What springer did you shoot today?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Shot the 300S Jr. today. What a joy. It fits & balances so well.
These standing 10m targets are nothing to brag about, but not too bad for a 68 year old fart. The one on the right was going pretty well until the hasty last shot 😩.

Today Im shooting the Diana 54 airking. What an amazing piece to shoot. I love all my springers but this is almost cheating. It is SO FORGIVING as to shooting in improvised positions. Not sensitive to where I rest it in the field really at all.
It’s like a magnum version of an FWB 300 as far as the recoil system.

Today I grabbed 2 lams. A HW77 and a HW97K both .177. First the 77, I’m clawing and battling the cocking arm, I just about broke all my fingernails trying to release the arm. Yesterday I was shooting my TX200’s just pull the lever. Once I figured out to push the button I was OK. LOL. View attachment 272558 This 77 has the longer barrel which makes the cocking easier. Once I zeroed my scope at 30 yds. this baby not just hit the spinners but most the time in the centre. Used JSB 10.34 same weight as Hades.
This 97 makes no mistakes, I do. Again same as the 77, once zeroed spot on. View attachment 272557 I favour the looks of the 97 because of the barrel weight. Heavy winds today. These two are so accurate you can almost control the ricochet. Definitely good enough for the girls I go out with.

I didn't catch the age of this post at first! 2022 Lol

I see that the bluelam has a Hawke on it. Is the Helix longer than the Hawke?
Great photo's as always!

A belated birthday gift to myself. Looking forward to practicing my offhand with this baby.

Zeroed her in and shot the first target group with the factory sights. Got an Anschutz diopter already on the way.

It’s only 3 shots, 20m away atop a makeshift tripod. I decided to quite while I was ahead hehe

Two identical rifles HW95 on left and a R9 both .20
HW on left with an Air Max 12 1/4 inch.
R9 with Element 14 1/4 inch plus 3 inch for extention. Just fits. I like the big honking opening.

Shooting tonite. Don’t care for the Picatinny. Crow

Scratched that .20 itch with a new HW77K. Very nice rifle, very accurate already with HN Barracuda 13.6, not so much with the 11.4s. Brand new so some time will tell. Need to test the JSBs. Couldn't easily slide the rear sight off so left it, too low to be functional for me. Don't like the Picatinny adapter, but all I have at the moment.

77 is a great rifle. Small world, wouldn’t want to paint it. I shot my 77k .25. this afternoon. This gun is a royal flush. Took 2 guns but this 77 hogged all the time. It’s that irresistible to shoot.

I almost bought a 77 or a 97, I still might….
I just still can’t believe how easily this Diana shoots off sticks.
