What springer did you shoot today?

This afternoon the snow just kept coming. Shot a HW77 .177. 
Also shot a HW97 .20. Can’t beat this 97 with a club. What a gun. 
Shortly after I pulled out this gun, the wind picked up and made it uncomfortable throwing snow. Some awesome shooting.

Great shoot this evening as the wind layed down.
I shot some video which I will share in a bit.

Morning shoot 29F. snowing little to no wind. Had one of the best of the best guns out. A Walther LGU Varmit .22. 
I have a Rowan trigger for it and it’s screeming for a new spring and piston seal. Love to get this gun in a wood stock as well a LGV.
Check this out only 4 shots, ran out of lead. 47 yds. This was a love at first sight gun.
I put an earth magnet in the frame of targets.
I never search for a dime anymore.
Also had time to shoot a R9 .22 after I got more lead.
R9 - HW95, same thing, only different. Flawless gun. Great morning shoot for almost 2 hr. Crow

Unfortunately, the only option is diy. I’m not handy enough to mod a .626”/15.9mm into a .573”/ 14.6mm and I’d like to find someone who is.

New (to me) gun day! Sheridan .20 with a born on date of 1963, from the AGN classifieds. In great condition and born in the same year as me...Chronied 4,5,6,7 pumps: 460, 500, 573, 625 respectively. 5 pumps felt about right and averaged 537. Remarkably accurate out to 20 yards, which is about as far as I can see the bullseye.

Also had time to shoot my two other .20s, A Beeman RX2 with a custom stock, and my HW77K. 3 very different .20 platforms, all deadly accurate.

Pumper still getting it done after 61 years. Other are nice as well. I've never shot a .20 that I recall.

The best thing about a .20 is that there are 4 pellet options (that I know of). And for me, JSB 13.7 is the clear winner. Grab a gun and a tin, done. That, and they seem to be pretty accurate, even in my hands...

Hello, bustachip:
I have had the HW30 for just over a year now. Yes, it is the Deluxe in .20 cal. I shot it for nine months until the 97K arrived. Then, I shot it for another three weeks while the 97 was back for warranty work. It's a great little rifle.
The Athelon scope is not up to par with its big brother the Athelon 6X24X50, or the Element 6X24X50's in clarity. The focus has some anomalies when you look away from the center. Like the target being in perfect focus at the center, but the other targets off center being out of focus slightly. I need to spend some more time with it. The rifle the scope is on is likley going back for warranty, so maybe I'll stick it on the HW30 for a while.

Send the scope back as well if it's not up to par, they have a lifetime warranty. The 30S is new to me, but I like it so much I ordered one for myself.
It's hard to put down, would be a great woods gun, it weighs nothing. Here's the video from Satuday evening, with the HW30 at 75y. This video is set up for a phone view.

Nice shot at 75 yards. Where do you zero your HW30 at?Here's the video from Satuday evening, with the HW30 at 75y. This video is set up for a phone view.

30 yards.
The fall from center X down to the point of impact is About 28 inches at 75. The mil dots are terrible and cover a shot shell. I have to use the bottom point, set to 4+X, i changed to a lighter pellet, and still used the bottom,of the crosshair, but I was able to get some better magnification, and visibility.
