HW90. Just put a .22 barrel on it. Converted from .177. Have enough .177 break barrels Iron sites because it is a scope eater, lol.

I’ve got 2 90’s, never because they are factory powered. I just haven’t had time to spend with them. One day I’ll try the gauge and pump when I can give it a full day.
You say their scope eaters.
Will an Air Max or Element stand up to them?

Get out of town! No C&C machines back in the day. Look at the machining. Masterpiece. Thanks for sharing. Crow
A few of you guys are lucky enough to own a 55. Sweet. Nice guns, enjoy. Crow

The machining is what impressed me too! Notice how one of the screws on one part (I don't know what to call it?) is staked with two witness marks. To think that's almost hundred years old, never been poorly taken apart, well used but never been rusted!

Every thing I have read on several forums says unless you spend $800 on a scope that will withstand a BMG 50 Cal, forget it. LOL. Mine has eaten 4 scopes. They were replaced via manufacturer warranty. Happy with the iron sights now but will explore the red dot option next.

I just bought one of Hector Medina’s Accurized Bullseye ZR mounts for my Diana 52L. Loving it so far. Might be worth asking him about.

Open sights day here today too. Kim’s HW30S Deluxe and my Diana 34. Something has been rooting in her gardens, looks like probably an armadillo. Generally only see them early morning or late night and they’re not usually accommodating enough the wait the 45 minutes it takes for a scope to defog around here. Lot of our pests get controlled with open sights because of that. She’s PO’d about her gardens and has gotten awfully good with her HW30. Whatever it is, I think it’s in trouble.

nice day, 88F, mostly calm wind (not bad for Autumn in Oregon). took the Daisy single-stroke 753 out to test more ammo.
trying to find THE ones for 25Y. those FTTs work in just about anything. 🎯 the RWS MKs are nice too, for shorter distances.
but still, not perfect. 💪 the gun can do better. but i have more time than ammo. :)

Just came in from nite shooting again with the HW30 .22. So easy to watch the shot because the lites lite up the skirt of pellet. Really cool to watch. Accurate is an understatement. Almost sorry for the pest. Days are numbered. Crow
