There are some darn good deals on specials and pre-owned on AOA this weekend. I scored an HW35E.

.177. I’m not wasting 2000 pellets to break it in. If it shoots that bad, it will get a new spring kit. 2000 pellets can cost $60. That will cover a good deal of the kit cost.

I said I would never do it, but that damn July 4th sale at AOA got me. An HW35E is on the way to join my other HW rifles. I have to see if it lives up to all the good ( and bad) things y’all say about them.

I’m guilty of all those things. Being a competition shooter, my Impact is set up to shoot pellets at 80 fpe. It’s kinda necessary to be accurate in windy conditions. I’ve messed with slugs and don’t like them. You have to tune the rifle for way more power and constantly experiment with...

There is a difference between “I want” and “ I need”. If you saw the list high end airguns I’ve had over the years you might understand where I’m coming from. Everything has been less than $2500, and I just can’t swallow the quantum leap to $3500-4000.

I can afford it, but why throw my money away?

Remove the reg and replace the O ring down inside the block. While you’re at it, rebuild the reg with all new O rings.

I don’t think the Black Wolf is any more accurate than other high end rifles. So, other than owning the latest and greatest, why buy one?

I have a compact Wildcat Mk3 but I really like my VP. Perfect barrel length. I replaced the 400cc aluminum tank with a 480cc CF tank and saved 10 oz in weight plus I have a little more air.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I don’t like changing calibers and re-tuning, that’s why I have 15 air rifles. I tried tuning a Crown fom a high power down to .177. It was a disaster. Reg failed because of drastic change from 150 to 90 bar.

FX Maverick or Wildcat MK3 which is the same gun essentially. You have a choice of 3 barrel lengths. I personally prefer the VP with the 600 mm barrel but I replaced the 400 cc tank with a 480 cc CF tank and saved 10 oz in weight plus gained a bit more capacity. The VP is compact enough but...

McDonalds has some soda straws that might fit.

I assume the Swedes at FX purchase some parts from foreign suppliers. Air tanks from Korea, regulators from UK, stocks from Italy or Turkey. Do they also pay tariffs to those countries??

Sale? Hah!

Do the English have to pay tariffs to the Germans, Italians and Koreans?

The best things to do is contact Tom at Vortek, or Macarri and ask them. Better yet, go on the English airgun forum and ask the Brits. There's a wealth of information there on springers, especially old ones. https://airgunforums.co.uk/

Bet it doesn't have the original spring.

The M3 is a fine rifle. I use mine for 100 yd BR shooting. I likes AEA 45 gr pellets. I have not succumbed to the urge to fiddle fart with all of the knobs on this thing. Just enough to adjust the velocity to the sweet spot of 885 fps. The only significant difference between this and the M4...
