What springer did you shoot today?

MOSOSODBOB · May 24, 2023

Shot my AA TX200 Mk3 .22 today. What a difference from fighting the RWS D54 yesterday. Spend my morning tinkering with a Daisy 717 and decided to bring this springer out to test along with the pistol.

Took five shots to dial it in at 10 yards. Shot a five shot knot and refined the clicks and shot five more. Finished shooting at the target numbers. 18 happy shots. The hiking pole rest was working well too.

The AA is joy to shoot … no struggling to cock and ergonomically fits my shooting positions… trigger will need getting used to… really long creepy first stage and just ok second…

Think this will be the gun I will use for my first FT match this weekend.

also… I am new to this game…can someone tell me how or what I can expect with larger diameter pellets out of this gun… I am using HN FTT 14.66gr 5.53mm to get started, have another tin of same brand and weight but at 5.55mm … haven’t shot that yet… also got a tin of heavier weight but it doesn’t have diameter stated… what is “norm” for .22 pellets?

Some can plinkin fun at 15 yards with a Slavia 618. And i had to shoot the Crosman Model 99. Its just so much fun and awesome.

TX200 .22 and HW50s .22, both equally accurate..love them both but really like the weight of the HW.

Horse feeding time is always around 6 pm. I always take out something to shoot, usually a pistol or bb gun. Today I had the hard choice of taking out one of these youth springers. I went with the Hy Score 808.

I shot my HW 77 K and quickly remembered why I love shooting my PCP. Cock, shoot, break shooting position, single load, etc. Definitely no likey. My R7 is much more pleasant, but still a springer.

This evening, when down to 58, and windy. No bugs. Bonus. Started with a HW30 .22 . Perfect gun on the range.

So easy to use. Next up a 97kt .177, Another gem. I can’t say anything bad about the 97.

Great evening. Crow

Took a 34 premier.177 outView attachment 359058I can’t believe what a sweet rifle this is. Loves JSB 10.34. Dirty accurate, and easy to handle.
Bought used half year ago. Had to of been tuned to shoot this nice. New owner is happy. Crow

Not familiar with this gun. Nice looker but what make is it.

It’s a Diana. I apologize, it’s a 34 premium. This gun has caught me totally off guard. Had a 34 classic. Hated it, only gun I sold. Night and day difference. Crow

That 97 is a looker as well. I have sold my 97 in favour of the 77. I like the length for open sights plus the open sights Of course.

crowski · May 25, 2023

Mine are all stock. I’m hoping to start buying custom stocks soon. I still have a few spring kits to get first. I hope to put a diopter sight on a 77. Really liking the 77’s. Crow

Crosman Vantage NP .22 this morning, in the course of upgrading the trigger.

Teber66 · May 25, 2023

Had a brief little shower outside and not long after it stopped I could see that the wind had died way down. So I got out the R7 .177 and shot these 6 five shot groups at 68yds. Even with the wind only being about 1-2mph it still amazes me how much these little pellets move around in the wind. Should have stopped after the first group.

Motorhead · May 25, 2023

Spent the last few days fiddling with the TX-200 getting it set back up once more for some Field Target duty.
Been likely 5+ years sense the old girl came out of the safe. Going to shoot it this weekend at the SVFTC monthly FT match.
Forgot what a striking stock she has ... What a gal !!

whiteeagle58 · May 25, 2023

Went to the range this morning with my RWS Diana 34 in .22, and enjoyed a quiet, still session. I passed the 15,000 pellet mark with the old gal, and she still shoots fine!

Septicdeath · May 25, 2023

Shot a Gamo Expo 2100 .177

and a Crosman Guidehawk .22 off hand at 40 yds.

10 shots at a can off hand with the Guidehawk. Missing one just to the left.

Beautiful grain. Love the jewelry.
I notice you have a different grip on the cocking arm. I find the TX’s difficult to open sometimes on all my TX’s.
Do you find yours easier to release?
Crow
Good luck in the competition!

I’d like a 34 in .22. Enjoy your rifle. Crow

You’re a deadly shot , wow 40 yds. I could never do that. Nice shooting. Crow

I went out to shoot this evening after working like a dog. Grabbed a 77 .22 and a 95 .177. Sat at my bench, thought I was in a Raid commercial there was so many mosquitoes. Never got one shot off I ran inside. Crow

It's nice to be retired and have time every day to practice. I'm definitely not good all the time. I only post my best.

What springer did you shoot today?
