Beeman HW97K .20 accuracy

Well folks, here is another thread about .20 cal. and why I love 'em. The ones I have just plain SHOOT!

This is a Huntington Beach Beeman HW97K. I shot this 2-shot group, adjusted my POI then shot this 5-shot 1/4" c.t.c. group from exactly 25 yds. today with JSB 13.73's., sitting on a stool and resting the gun on an adjustable bipod. Not all my spring guns are as forgiving when rested on a bipod but this one doesn't seem to mind.

This gun is not "tuned". I got it at a show a little over a year ago and doubt it had ever been fired. It was full of grease, went BANG! when I tried it at home and generated 18 fpe! Cleaned it, lubed it lightly, put in a new Vortek seal and reassembled.

I'd prefer if the faster, flatter shooting H&N 11.42's shot this well but the group I fired with H&N's before these groups went into a 1/2" c.t.c 10 shot group.

This gun keeps proving to be a keeper.

@r1lover - That is a sweet rifle. This winter has been full of windy weekends so only PCP's. Looking forward to dusting off the HW97k .20 and taking out some cans. The rifle shines with a Vortek kit!
I dusted all my springers off this last weekend. It's almost pesting season here in Michigan and these buggers will be poking there heads out soon!

HW 97K was my first springer . shot a few and sent it off to John in PA . Simply said "under 12 FPE and as smooth of a shot as you can make it ."
Hw97K came back @ 11.6 FPE and very smooth shot cycle . I have never missed a brain shot squirrel . I have never aimed a vitals point , only brain dead.

Wow , it’s really accurate my friend !
 
Yesterday was a beautiful day for a shoot, but I shot the 95. It's been a while since I pulled out the 97k. I will be busy from now till Sunday evening so maby then.

I am awaiting delivery of my HW97K walnut in .22. Now I need advice on scope and mounts. I decided on a $300.00 budget for the scope. No hunting just target and plinking.

For me, I like to go on the budget friendly route , DiscoverOpt and Vector optics ,
You should check them out, really nice scopes for a fair price and great for plicking, Arken got some good deals when they have a sale !
