What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Here’s a tense moment 3 woodpeckers and a Blue Jay. The woodpecker on the hummingbird feeder is on it 20+ times a day.
My first Wiehrauch HW90 .25. I’ve renamed it 180. This gun was evil when I first got it. But now turned down to 18 bar, you wouldn’t think it’s the same gun.
Tuesday bought a Tri axle of gravel 20 tons. Thurs. another 21 tons. Been busy.
Next up a HW95 .177, a HW30 on steroids. This gun is all business.
Miss the shooting. Crow

Same Same Ole, here shooting the 97K at 75 with excellent results.
I thought I would try a lense photo but couldn't get the shot. One time it focused nice but not long enough to get the photo..
It's always darker than these photos show
Attempted lense view.

Got a new to me HW77K from a great seller here, JamesD yesterday. So after setting it up with my new scope and mounts, I did some sighting in and then some 20 yard shooting from a standing position resting my forearm on the corner of the porch. Not bad for day 1, and quite ready for tree rats and bunnies! Rifle has been tuned and custom cocking lever and bedding screw cups incorporated. It showed up in like new condition, and smmmmmmooooooothhh as butter!
5 shots with FTT 14.6 grain, @ 720 fps, with a 4.6 fps ES. yep, I'm still smiling. Thanks James!

If Weihrauch had an HW50S "Luxus" with a walnut stock I'd probably be trying to figure out how to pay for it!

As for which springer,an HW50S (new style stock) in .177, H&N FTT's. On starling patrol from my front porch, sitting in a low turkey chair, sandbag on the porch railing looking north and shooting sticks set up shots to the south. The scraggly black locust to the north is ~20 yards from the porch to its base.

Had some quality time with my .177 HW95 and .20 HW77K. Although very accurate, the 77K has a harsh "boing" that I'm going to have to address at some point....

Planed on sighting my HW77K with its new Hawke scope, however a very bad storm went through last night take large number of trees out and put our power transformer on the ground. No AC for several days and no sure when we will have the tress taken care of. In any case I’m going try and shoot tomorrow. Charles

This next rifle, don’t know how it got in the lineup. Just shot few days ago. HW77 .25. Lethal gun.

Glad everyone is safe.
They say the storms are going to be more severe and frequent.
I buried all my wires with a 14 kw generator. Last year 5 days no power, generator saved the marriage.
‘Hope things get cleaned up soon. Enjoy your 77. Crow

Rain day, yay. Been working like two. HW97 Blackline .22. This gun was banned by the squirrel population.
TX200 .177. Straight shooter, galore. So sad I fumble loading this gem.

Yep, you crank the lever, and drop a BB down the bore. There's a magnet inside that holds the BB in place until you fire. It's touted as the most accurate BB gun made. Designed for junior 5 meter competition, so it's light weight with a low cocking effort. It's a short range low velocity smoothbore tack driver. Nice fit and finish, and it comes standard with the peep sight and single point 3-position sling. Although it resembles a Red Ryder, it's actually a completely different design.
