Real dirty here today. Toronto has the most polluted air on the planet today.
This is crazy.
And stink. Cairo Egypt wasn’t this bad. Crow Watched 3 mink run along the shore earlier.
This is crazy.

Mounted a Hawke 2-7 Vantage on the plain-jane Crosman Vantage .22 and got her zeroed in the living room. Oh yeah, baby, I'm livin' large!

Beautiful rifle. Just got one. Crow
That’s a sweet setup. Crow

Tonite is 4 of a kind. 4 - HW 50’s. 2-.177’s, .20 and .22. The .20 is new with no scope. 
All guns were exceptional. Hitting a 2 inch spinner 32 yds with .20 with iron sights. This .20 cal. is already promising. Great round. Crow

Got some time in before the heat, humidity, and Ontario smoke screen could get the better of me........
HW50S in .177, freshly resealed with leather piston seal and synthetic breech seal.
Stock spring and guide, rear piston skirt buttoned, piston liner, and just enough tar to keep things slicked up.
HW35 in .177, purchased at the Midwest Airgun Show, last weekend.
Shot it in as purchased condition, did not open it up to see what was inside, but have a good idea.
Synthetic breech seal is present, but the shot cycle feels like a leather sealed gun to me. If not, it is a VERY well balanced tune job with a synthetic piston seal??? I believe it to still have its OEM seal from 1970, or a replacement leather seal.
A complete sweet heart of a rifle to shoot!

I didn't shoot anything today. Yesterday I got one of my air rifles out and played with it in the backyard. Was plinking aluminum cans with my Hatsan .25 edge in the backyard. Those H&N field trophy targets put a big hole in the cans.

Very nice. The 35 looks like a keeper. Nice stock. Crow
Yes I do. They make them exact to the wood stock. Have the 30 and 97 in Blackline as well. Big reason is I can easily tell the difference between two .177’s. They’re all duplicates. Be a good truck gun. You can fill the stocks with different materials (densities). I do like the wood better. They also look different to my wife. Crow
Synthetic. Crow

Two this evening, l picked up a Diana 350 mag. .22. Hawke 3x9x40 scope. 
Talk about long barrel. My first few shots sounded like a rim fire. The longer barrel makes jacking it easier. Took a bit to tame the scope to the rifle. Here within first 25 shots. A 5 shot group, 35 yds.
This beast is gonna destroy tree rats.
Next up a Walthers LGU Varmint, another synthetic stock. A favorite.
Check out the difference in length of barrel on these two rifles.

Today spent some time with my MM XS25SFB / 34 clone. I've had it for five year. 1000's of shots through it. It's not only a very attractive gun but accurate and dependable.
