Dirty Thirty! Show us your cool HW30s/R-7s!

[Pizzaman2976]

I know there are a million threads like this but I've seen those already! 

Let's see all the cool ones you guys have been hiding! 

Here's a .20 with Macari tuned and chopped by John in PA. H&N FTT 11.42 at 540 fps

on top is my Beeman R7 177 & on the bottom HW30 .177. Both are excellent shooters.

This one's going with me to our farm tomorrow. Several young adults will get to shoot it with me. I scored it in an online auction for a very nice price and it arrived in new condition. I removed the RWS scope it wore and replaced it with a nice vintage Bushnell Sportview in steel Burris rings. The wood on this gun is pretty nice for beech IMO.

Had this one since mid 80's when some interesting beech was sometimes used. From a local sporting goods store/ Beeman dealer. I think it was $189 then. Beeman sport sight and trigger shoe.

Has been with me for close to 25 years now.

 

[Pizzaman2976]

Awesome! I like the vintage stocks. I know they're beech too but they look like a nice deeper wood to me.

What kinda scope is on the top one? They look like a fun pair!

R7 with Maccari tune kit.

Mine has the Air rifle headquarters indoor shooting kit. So it is only shooting at 425 fps, but it’s so smooth and there’s virtually no bump in the shot cycle. Tuned by John in Pa. It’s one hole at 15 yards and a pleasure to shoot.

Dude those are pretty sweet! I like the single bkls on top do they have any creep with the single straps? I like the look. 

 

[Rob_in_NC]

Thank you, sir... No creep at all. Both guns are tuned, top by me and bottom by Paul Watts. Those BKL's wont budge!

Don't consider it cool, but one of the 2 Beeman R7's I own. Newer .177 bought version bought from a member on another forum. Scope is a Hawke Airmax 3-9x40 in Hawke medium rings. Because I got the feeler gauges out, there's exactly .005 between the bottom of the AO ring and the receiver and just enough room to slide the lens cover on. While I didn't need to take the open sights off since there was no ghost of them in the scope, I did to make use of the ARH Apex muzzle weight I've had sitting in the parts box for a year and a half. He stopped selling them not long after I got mine so while it may not be the absolute last one, it's close...lol.

I also have an older Huntington Beach era in .20 cal I won on an Ebay auction. That one got left alone except for another Airmax 3-9x40 so nothing at all fancy or tricked out about it.

Duplicate post deleted. Forum lag dumped me in a Gateway Time out error.

Hi Pizzaman, the scope on top is older BSA 3x9. I bought the gun from fellow member, came with scope. It works well for the gun- and both are fun to shoot.
