What springer did you shoot today?

Glad I’m not the only one that leans their Airguns against things.
I’ve read where that’s bad for break barrels. Because it can cause the barrel to move.
Every action has a reaction… just a function of degree and effects… like trigger Nazies… some people are obsessive idiots with certain things… like when I placed my 2k$ shotgun on a gravel tank trail to take a photo with my dog and dead birds... you think I raped a nun given the shrilling responses...

Took out the Mendoza 3000 for a relaxing round of open sight shooting. As far as the weather goes, there is something great about the PNW. the days are never that cold. And yes we get alot of rain, but when it's nice. It's really nice.

Come on down to E. Texas. We had to go to town and car said 101 for a short time coming home, balmy 98 now.

Do you shoot Field Target? If on the west side of WA... come out to Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club (located in University Place)... we do Bench Rest too, registered airgun and N50... I am one of the few spring gun shooters, lots of PCP shooters... matches once a month... check out club calendar for dates
 
It's back!

Kind of like a movie, Just throw the scope on and shoot, but it was a bit more complicated than that. The scope has been on a different rifle. So I looked in my photos for a pic of my turrets on this rifle, and bam there it is. I love that!

Destroyed two of the targets, and hit them all.
On one shot the pellet came out like a spring, like it was put in backwards, but I can feel the propper orientation, and I tuck the skirt in a bit with thumb pressure?? It was wild.

The 75 yard target today.
 
You have to appreciate the straightness of these 97Ks. The scopes windage has never moved from center, at any range.

You got a good one then. My 97K and now gone 77K both were off quite a bit. 97K is off about 15MOA left and almost as much low at 40 yards.
Dovetail is probably off, anyway, I used burris zee rings to correct when using a 1.0" scope. But with my 30mm scope I just dialed it out on the turrets.

That's more like what I was expecting.

First I have heard of that. I have been leaning/standing my FWB on buttstock with front sight globe in a corner somewhere, since 1975 and have had absolutely no problems,
 
FWB 124 - just enough to realize I need better sights on this one....
I have had mine since early 1975, quickly put a Williams receiver sight on it, then about six years later a Beeman scope. About three years ago when I sent it off for new seals/piston I went back to the Williams, It seems to me it is just made and balances better with iron type sights.
