What springer did you shoot today?

[EquivalentDelta]

Scottsville but 9 miles north on the very south end of the lake

Hmmm Finland ?

Grew up in Cub Run. Moved for a woman. Finland is nice enough.

A nice, warm day with some time to shoot...unfortunately very windy. Despite the wind, pellet tested my new FWB 300 at 30 yds. At least narrowed down my choices to 3. Not as smooth or as accurate as my FWB 150, I expected it to be *twice* as good all around ;-). Still an excellent rifle, the only interesting thing that happened was that the scope literally fell off when I went to put it away (I have wall mounted racks in my air conditioned garage/shop). The Pic rail adapter failed, obviously loosened from the sled action. I'll have to keep an eye on that. Luckily, the only damage was to the lens cover, and that was minor. I do have a question for the hive mind...this rifle's bluing is essentially non-existent. I'm going to send it in to David Slade for a tune and he offers re-bluing services. Not cheap. I don't mind the "old rifle" look, but what would you guys do? I am going to refinish the stock, just because I hate that thick varnish look and the wood underneath deserves to be seen...Thanks! Rick

I also shot my HW50 with a Vortek kit. It has been neglected for a couple of weeks. Cheers!

I have a FWB300s that I got new back about 1984, great rifle but I never developed any love for the blocky stock. I recently managed to find a FWB 150, and got it in and it was obvious that it needed new seals so it is now out to David Slade for resealing and tune up, Hope to get it back before easter.

You guys are so lucky to have a David Slade. I could keep him busy for a month. Crow

Got a little time shooting with a HW90 .25. Like throwing a brick.

Had to give up, too many hydro guys back. 10 days no power. Went in my messy shop and prepared more targets for welding.

Crow.
