The feeling is mutual!
I only dreamt of what an FWB would be like. You pulled one out and said have a shoot!
What a beautiful piece!

I shot 3 rounds of Crazy Eights this evening, with three Weihrauch's, the HW95n, HW35e, and HW97k. I pulled out HW30 but it had no scope on it so I couldn't shoot it.
I look forward to a day when I plan to shoot all my Weihrauch's in one shoot.

No shooting for 2 days. Plowed snow yesterday and got dumped on again over night, almost a foot. Nasty winds. Broke my winch. Not a good day. Crow

Nice guns. The 35 catches my eye and that 70.I shot 3 rounds of Crazy Eights this evening, with three Weihrauch's, the HW95n, HW35e, and HW97k. I pulled out HW30 but it had no scope on it so I couldn't shoot it.

I like mixing up the guns when shooting. Crow

Thanks Crow
I want to Create a challenge for my self that will involve each gun and go for the highest hit ratio possible. I have been thinking about it for a while including using the Sheridans. I would have to hit a light-wind day to pull it off.
Today the best shot ratio went to the 95 with 9/14, but it happened while the wind was very light. The other two needed scope adjustments and wind compensation and I lost track of the misses. I started at 5 and got all three done before dark with a little time to spare for the 30.

After playing in the snow for 3 days I finally got a chance to shoot. First up a HW90 .25. Set at 18 bar and lethal.
We getting so much snow all at once that some of my hanging targets are getting buried.
Still have to dig my way to the targets.
Last gun shot a gem, a Beeman R9 .20 cal.
Great to be back on range. Crow

Gas rams are going to be fun. I think I have one in 177, 20, 22, and 25. Tinkered with the HW 90s in 20 and 25 today making sure of the pressure settings. Went to 18 on one and 19 on the other. The 20 cal HW90 was set for me by AOA. It was good to get the gauge as the setting on the 25 cal was over 26 Bar. One could cock it with the HW moderator as it gives a lot of extra leverage. But It is great now. Will have to get them sighted in now. Before I wasn't serious enough as I had hopes I could source the gauge. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

They sure sound different, when jacking and firing.
Glad you got the gauge. Meet gun to play with. Crow

Couldn’t resist a night shoot. Best shooting dead still, no wind and with the snow the lights work beyond best.
Took out a HW98 .20 cal. A must have gun.
This could be habit forming. Crow

It would be fun to have a range and do some night practice. Couldn't do anything like that here. Would do some run and gun with pb if I were in the country. Practice with hand held and weapon lights is good for variety. Have a friend with a Christmas tree farm and want to help clear out rabbits at night. With the snow we have had it would have been the time for night shooting. But probably using PCPs for the magazine loading. Back to your regularly scheduled program. What did you do airgun related today ? Âż ?

I posted this gun before, but since its stay with @Nitrocrushr it’s a different gun. In addition to the Tony Leach 22mm piston kit and other little upgrades, Steve found and resolved a couple of issues and now it’s sweetly snapping 8.44s at 11ish fpe.

It’s the 3-16x42 on BKL mounts. The rifle came with a Hawke Sidewinder on the BKLs.
One issue Steve found was the scope wasn’t holding POA perfectly and testing with his scope/rings fixed it. When I got it back and went to mount the Sightron I also discovered bluing wear on the front section of the dovetail. So the root cause is likely the front dovetail clamp being loose. With BKLs that’s easy to do. When I mounted the Sightron I noticed the dovetail fit was really loose. So I did the thing where I used the BKL clamping screws to bend the dovetail portion together far enough that it required the jacking screw to open it up enough to fit onto the dovetail. Now the BKL clamps naturally grip the dovetail and the screws only add to the grip.
There were a couple of other things that Steve resolved that are perhaps more subtle and maybe not a factory issue but essential for peak performance.

Nice. I have two of those SII 4-16-42 mill dot. I also always use a stop pin in the rear ring.
