Love the muzzle end on the 87. Crow
I was testing pellet specs with the TX200. I was using 5 shot groups. I have been shooting AA Field Heavies 10.3 in 4.52mm for some time. However the last couple of batches have seemed less consistent. The weights are consistent but the size has been less so. I tried weight sorted, weight sorted and lubed, and weight sorted and head sized. The weight sorted and head sized were far more consistent at 50 feet 16.6 yards) than other options last night. The "old" batch of weight sorted and lubed I use to check things against were the only other batch that was in the game. Other than the "old" all the rest are from the same lot.

Your gun makes me weak in the knee. Most desired gun. I really like what you did to yours. Hopefully one day. Enjoy. Crow

The muzzle baffle on the 87 makes it sound like a mouse fart.

Quick zero with HW35E at 10M now that MB is gone and sights re-installed. Remounted scope. Some barrel droop, will have to shim or go to adjustable mount. Save that for later. Was too hot and humid to do any more.

Went to our family farm and we all were picnicking. Some brothers and sisters mostly in our 60's. A couple little ones. Down at the 4 acre pond. Our youngest son (18) brought 4 boys along to dig the outdoors. Our two older sons came out to fly a drone around the beautiful country setting. I always get a kick out of taking suburban kids out in the country where the can split a little kindling, build a campfire, cook over it after it burns down to coals. Hot dogs, baked beans heated in the can, sausages, baked potatoes in foil. And all kinds of home made picnic food. They always appreciate being taught how to do it. And the experience.
The boys are really decent young men so I broke out a Crosman 150 and they all took turns plinking a soda can and a water bottle with it. This is very rural 200 acres and 200 yards from the house so plenty of space to shoot a few pellets. Totally laid back just like many of us experienced growing up in the 60's and 70's. Those boys are shooting a pellet pistol!!!!! :oops:😦😧😮 So WHAT? They're boys. Duh.🙂
Afterwords things settled down and some had gone home. I caught a few bass in the pond with a cute little toddler tagging along with me for company.
Then broke out my .25 Webley Tomahawk and starting wapping a soda can and a water bottle at about 30 yards off hand. This baby launches JSB Kings at 700 fps so when it hits the water bottle it whops. And the Tommy loves being a .25. It shoots so nice in the caliber. Smoother than my Slade tuned .22 Tommy. They should have made a hundred thousand of them but you know where Webley went....... FLUSH! A REAL shame. I think you would love to own and shoot one of these. . Then it was time to gather everything up and head home to our house 50 minutes away.
10 brothers and sisters (48-68) in our family. BIG family picnic and camp out weekend at the pond in 3 weeks! A blessing

I was able to work on the zero with the new scope mount. I got it close at 15 yards inside and then moved to the outdoor 25 yard range. My first three shot group was about 4 inches high, so I came down 64 clicks. The next group was mostly centered around the aiming point but disappointing at about 2 1/2 inches. I am still thinking the scope is part of the problem. I am still waiting for shipping confirmation for the Hawke scope so I can start all over again.
The Hawke arrived today. I got it mounted on the Ruger and will zero it tomorrow at the range. It looks promising. I will advise how it goes.
 
Just finished evenings chores, fed the horse and shot My new old stock Marksman 740 youth break barrell.

Sweet rifle. Crow
 
Went to doctors for check. He asked for urine, blood and stool samples. I just gave him my shorts!
On way home AGS had a road block and I picked up 2 Air Max’s, 3x9 and 4x12.
Managed to shoot a HW98 .177 and a HW90 .20.

The mark above trigger is that bloody blue paint I had 2 cans, still haunting me. Fantastic gun. Have t get one in .20 cal.

This 90 is second to none. An absolute pleasure to shoot.

Wonder if you could heat gently with a heat gun and remove?
