What springer did you shoot today?

[bustachip]

Sounds like your barrel is off

Today I refocused on the wildcat a previously solid shooter. Figuring the crosman 4x32 scope finally bit the dust I went back to the new hammer 3-9X32 which was slated to be returned because the scope mount did not fit the benjamin. Upon putting it on on wildcat It was shooting high and right. It took all the adjustment to correct and still didn't get there. So I removed the hammer one piece mount and put back on the gamo two piece mount with hammer scope and was able to at least get it hitting on target without every click of adjustment. So the question becomes since the mount is worthless do I return the scope/mount or keep it. Is my dovetail off or is it just the mount not properly seating.

It sounds like your barrel is off from the dovetail. So you either bend the barrel to correct where it's pointing, or you use adjustable scope rings.
I've used Burris signature zee rings in the past with good success. They have eccentric rings that are +/- 5, 10, or 20 moa and can be mixed matched if needed. This way you can optically center you scope, then with the rings dial in your poi within a inch or two, or better. then final adjust poi with the scope turrets. I've only used the 1 inch rings and I got the ones that attach to a picatinny base.

The Crosman 6500 Challenger -AKA- Anschutz 335
View attachment 413166
Still leather sealed and smoooooth.

The rear sight is actually correct for the rifle, and is an Anschutz 6706 with a Gehmann adjustable diopter eyepiece.
View attachment 413167

The Anschutz 335 has three holes in the top of the receiver that can be used for an arrestor pin to belay any sight movement along the dovetail.
Anschutz manufactured a drop in arrestor pin that was designed to drop into the holes and stop rearward shift with scope rings or Williams type sights with no arrestor pin feature.

The 6706 rear sight uses a coin slotted screw along the lines of a Weihrauch rear diopter sight.

I’m not familiar with this rifle. Looks like a beauty. Thanks for showing. Crow

4 laminates today starting with a HW77 .177.

The only way to make it better is just leave it alone. Makes you look good.
The HW97k .177 is no different, magical. Broke in and showing it.

A little different with more juice, a Diana 54 Pro .22. I like red, had to have this one. This gun amazes me. Accuracy and a decent smack at 47 yds. Got to like the red.

Finally last lam. HW97k .20. What a gun. The Vortek spring makes all the difference. Soon it will receive a Vortek piston seal, as if it needs it.

We got a few inches of snow and the lake is starting to freeze over. Great day shooting.

That’s a stunner. Gave the MK1 HW77 in .177 some love today. Gets dark early now and I shot long enough that I had to switch to the twilight peep. Forgot to take a pic so this one will have to do.

 

[Septicdeath]

The rain stopped, and I mean buckets of it. So was able to shoot the last couple days.

I welcome the rain, that means I’m shooting. Love the muzzle end on the Hatson. Crow

It rained here 4.5 inches in 48hrs.

 

[crowski]

Bit freezing rain and little snow. And a few rifles using the muzzle ends for first time. Diana 350 “The Mule” This is an awesome gun. 1 in. spinners 47 yds. No problem, and with a whack. Smokin Tree Rat gun.

The grips are working like a charm for keeping the cold steel from my grip.
Next a gun been sitting a while. I put a new scope on it this morning. 4x12x40 Hawke Air Max on a FWB 124 Sport .177. Insane accuracy. I don’t think FWB is capeable to a lemon.

This was my first .177 cal. rifle. Gets better every time I use it. Strong hit.
This 98 .22 is as good as it gets. Love this gun.

One of the easiest to shoot, with nice accuracy. Hall of fame for sure.
And last a cousin of the 98, a HW85 .177. The long barrel. Easy, A+ around the board. This gun grows on you like a fungus. Haha.

i like your fence / guard ?

 

[squaker]

windy today, shot benj titan, pellets had a 3 foot spread, decided it's going to get a total tear down, even though I never done it. The worst to happen is I end of with a pile of scrap I can't get back together. As of now it's a pile of crap I can't shoot. Then I shot 22lr rem 597 silenced on target and sweet. Then Gamo .22 wildcat another good day for the gamo. Went to wally world to get more pellets. They had a wide assortment of BS cuda, javeline, bomber, poly tip, and other gizmo pellets so the only thing I could buy were crossman hollow points (why no dome). Oh well they were $6 for 500.

 

[squaker]

crow that looks so cold could you move that shooting inside and open a window or door to shoot? We would all feel warmer.

You on high ground bro?

Wishing you good fortune out there with that mess.

That tin is $18. here
Just check on u-tube before you take apart. Take pictures. Crow

I was out for over 3 hrs. shooting today. Crow

If I got 4.5 inches my boat launch would be fiord. Crow

The only other 1 that I know of with that barrel, DualMagMike did a post of very rare rifles, one was I think was a Beeman HW55 Troleen. With that barrel. What a gem. Crow

 

[cjtamu]

Amazing how “normal” weather conditions vary depending where you live. We can get 4.5” in a day here with no issues. But snow like Crow has would paralyze us for days. Septicdeath, hope y’all are good.

Posted this next door also so apologies to those that have already seen. But, was too much fun to not share. Today I was at the local outdoor shop picking up my Diana 45 with its new recoil pad. Excellent gunsmith. One of the employees has a teen son with Downs or similar and he was there. Had my 56 T/H with me and he was fascinated by it. Talked for awhile and showed him how it worked. Went in the shop area where there’s a barrel full of sand and fired a couple shots so he could see how the sled and the ZR mount worked. Put a big old grin on his face. Only two shots I took today. Two of the best shots I’ve ever taken.

Beerthief I feel your pain. At our previous address it was one and a half return trip to the shop or hardware. I quickly learned to anticipate what would be required for a job, plumbing, mower repair, water pumps and most other odd jobs around the home.
Nothing upset me more then doing two or three trips to town to fix something.
