FWB 124 , Mancarii spring , .177 i am confident it will easily shoot 5 shots in one hole .21 when i get more time with it . Only had it a week so far and not a lot of shooting time .

Nice rig, how’s the Hawk holding up?Got a morning shoot. This favorite is so infectious it should almost be illegal. Talking about it yesterday is all it takes. HW77 .25. View attachment 402659It performed like it was the last show. Smacks the spinners with authority. I’m loving this stand, holds the rifle securely in rest. Back to work. Crow

Exact set up i use . very solid and accurate to dial the next target bull .Got a morning shoot. This favorite is so infectious it should almost be illegal. Talking about it yesterday is all it takes.

Thanks. I’ve never had a problem with a Hawk scope breaking down. Probably have 30.Nice rig, how’s the Hawk holding up?
I’m liking it more every time I use it.Exact set up i use . very solid and accurate to dial the next target bull .
Look after your knees I’ve got two that are buggered.today was a "rest my knee day" twisted it a while ago . today i started out with the 2 FWB 124's , one scoped the other peeps / next up was the 2 sheridan pumpers both accurate . last was my new to me Daisy 853 peep sight CMP gun , all i can say is WOW light weight /easy to cock / with a scope it will be a single ragged hole and if i do my part a 5 shot single hole gun . Cannot believe this is a $139 gun including shipping .
Love the looks of the Diopter.Back at the beginning of summer I got the idea of doing a sight swap.
Mount the diopter from the 753S on the .177 HW50S, and mount the Bug Buster I had on 50 on the 753S. After a full summer of shooting them, and some more plinking today, I think I'll leave the swap as is. Both rifles really came to life for me with the switch. Most of my shooting is offhand at silhouettes and spinners at a variety of ranges from 20-40yds with these two rifles. I used the front sight insert for the 50S that has the skinny post with the ball on top, and it's perfect for these type of targets. And man, the 753S with the 3-9 Bug Buster literally lives up to the name. Horseflies and wasps at 15 yds with Meisterkugeln are easy shots.
Getting colder by the day. Snowed Halloween night, but that melted off and it was in the 50's today. Popped a few beer cans with the .22 P1
as well.

The only modification needed was to drill the bottom of the diopter body for a recoil stop pin as it wanted to creep backwards on the 50S. The roll pin is a friction fit and removable if I ever want to switch the sight back to the 753S.

The finishing touch was to apply a strip of Monokote Trim to cover up the holes on the breechblock where I removed the factory rear sight. Monokote Trim is an R/C aircraft product that is thin, strong, and self adhesive. Just cut it to size like tape, and apply. It blends in perfectly and is meant to be fuel resistant so it won't gum up if exposed to gun oil/cleaning solvent. Easily removed if needed with heat from a hair dryer followed by a little 91% rubbing alcohol.
