There's a screw behind the trigger blade - keep adjusting in small increments and, test it until you're happy with it

What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Your BSA is to die for. And .25 cal. deadly. I have a BSA Polaris, one of my most accurate and hardest hitting springers. Thanks for sharing. CrowOne of my favourites - an old BSA Supersport in .25 cal'.
...... a nice sedate shot cycle from a 2 stage trigger and, pellets that really slap a knock-down
Plus, a good old Leupold scope.

Happy ending. I don’t shoot my 30 near enough. Mine complain of lack of use. I plan on using the 30’s and R7 in due time. They are incredible rifles. Crow

I do too. It has a few quirks, most notably the barrel shroud and the muzzle weight set screws. Hector told me about it and it’s addressed in Steve’s write ups. I like the aesthetics of the gun as is but if I can’t get solved to my satisfaction then it will end up with Hector’s harmonic tuner and CF barrel shroud. It’s a pretty darn impressive shooter as it sits. Just have to tighten MW screws every 20-30 shots.

Two days ago I wore insulated boots 2 quilted jackets which I wear in any weather. Yesterday I would have sweat when I swim, up to 68. It’s already 66 now. I’ll take it.
‘First up HW97kl .177. I could have used mirrors and shot behind my back, it was so deadly.
Spinners at 43 yds. No problem, hit them in the centre. It has a buzz sound. I’m guessing a new spring kit is in demand in the future.
This next my first rifle, HW90 .25.
Almost crewl what this did to my hanging cans. Like throwing it in a blender. I’m looking forward to playing with this rifle the gauge and pump. Talk about a sleeper. Crow

HW77k .25. 
Very accurate and destructive. I can connect with this gem. Fun to shoot.
I always said, don’t know how a gun is so accurate that feels like it’s falling apart. Well it was, can’t believe I didn’t lose a screw. We’re the sights ever out. Zeroed in at 40 yds. Cocking this baby is two steps for me, but very manageable.
This cannon definitely delivers the goods. Crow
I almost forgot I had a HW70 out walking around. 72 F. today, crazy.

I didn't have much time to shoot today, but killed some cans for 20 minutes with a XS28M .25 and this Rugar .22 with longer than stock version barrel. The barrel is a XS28M .22 barrel fitted with a globe site and William peep.

Ditto. Rolled out at 0530 this morning for Corpus, got back about 5:30 tonight. Fortunately, this doesn’t take much time to load ha ha ha. Love the ebony grips on this gun, really nice feel.

Same as me I didn’t get home till 4;30. So glad the sun doesn’t go down till 8 pm. 80 F. today wow.
Took my HW30 .22 for a spin
This gun is accurate. Lot of fun to shoot. Like a delay, action. Crow

Less than a week ago I wore insulated boots and winter wear. Today sandles shorts and tee shirt. 78F before noon.
‘This TX200 .22 certainly warmed up the spinners. This was my first TX. They’re all clean and accurate.
They look so elegant.
‘The R7 .177 was actually the first rifle out. Had a hard time putting it down. This and the 30 are such a perfect gun.
I was easily hitting targets to 35 yds.
Days looking bright ahead. Crow

Had to come inside, getting heat stroke. 82F. and I think I know why. These two guns are hot. Same gun R9 .20 and .22. The same but different. 
The .22 cal. started. First shot clean through 3/8 hole at 30 yds. This gun is just breaking in and showing promising tendencies. A+ rifle.
Ironically same deal first shot through 3/8 hole 30 yd. plus 2 more out of 5 shots. I have no idea what it is but this gun is in a league of its own. It’s constantly is something I desire. No spring sets in either of these, but they are going to get one. I don’t think it’s a coincidence but of all my 97’s and 77’s, the 97 .20 is the newest not even broke in. IMO I find it again the most lethal.
This R9 would be a gun to carry in the bush.
Next week we’re going back to freezing temp. (Hopefully wipe out some bugs). After that I’m hoping to get the paper out. Crow

Talk about sweat when you swim, it’s 85F. Taking advantage of this weather today and tomorrow, all jobs on hold.
‘This one is my dumpster gun. Had over year, first time using it for the simple reason I finally got my glasses. What a difference. The FWB 300s has the iron peep sights, little getting used to, but so cool. Sights were out a mile at 10 paces.
This gun is growing on me fast. The trigger is like no other, never felt one sooo smoooth. Took a few minutes to figure out adjusting the sights. Awesome gun.
On the right side going up I was catching on.
This next power house is my Diana K98 Mauser .22. This thing rips. I bought it because it is stamped Mauser.
I left the iron sights on cool gun. Once I zeroed the sights I missed once out of 10 rounds this can, 30 yds. Don’t bring out much , that’s going to change. Crow

Broke out the 48 in .22 today. Don’t know why I don’t shoot it more than I do, it always shoots good but definitely need to put a different scope on it. I think my dad bought it in the early to mid 90’s.

Can’t remember what I did last nite. You’re not alone.
Nice gun. Keeper.
Is that the same internals as the 54?
Crow

Crow, 48/52/54/56 are all the same internally except for the sled on 54/56. 48 and 52 are the same gun except for the stock, you’ll see older ones actually marked 48/52. 54 and 56 are the same gun except for stock, barrel shroud, and muzzle weight. And absence of sights on the 56TH.

Can’t believe I’m in shorts with snow everywhere. 71F. Great for shooting. Took out a Pro Sport .177. Spent a lot of time shooting, no pic.
‘My HW98 .22 was next. The was one of my favourite shooters. Seems sluggish. I did put a Vortek spring in it but no piston seal. I now have the seals, so another job.
It sounds like a HW30. Trampus99 brought to my attention. Nite time job. Crow

What a difference a few in-lb makes. Shot scoped HW35E and peep-sighted Diana 34 couple days ago. Just standing 20-25 yards plinking spinners, etc. The 35E hit everything. Couldn’t hit water if I fell out of a freaking boat with the Diana. Unusual because I usually just have to point that gun in the general direction of the target and it finds it. Checked screws today. Stock screws and rear trigger guard all good. Front trigger guard, oops. Torqued it back down, went outside to 20 yards and smacked Cooper in the head. Then smacked him in the tail so he’s ready for the next round. Such a good gun. Remember to check them screws boys and girls! Shot a few pellets with the HW45 too just because it’s so much fun and hard to put down.

My 34, same story. Point, hit. I think mine was tuned. Who I purchased it from didn’t know. Never expected that. Crow
