So unique, love the grip area. Normally a vulnerable area, but your grain follows nicely, sweet wood. Nice 30. Crow

My TX200 MIII at 100-yards. When using the "good stuff" it does well.

Not too shabby at all. Very nice shooting. Crow

Falke 90 from the 50's....of rest at 25 yards.View attachment 365583View attachment 365585View attachment 365588

Love the stock. Thanks for showing. Crow

Some great guns. Jealous. Was 99 degrees today with 113 heat index. Only thing we shot was the breeze at Father’s Day party LOL. Going into office tomorrow so up early, unlikely to shoot tonight even though we’re down to only 91 degrees at 19:00. Oh, well. “There’s always, tomorrow, for dreeeeams to come true…”. Ha ha ha.

High 70’s low 80’s all week. Looks good. Crow

Tonite started off with a HW85 .22.

Such a sweet gun. This is one gun to get a peep sight.
The next was a HW80 .177. No pic. Once scoped in this gun was invincible. Need to shoot more.
Next gem is a HW35e .22. Top left corner of water you can see a plane just landed. Gun almost pointing at it.

Such a smooth gun to break and close. After 20 rounds, got a twang which sounded like a spring.
Last for the night a TX 200 Hunter. .22. This is my only Beech stock in Air Arms.

What a gun. I have to say the UK does not accept second best. This one will get a custom stock one day. Crow

 

[drpietrzak]

A rainy 🌧 morning here so I did impromptu footage for a video on how I shoot my TX200.

At the end of my range time there was a bit of reprieve so I dialed back in for 50-yards after shooting 100-yards yesterday.

50 yards TX200 MKIII with 3mm spacer in front of the top hat. Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50mm. Shooting AA Field Heavies 10.3gr weight sorted to 10.4gr.

The more I see of the TX 200 the closer I get to buying one. Impressive accuracy, and darn gorgeous too.

I do not know if all are like this, and it not as easy to shoot as a pb. But mine is living up to expectations.

With any of these guns it’s up to the one holding the gun that makes the difference. Crow

Nice shooting, looks tighter. Crow

The TX is the first springer I bought, bottom TX. Have to be honest I favor the Pro Sport. Crow

I shot till 9pm in daylite. 3 absolute keepers. If I was an Egyptian pharaoh these would be in my tomb. They’re all the magical .20 cal. First HW90, right from first shot it ready. There’s nothing like the sounds of the 90 when jacking.

This gun is so nice I took a shot of both sides.

Solid gun. Dirty accurate. This gun is in a league of its own.
‘This next another keeper R9. Hunting gun extraordinaire.

This gun will deliver anything you ask. Again amazing accuracy.
When I saw this gun for sale I couldn’t hit the sold button quick enough. Sprained my finger. Put a Vortek spring. The piston seal is waiting and it’s going to make a difference. I’m losing sleep. The infamous HW97kl.

I cut a can in half so fast, I‘m thinking handy emergency can opener in the kitchen. Seriously, so accurate a gun. Not a flaw in this rifle.
‘I have 5 different calibers in springers. I can’t explain why, but the .20 cal. seems to be in a league of its own but it’s noticeable. Crow

Had fun banging silhouette targets with the 98 at 50yds, and soda cans at 20yds with the Diana Oktoberfest gallery gun this morning. The tube magazine holds 100 rounds. Load it once, and shoot all day. Also tried out my Umarex Mark IV. I managed to get the atrocious trigger pull down to a reasonable 5lbs, and I added around 10oz of ballast in the form of birdshot and epoxy inside the grip frame and around the barrel liner. It's definitely a better shooting gun now. Got rained out before I could see what she'll do on paper. It's a fun budget plinker.

The 98’s are keepers.
I have the Oktoberfest as well. I think a round or 2 are jammed.
Do you know how to clear?

 

[crowski]

Tonite I got to unwind with a Pro Sport .177.

Serious and stupid accurate. Done nothing to this gun but shoot it. Top shelf.
This next gem, HW77 .22. The long barrel is a bonus with sights. Can see peeps going on this rifle

I severed a can in half in no time with the 77. Treat to shoot. Crow

 

[.20calguy]

I shot the Beeman Webly Vulcan, at the Crazy Eights target. It was the first gun of mine to clear all the targets without knocking other targets loose, or collapsing the whole target, but it took two shots on one and four on the other to reset them. So a bit more powerful gun is needed to reset the target.

What usually happens is a BB gets lodged halfway into the opening where the shaft that lifts the BB up to the chamber is. It can happen if you cock the gun and don't keep the muzzle pointed up. You'll need to disassemble the lifter mechanism and physically remove the BB. I've found that Crosman Black Widow BB's are the most reliable in the gun. Never had a malfunction in over 1000 rounds.

Here's a disassembly guide for the gun. Unless you speak German, you'll need to hit the translate to English button-

Thanks for the info, your a wealth of knowledge. Crow

Well the HW50 s177 cal once again got the love tonight It has decided it doesn’t like crosman pellets anymore I’m hoping it’s just this tin of pellets and has fallen in love with the HN pellets . So much so I I hit my 100yr target so many times I got tired of shooting at it. ( the small one )

A different day with pistols. And I mean different. A Beeman P1 starter.

I am the worst with a pistol. Nice gun, easy operation. More practice, much more, needed. Next up HW70.

This is a sweet pistol. Little break barrel.
Up next FWB 65. This is as smooth as it gets. I do no justice for it. Crow
