What springer did you shoot today?

[crowski]

Marathon on range this afternoon for a few more hours. The four I took out were

Walther Varmint LGU .22 (one of my diamonds), R9 .177, Pro Sport .177 and Diana 34 premium.177. It was raining but I managed to paint my targets, on my 4th can of paint this year, last year 16 cans. Awesome afternoon shoot.

The Varmint was a laser. Such an all round gun. It’s been a favorite. Feels real good.
I bought another Walther today, I will pick up tomorrow and post when I get back. Crow

Doesn’t get much better. Now that’s a solid performance. That’s a goal for a few of mine . Enjoy Crow

I finally got around to installing a peep sight on my HW95 .22 cal. It's a Williams WGRS54. I've been using peep sights on powder burners for a long time and been wanting to try one on a 95. I just sighted it in now and so far I'm very happy with it.
I removed the rear sight and reinstalled the elevation knob and rear sight screw. I mention this because a lot of people have asked what to do about the empty screw holes after removing the rear sight. I think it looks good.

View attachment 330866Let us know how you like them. I don’t mind the holes back there butnot on break. Picked up these plugs, I think 3/16 automotive supply

. Bought 2 packs don’t remember where, wished I bought 4 packs I’m out. Crow

 

[crowski]

Got a few hours in shooting with these three.

HW97TH .25, R7 .177and a HW77 .22. Three solid rifles. All 3 were deadly especially the 77, 97 and the R7. Crow

 

[crowski]

Today 3 lasers. TX200 .177. R9 .20 and 77k .25.

I took out in morning and started with the 77. Severed two cans in half, killed it. Couldn’t put this one down. Did get the R9 in 1/2 hour before lunch, I know a lot won’t buy a.20 cal. because of availability of lead. I glad I don’t think that any more.

Every time I shoot this rifle it razzle-dazzles me. Can’t wait to install a spring kit in it.

This target 30 yd. Holes 1/2 inch At least 5 shots per hole HW77. This is an awesome gun.
The TX didn’t get a lot of time, the other 2 guns were hogs.

I had to drop my blind to stop the wind which was strong, saved the day. Temp. high 30’s. Great day. 3 1/2 hrs. shooting. Crow

 

[Deadeye Dick]

These two, a Diana 48 and a Gamo Varmint.

That’s awesome. I found yellow to be best for me visually. I’ve been trying to attach a frying pan lid behind. To get different sound and their tough. Crow

I went and helped my buddy bending aluminum with a 550 ton break. He had some 1/4 plate for scrap. He let me use a shear. Cut like butter. Got home after lunch. Went in my shop ran all edges over 8 inch grinder. Drilled over 200 holes 3/8 inch. For Christmas 1 year got a box of titanium drills. POS. Couldn’t even drill one hole. Used 3 bits 2 were used. What a score. I made a jig drilled a hole in every corner for the chain or wire.

Then drilled 3/8 hole in plates.

Tomorrow I’ll paint and install. I scored at least 30 plates. No time to shoot. Crow
