It actually shoots good at 20 yards. But that's what I expected. I luckily got one with a good barrel. Shooting crosman pellets. What pellets do yours like?

Pulled out my Chinese B-3 rifles, the one painted green is @15-18 yrs old and .177 and was bought from the Cummins tool truck, it's shooting @ 5ftlb. The other two are both .22 with the only difference being one has a rubber butt pad which gives it a longer length of pull which is nice. Chrono'd these two and they are shooting @320fps with Hobbies which is way low, like 3ftlb. Gonna have to tear these down and do some tuning as they should be at least 5ftlb and more like 6 if shooting well.

Started day with FWB 124 this morning. Stood at 30 yards and wore a can out. Ended evening with HW45 and Hatsan 135 Vortex that hadn’t been shot lately. Kim shot her 2240 carbine. Wore out some cans. And some chalk targets. Beautiful weather finally, hoping to get some real shooting in tomorrow.

Spent a very short time shooting my HW77K and my HW35E, both in .22 caliber. A fine pair of HW rifles. Charles

It was drying up as it aproached on radar.
We got a few light, hit or miss showers.
When it does come, Ill probably wish it was dry.

I wish I could find a place close by to go shoot my Beeman Kodiak in .25. I’ve had it since 1996. It was the world’s most powerful conventional mainspring air rifle in its day. Some may know it as the Patriot, but it couldn’t have as much power in the UK as it does in USA. It’s a really cool springer.

Finally free and it’s raining. 43 F. I scooped 4 rifles for a morning shoot. First up Diana 350 mag. .22 cal. What an accurate power house.
Te 350 was wracking targets easily at 50 yds. Enjoying this gun. Next up a HW98 .22 with a Vortek spring. Just a pleasure to shoot.
Such a clean sound. Love the ease of the 98.
This next beauty, a Walther LGU Varmite .22
Thia gun is to die for. So sad not available. Love to get a LGV or 2. Precision comes natural with this thumbhole. This is the last one sold in Canada. Lucky I got it.
Last up a HW97 .25. I could shoot a cigarette out of a flies mouth. 25 - 35 yds. this gun is one of my favorites to shoot.
And a thumbhole to boot. Great gun. Crow

Spent most of the afternoon shooting two air rifles, one a springer and the other a Benjamin 445 of 500 model 392PA, and my favorite model HW30S in .22 caliber. Charles

I was given a Hatsan Model 95. The person that gave it to me had given up because the barrel would wobble and not lock up tight. I fabricated a couple of brass shims for it. I also noticed there was a part broken in the trigger group. This part is not really needed in a Quattro trigger. So I also fabricated a bushing to replace the broken part. The gun is working. Took the rifle out and shot it a few times. Tomorrow will sight it in and give it a workout.
