What springer did you shoot today?

I mounted my new Sightron 4-12X40 SI G2 on the 97K today, and mounted the 2-7X32 Airmax on my HW30 last night. Zeroed the HW30 at twenty yards today. On the 97K I have the Burris Zee rings and it''s POI is about 2-1/2" left at twenty yards, elevation is pretty good, so I need to try to adjust the windage with the plastic inserts again to get it closer. Shot a few groups, but it gets dark quick..lol. Calling for snow this Friday.

97K is still a laser.

Sunshade on the little Hawke scope makes it look bigger than it is.

Shot one pellet from a new to me HW77. Then decided to clean the barrel. Couldn't get the patch worm cord down the bore past the moderator. Then I used cleaning pellets. The smoke stinks. Didn't know it was new. Maybe it sat a long time and was traded in, because it was billed as used. Have to get rings and maybe a scope. Be Well Brothers, B.

Stick a straw in the moderator and the Parchworm will come right out. Most fast food straws will fit perfectly.

Thanks 20 cal. I had completely forgotten hearing that. It will simplify several gun cleaning chores.
I may have asked on another thread but what mounts/ring, and scope work well on this 77 KT? Be Well Brothers, B.

If you have Sonic's where you're at they have great straws for that. They just switched to a blue straw that is a tougher material than the old red ones.

I have about an hour of daylight in the afternoons to shoot. Today I took the HW30 out to 40 yards and managed to get two good groups, with a lull in the wind. .216" ctc 5-shot group was the best, with a .372" ctc group coming in second. I had previously been using the Hawke Vantage, which, the eye box is easy to use but the reticle is a little thick for precision target work. Today I have the Hawke Airmax on the HW30, and its eye box is more critical to my eye, using glasses. But once I figured it out, it produced the best groups yet at 40 yards.
