bought out of curiosity . Just liked how it worked , spring is vertical in the grip so recoil is up not back.

What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Spent about an hour(hot outside today) shooting my new right handed TX200 MK3 with its new Hawke Air Max scope and for a lefty shooting a right hand gun it performed great for me without any negatives at all. Think I'm going to love the combo. Charles

While waiting on the HW77K, I bought here from JamesD. I put a new HO PG4 Vortek kit in my 54 Diana yesterday.
So after shooting 8 different pellets over the day, all dime size 5 shot groups or less @ 20 yards. I decided to rezero it with the pellets it has always shot the best. AA Heavy Field Diablos, 18.0 grains. Top bull is a five shot group, after the final 2 shot zero, bottom is a 22 felt pellet over the group.
Hoping the new HW77K will be as accurate with its favorite pellet, both in 22 cal. We' find out Saturday?

Guns with bling: 1970 Diana 65 former club gun with Anschutz 6700 and Hensoldt magnifier/iris, and Walther LGv with seldom used
breech sight and accessory steel Walther diopter sight. For folks really into trivia, the "V" in LGV means "improved", I guess as compared to the LG55. Wonder why the new LGV is also that...improved over what???

I took out the gun that sits right next to my back door. A Hatsan edge 22. It gets neglected This is the first Hatsan I owned tinkered on, and tuned. Nice shot cycle. No twang and probably 2.5 lb trigger with its mod. I'm going to have to take it out more. I'd forgotten how well this little cheap gun shoots. Some off hand at 35 yards

Encore performance by the HW77 .25. Can’t leave this gun alone.
Every thing pulled out getting sprayed for spiders
Also a HW50 .177. The scope was out a mile , once zeroed it‘s performance was stellar.

Descuzzed, deburred, relubed, and trigger fettled to a suitable degree= A pretty fun light weight unit that slaps a wadcutter into chipmunks with suitable effect.
The peep is off of a Browning T Bolt .22 RF, and really lets the MP60 shine.

Was able to get in a few shots with the FWB 300 su target.
Made 10 almost perfect shots at 25 yards. Not bad for a 10 meter rifle i guess.

How does that cometa shoot? I need to call that member back and ask a few questions about which model to get. I wonder id the gas ram or standard is better? For me its about extreme accuracy, need a .22.

To all who regularly post on this thread. Thank You. Every day I look forward to seeing what interesting tool is being enjoyed by some lucky shooter. Maybe when I retire (again) I will regularly shoot my own cool tools. Please take a moment this weekend to remember our fellow countrymen / women whose sacrifice made enjoying this pastime possible.

I took the HW30 .177, the HW50 .22 and the mighty HW95 .20 shooting today. The wind was very aggressive, lots of swirling. Could see the cottonwood seeds dancing in the wind and wind indicators were blowing upwards at times.
The HW30 pellets were curve balling, I was using two mil dots. The hit ratio was not good and I retired it.
The HW50 fared better but I could not buy a spinner, even the biggest so cans it was.
The star of the day was my HW95. Even with the crazy wind I could smack quarter sized spinners. Both of my friends were shooting PCP's and I was keeping up with them. It is always fun to give them a run for their money on called shots with a springer. Something about the HW95 makes it damn near perfect.
Honorable mention goes to my LP400 today. Was resetting a squirrel target at 30 yards today with some kind of Walther voodoo in the crazy winds. For a 10 meter pistol it can really reach out touch something. I would never have believed it but it makes a very efficient pesting pistol. Blows right through a grackle at twenty yards.

Put in some time as the sun is going down with hw30 deluxe. Just a little fun at 20yards, sitting, standing , kneeling practice. Every time I shoot this gun I think I need another rifle in .177. Something a bit hotter in the fps dept. The flat trajectory is real nice at different distances.

Had some time before dark, shot my favorite .177 TX200. Pushed it out to 50 meters and still delivered...
