What springer did you shoot today?

[bustachip]

Today's groups at 40 yards with the prosport. I re zeroed off the bags because I'm going to shoot this way for a while and give the sticks a rest. I'm going to take it to the range and see what it will do at a 100 yards, so I need to get zeroed good on the bags.

I shot two 77s and an HW30S.

Yes "not much winter " is exactly why i moved here .

I’m looking forward to the winter, because I shoot almost every day 2-4 hours. I’m lucky to get 4 hours a week in summer, always going.
Night shooting in winter is the best. You can see where your misses go.
As long as there’s no wind.

Are all the 30's barrel length the same?

 

[crowski]

Two rifles, the same thing , only different. A HW50 .22 cal. 125 Anniversary.

Still not broken in but getting sweet. And a HW50 .22 with a Vortek spring .

Man o man what a difference. Love this gun.
Had my rod and reel sniffing for the fatties just before the sun went down. Only fish sun rise or sun down.

You can feel a fish pass wind with this rod. Crow

How short were you going to cut one down?

 

[Greenarrow]

How short were you going to cut one down?

About 4’ I’m guessing. I’ll have to see when I actually get the barrels on hand. I thought about photoshopping a picture to get the look/length right.

That red and black laminate is so purdy!

It's a nice day to shoot. I guess we'll see. As soon as Blanco finishes his nap. It's been a half hour already.

 

[Bandito]

Blanco looks like a cool customer for a shooting partner. B.

Finally enjoying the Hw77K I picked up a couple weeks ago. Had a broken spring. it's finally being enjoyed with my choice of accessories, still need a sling swivel set for it. But after these initial groups, It is really starting to shoot now with over 300 rounds on it, it's finally setteling down and starting to drive tacks.

This was right out of the gate with the new spring kit in it. Today it has cut those groups nearly in half!

This week is early shooting with the heat index in the 105+ range, and that fabulous tropical humidity,,,,, but it's ready with squirrel season less than a week away! So no more whole Walnuts, all offhand at 20 to 30 yards and just just pieces of half the hull's, head shots are assured in the coming week,,,, This 77 in 177 is boringly accurate!

My targets of opertunity till then.

Rowan handle, have on on my 97K and had on the sold 77K. I found the set screws need to be filed or ground down some so they don't protrude and bite your hand. I like the Rowan stuff, nice trigger blades as well.

I noticed when I got mine there were some changes as pictured on their website. First thing I noticed was they no longer use two grub screws on the bottom in line with each other. Mine came with two on opposite sides near the front, and one on the bottom at the rear. I also didn't have a problem with them protruding, so maybe these were all issues they've been made aware of by others.

I have a now no longer available model on my LE 77K in 22 cal. from The Field Target Shop, it was a flattened checkered and black anodized. It was what I wanted but their website says temporarily suspended???

Now that I have the Rowen, I like it better. First thing I noticed is it has a larger diameter, and was noticeably better feeling. I'm sure this is preferential to individuals, but when measured it was only .030" larger, but it feels bigger and I like that.

Some better pictures to show the mounting screws. Just wonder how yours is mounted bustachip? Did you notice a difference from the pictures representing them on the Rowen sight?

One good thing about these last hot days are they are dead still in the evening, unlike the fall when the wind starts to blow all the time, up until it's dead winter and more still evening..lol.
Today more bench rest shooting, but something different today, no forend contact with my left hand. I usually always hold the forend with my left hand, today I tried it like I shoot a PB just rear bag hold.

# 7 was best group today, # 8 started great, but I flubbed the last two shots. I also had my little buddy scoring my target, he said I need more practice.lol.
