What springer did you shoot today?

I shot my new Diana 66, it came as a non-functional parts rifle but a bit of debugging (including removing eight pellets from the barrel) and re-syncing of the pistons and it's all good

This is my rifle range


And this is the first ten shots taken with a random diopter from the parts bin mounted


The vertical string might be the low light or just me getting used to a new rifle, but I think it's probably an indication that the seals need replacing
The horizontal spread bodes good for accuracy though.

And any group looks better on a pistol target ;)

Yup, they're worn out

Hi, am Kris and new here and use a Weihrauch80 (Beeman R8) .20 in combination of a UTG 3-9 x 40 scope. The gun is very pleased with the JSB 16grain .20 pellets. I love shooting cards & Targets in the garden (60 yards) en shooting rats and pigeons on a farm in the neighborhood.
Hi Kris, welcome. Guns, shooting , perfect. Crow
My LGU .22 and HW77 .22
Oh, a lovely Bouquet. Both smokin’ rifles. Crow

Nasty, not looking forward to it. Nice shooting. Crow
Hatsan 135QE Vortex in .22, plinking off the front porch.
Sweet rifle.Crow
 
Rain day, gun day. Bit of a change, but still springers, pistols. And do these beauties need some tweaking. A Beeman P1 .22 and P11 .22 as well a HW70 .177. BC3FCD72-0F25-4442-A7C5-CFD3A32F87D6.jpeg The Beeman’s I couldn’t sight in a target at 10 yds. But I could hit a plate no problem at 35 yds.
‘The 70 is a sweet pistol. I’m going to put these in the rotation. Super challenging.
Can anyone recommend a scope or sights for the Beeman’s?

Marathon of shooting today. Pulled these two gems out. I’ve never really shot either one. All I can say is, too bad they don’t make guns like this any more. A 300s and FWB pistol. 52D3FC25-86E6-4056-B79E-2B92F91F5BC8.jpeg Their both on a sled. The triggers are like cutting butter.
Unfortunately my eyes need new glasses and it’s showing. This target is 10 meters. E6A3BAFD-1B2E-4B73-B89A-6C7AC5E8E625.jpeg 300s is responsible. I never touched the sights. 2 more hours of shooting. Crow

My little FWB Sport. Finally getting some decent weather for shooting, 52 degrees, I would rather go out when it's cool or even chilly here than in the heat of summer and sweat. Two days ago we were at 80 with high temperature. I wanted to readjust the scope, a little Hawke Airmax 2-7, wanted a small scope for the sporter, and needed to move it back a bit to match my eyes, I had it too far forward. Checked it on paper for a few shots then picked up some acorns and set them on a sawhorse and started shooting them off.
