What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
I received a tracking # for this today. It’s shows delivery this coming Wednesday.No shooting today. Going to a Rainiers game tonight. Just to keep you folks filled with spring gun love, I ordered one of these. It was a weak moment…
Anyone here with Cometa spring gun experiences? Good? Bad?

Cometa 300
The Cometa 300 lineup is yet another great back yard friendly shooter. They are easy to cock and reasonably powered at around 10.5fpe with your standard lead pellets. The standard variants come with easy to use, adjustable iron sights. Safety: Manual Barrel: Cold Hammer Forged Barrel Sights...keystoneairguns.com

That stock is smoking hot man, it really sets that R9 apart from the crowd!
90% of my targets are Sharpie dots on sheets of copy paper. If I am trying to be Mr. Fancystuff I draw 1 inch crosses and get 5 aiming points. It usually just turns into a big 1 inch hole chewed out, but hey, it's still fun!

Gamo Magnum GR .25
After 30 pellets. My arm was ready for a break.
So I switched over to the HW95.

I have a .177 46E that is a sweetheart.
It has served long duty on chipmunks around the property, always delivers, and just does not shift zero.
Great looking rifle!

Thanks,..mine was bought second hand I guess 8 or 10 years ago now. It was my first one, I didn't grow up shootin these as a kid (I'm 49). You know how it goes,..,,,,I've added a few more since then and continue to here and there. The 46 is still the one I grab quite often. English Sparrows hate her.

Thanks Chuck!
It’s easy to just cut some boxes up and draw dots on them. I just toss them in the recycling bins when I’m done. Cheap, easy and satisfying
Ive drawn the crosses too but never thought to use each end and the intersection as the aim point. I’ll try that next time.

I think fun is the key for us here on AGN. Benchrest, steel, ELR, hunting, plinking. Doesn't matter the discipline.... Or none at all, just shoot or collect, or make custom parts. Do it. Remember N+1=the number of airguns you should own. N=the number you now have. And

58° drizzling rain overcast. So I decided to shoot a couple of 105X .25 side by side. One is a spring-piston with dot. The other is a gas ram. It's the first time I've shot them side by side just for fun.

same here back into the 90 next week but today it was a very pleasant 83 and sunny . Shot HW97 .177 this gun likes 1/2 inch spinners @ 48 yards , juat kept flipping that spinner 4 or 5 times around and around ,each shot.
then shot the CMP 853 SSP with the new post front tight instead of a circle front sight , @ 16 meters a splater target ended up with a ,347 CTC hole in it .
Fun rifle .

Fall is close by, just not close enough. Yes the 97K is probably my favorite piston gun, deadly accurate. 48 yards 1/2" is putting them in there.

45 year old 766 out again today. I tried several more pellets, FTT 8.64, AA 7.87, H&N sniper 8.5,
AA falcon 7.33. Out of these the Falcons were best with Snipers coming in second.
40 yards rested with Hawke Vantage 2-7X32 on 7 power. I'm learning that with this trigger you have to pull through, no squeezing or it throws a wild shot.
Here's the best 3 groups with the Falcons. Group #3 was going good then I threw to wild shots to the right..lol, so only 3 pellets in group #3.
This 766 is completely different from shooting springers, but I'm improving little by little. Another thing is the rifling in this barrel is microscopic, so I'm sure that doesn't help, crown is good though.
