That’s what I thought when I first saw this one. Why can’t they offer wood like that on air rifles? Charge a premium. I sure they would sell a boat load. Crow

What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
It was a sunny 46 degree with no wind so I shot my beloved HW30S in .177, my Diana P5 pistol and my HW70 pistol and enjoyed the hour of afternoon shooting. Charles

Crow, how do you compare the performance of a tx200 vs an hw77? I dont know of anyone who has both other than yourself on ANation. Thanks

Mine are all stock, no modification’s, yet.
Both are accurate.
The 77 loads much easier than the TX. I like the button to release the cocking arm better than pulling from spring loaded catch. I find the Hunter a little more difficult than the TX.
I like the fact you can put a diopter sight on a 77 as well, nice option. I have the 77 in both barrel length, I like them both.
The TX’s are gorgeous guns, I prefer the 77.

Excellent summary, thank you! I was looking at a TX200 but am going to stick with HW77 in .177 or .20. With $$$ left I can get a HW80 .22

Been a loooong while since I pulled out my Beeman’s “Original“ 27. It’s in excellent condition and was mfg 04/77. It has a BPA S83 Willams peep sight and #13 wide trigger shoe, all original Beeman’s accessories. It is an absolute joy to shoot, forgotten just how super smooth it is. Shot her for about a hour with some RWS Basic 7.0 gr pellets. Got her all wiped down and put a few drops of silicon oil down the transfer port to condition the leather piston seal and put her away until next time. One of my most favorite 27’s!

i just like the way the long holds and feels , to me better balance , a slight easier cocking also longer sight radiu
your in canada so you would have to find a dealer in canada that would order from AOA and then ship to you .

Haven't shot traditional in a couple days as I picked up new PCP.
Even though I said I wouldn't shoot it anymore I picked up the Benj titan NP it was sitting there looking all neglected. 5 Shots 5" low and 5" right but they did group generally speaking. So I adjusted the scope and then who knows where they went. Hum maybe I should take off this unknown bushnell scope with nice glass and put something else on.

I tried shooting this today, but it was too windy, I did manage to hit a few with hold offs.
Give this a go and see how ya do.

I wasn't going to shoot it anymore without tearing it apart, but I can't help it. I picked up the Benji Titan NP and started shooting. It was hitting in the general area at 20 yards and then bam it was missing a 4 ft x 4 ft target all together. So I decided it must be the scope that I threw on there (bushnell sportsman 4-12-40). I grabbed the Gamo 4X32 that I think is on it's way out, within 5 shots from 50 yards I was on target. Consistently hitting 3" target and 50% on 2". Being that there is gusty wind up to 9mph and less than average scope I'm good with that. never mind easy come easy go just like that and 10 shots in a row not on hitting target.
Not the vintage cherry yall have been sharing.

I really like my 22 cal Benjamin Titan. It’s surprisingly very accurate and was my preferred pest eliminator when we lived in the bush. I had done a bit of work on it though to get it to this stage.
I replaced the gas ram with a Gamo ram and it now shoots 14 grain H&N at 700 FPS, did the bearing install, dremeled the primary trigger sear, new Custonairseals piston seal, new breach seal and replaced the plastic breach washers with brass ones. Also put in a new detent spring.
The trigger in my opinion is still not great but it’s ok. On a good day paper shooting it can equal my Hw77 in accuracy most of the time.

Didn’t need to touch both, it’s got a good barrel and I kind of like the thumb hole stocks. I think the best change was with the ram. The original ram was a scope killer and was likewise in my 177 version. This ram mellowed things out. I used this rifle in the 100 yard long rangers. We came in third, hit the ball in the second shot.

This is yesterday morning. HW77 .22. 
Also the mighty HW90 .25. Both behaved.Just finished wrapping my boat for the winter. A little late, when I finished, it snowed. Glad it’s done.
