140 bar where I finally settled. The max speed I could get was 950 fps and 95% of that was 902.5 fps. I got a pretty good group at about 904 fps and I'm sticking with it. That's...

    Taipan Hopefully fixing my Taipan Veteran .25 leak with o-rings and Huma-Air regulator

    As of now, the air is holding steady at 250 bar. Tomorrow I will tune it and get it back in service in time for spring garden patrol.

    Taipan Hopefully fixing my Taipan Veteran .25 leak with o-rings and Huma-Air regulator

    OK. I finally got the o-ring (#99) out and replaced it but not until after taking out the valve and lapping the valve seal to the face of the valve with some Tormek polish I had. In the meantime, my Huma-Air regulator showed up. The only problem was their plenum was not long enough so I had an...

    Taipan Hopefully fixing my Taipan Veteran .25 leak with o-rings and Huma-Air regulator

    I want to try lapping the valve seal and the face of the valve but I can't figure out how to remove the valve face. I removed the hammer but I can't figure out how to remove the valve face that the valve seal goes through. It won't move forward or backward even after removing the set screw...
