What springer did you shoot today?

I have mostly Hawke Air Max which work nicely. I prefer the side wheel adjustment. I find when turning the turrets for up-down, left-right are so soft you almost have to be a safe cracker to feel or hear the clicks.
I also use this scope by Element which is also springer rated. View attachment 410772I’ve been favouring these. I can hear and feel the clicks and they have side focus.Crow
Follow the leader!

This was my Black Friday air rifle gift to myself 🤓, a little break barrel love.

New to me Paul Watts ADV tuned Beeman R9 .177 cal, groups shot at distance of 58 yards in mild conditions from seated position across the knees, H&N FTT’s flew straight and I’ll have to order more since they fit nice in this barrel and they shoot well.

Middle group below with 6 shots: far left shot was an obvious biff so I had to send another one for redemption. The 5 good shots were 15/16” c-t-c. In there!

Nice gift and better reason. Looks_ like you connected nicely with your rifle. Crow

My brand-new Cometa Fenix 400 USC, in .177. I'm gonna love this thing. Compact, comfortable, quiet and appears to be very accurate. Nice trigger too. A big shout-out to Sqwirl57 and Keystone Airguns for bringing these in from Spain!



Y’all are going make me get a Cometa one of these days.
 
So today I zeroed my new Diana (Chiana nicknamed) 250 in .22. This is a Chinese made but Germany designed air rifle. My thoughts weren't too high on it. Zeroed it with open sights at 15 yards in 3 shots. Then Sqawky the Squirrel popped up on thr fence about 19 meters away and I said "let's see if these H&N Excite Hammers will fit the bill. Well, the pics speak for themselves.

I can't stress enough if you're looking for a Sub $200 break barrel that hits hard, and if you can get over it not being a Made In Germany product but a Designed in Germany product this can make for a good pester or varminter. Easy to break the barrel, nice stick, easy to acquire fiber optic open sights. Oh, it does comes with a 4x32 Diana scope. I just love open sights really.
