Usually take me 15 to 20 shots before I'm settled in to do some good groups.Upvote 0

Super tempted to pick one up. I’ll hesitate and then they will be gone and I’ll be cryin’ ‘cause I didn’t get one when I had the chance.

This morning before Coffee, while weighting for it to brew, I decided to shoot my 34 T05 Diana. I haven't shot it for a while so I wanted to check it again with the pellets it likes, the H&N FTT in 177 at 8.4 grains. From my table at 20 yards to my Gallery. As usual it showed its preference over the AA 8.4 Diablo Field. I decided to do the same test with the R10, which has the opposite taste for the same pellets. The R10 allways throws fliers with the FTT's? I don't know why, but feed both their favorite and they both make me smile.

These are my hunting guns in 177 and always shoot well, in fairness the R10s favorite pellet the AA 8.4 group was me called that shot to the left, I knew when the trigger broke it was going left. The 34D always shoots the FTT better but it is one gun that shoots about 3/8 to the left off a bench, no matter how I hold it. all 5 shot groups except the FTT in the R10, and the 34 with the AA 8.4 I shot a sixth shot, but at 22 yards offhand to make sure it was still on for field use. It was and the FTT's were bustin nuts every shot at 25 yards.

Had to put a shot of the oldest airgun scope I own out there. This old Tasco Varmint 2-10x40 AO was a good one. It's been on three different Springers now and still does its job! I'd say a nearly 20 years old now, and still clear and holds it's zero well.
Good morning, now time to go mow!

Today I took out the SW 77A for some off hand at 30 yards. That wore me out. So Sat down and shot the 150 torpedo off sticks, and the MM XS25 for the third day in a row.

If all I do is play, and no work, how do I know what I like the most? Besides that when I get done mowing, I have a full week of harvesting walnuts, thats fun, perfect job for the 17 cal. air guns, and don't need a ladder,,,,,,,How am I supposed to go and click a like when the last thing you say is, "It's time to go mow"?

I get to pickup the grandson at noon today after his football practice. Gotta a full schedule, including Cabelas, Bass Pro, and whatever a 14 year old wants to do for supper? Then tomorrow some range time, or fishing, his choice. But while having coffee I wondered how the little 30s would fair with the Beeman R10 or the 34 To5 Diana?

Over 500 pellets thru it now, and I think she is broke in, I wont be doing any mods to this rifle, I think Weihrauch got it right from the get go!

I usually like to see where I'm shooting before I begin plinking. The splatter targets work perfectly for this. After I checked each gun I plinked for a good hour, with the XS28 25 and a TF99 177. Sitting in the shade off sticks.

This afternoon shot the MX175 co2 bb rifle from around 12 yards. The bbs fly as fast as you can pull the trigger. Will even penetrate a can from that distance. A awesome old bb gun by Heathways.

Took a few moments before it got too dark outside and shot some steel eggs and chickens with the venerable R9 in .22 caliber. i love the sound of the pellets smacking steel!

Plinked for a hour today, such a beautiful overcast day, a escape from the heat. Shot the XS28M and XS25

Ah...the wood pile, I've cut and stacked enough wood and slabs to kill 5 men. If I never cut another stick of stove wood it will be too soon..lol.
We had three wood stoves in our house growing up, and according to my late father, you can never have enough wood cut and stacked.
The R9 is really nice to look at though.
