Shot the old reliable R9 in 20cal this morning. I forgot how well it shoots those 13grainers! I need to add a HW97 in 177 to my collection. Or maybe another 20 cal.

Love coffee! And awsome shooting. Great start of a day. Crow
Wow .89, I only wish. $7. was a steal.A .89¢ can of paint now cost $2.89 so things got to take a few more hits before i hit it with a fresh coat anymore , i guess that proves that we never had it soooo good. But joe, its hard to build back better when you can afford to finish it up with a quick coat of cheap spray paint..
I try to paint my targers daily. Crow

I have to say and I don’t know why. But the R9 and 97 both in .20 cal. were the last rifles I got. I have them both in .177 and .22 but the .20 seems better. Just had 97 .20 cal. out, it just brings out the best in you.
‘Get the .20. is mo. Crow
You’re a deadly shot.
What kind of scopes are those?

I do that all the time. Same thing going from long barrel to short barrel, when jacking. Might break a finger nail. Crowafter shooting HW97 i had a problem with the tx200 ..........I kept trying to push the release button for the cocking lever

They are inexpensive red dots. Not sure of brands. It's nice to be retired and having the luxury to shoot almost every day. Sometimes more than once.
I've never been much for bench shooting like off hand or hunting sticks. Unless I'm sighting in a gun. I've had some very bad days with lots of missing. And my accuracy drops off after about 50 shots. I don't know why.

I shot the HW85L .22 from the back deck and had a 17 FPS spread over 10 shots with an average of 16.75 FPE. I thought that spread was a little high but the groups were as good as ever. H&N FTT 14.66 gr 5,53 mm pellets. Windy but chrono was about 2 or 3 feet in front of the rifle.

‘I’m going to try one of those on a pistol.
I’ll be shooting again daily, soon, sun comes up at 5;30 goes down at 9pm.
I have to bench shoot, my knees are euchred. I envy what you can do. Crow
Nice guns. A worthy weekend is always a bonus. Crow

Took out a 460 .22 and plowed its way to the targets.
This gun is a sledge hammer. I’m going to get a target scope and sight in tomorrow.
‘Next out HW90 .25. Did major damage to a can.
This is was a sleeper for me. Love the sounds that this gun creates. This is 8 pm. Crow

Missed this post,sorry. You did mean 95L
I’d have to say IMO you have most famous 95 with leather cheek piece.
I haven’t got one yet but I will, one day. There’s so much stuff. CrowUpvote 0
Nothing high powered, all slow and steady today.
Changed my 1965 HW55S back to a leather piston seal, so had to cycle it to let everything take a set. Put about 100 through it, and like it a bit better than the synthetic seal.
Went recoilless with an Anschutz 380.
A very easy rifle to shoot well.
Carried on with a Gecado(Diana) model 66.
Not as smooth as the Anschutz, but still a treat to shoot.

Morning shoot with a R9 .177. Did nothing but chase the scope. Odd and rare.
Also relived some pressure in my 35e .177. Such a reliable gun. Quiet and a treat to use. Crow

One of these days, the right deal will present itself, and I will own a HW35.
Good pick Crow!

Gorgeous guns Chuck-in-Ohio. Making me want to take my Winnie 435 out. Today was peep sighted 2004 Diana Model 34 in .177. I love this plain Jane girl. Plenty of pop, solid recoil but no buzz or twang. One of my favorite all around guns. Just sitting in my chair shooting spinners, squirrel, chalk targets at 17 yards. I chose 17 yards because that turned out to be the distance from my chair to where I set the targets ha ha. This gun is so accurate. The chalk targets kept getting smaller and it just kept hitting them.

Shot the same guns as yesterday, but through a B5 into the mix. The B5 is awesome accurate at 25yard and amazes me I can even hit the can at 40 yards.All the rifles where shot at 40 yards off hand.
I did shoot my best first five in probably over a year with the .20
