2 the same HW85 .177 and .22. 
Love shooting these guns. So easy jacking. Started with the .177 and finished with the .22. 
The .22 stole the show. Great guns. Crow

ok after slow motion vacuuming deep cleaning the carpeting , i took the Diana 23 out with iron sights standing to try out some H&N final match light (7.87 GR )
@ 20 yards , They shoot great in this little gun , kept inside a slightly large than quarter . I have never shot irons that well before. I could not do that with my TX200 (because it doesn't have irons HAHAHA) , Maybe ill try with one of the 124's /peeps

I took a Diana model 34 Classic wit a TO6 trigger out that I've had for a number of years and never shot it enough to break in. I mounted a low cost Daisy 5899 peep rear sight. I was really surprised with the rifle's great performance as to trigger and accuracy at 20 yards. I'm glad I gave the rifle a work out and hope to enjoy it in the future. Another fine German air rifle. Charles

Got time with a HW77 .22. Super accurate. Love this gun.
I’ve missed 5 days of shooting. Putting in 50 ft. of 10 in. Culvert. 
Problem was propane and 200 amp crossed my pipe. Can’t wait to finish. 
The Kabota did it but slow vrs. a mini excavator.
Had to laugh. Wife said you should have rented one. (A mini excavator.) I told her I’d rather spend the money on a gun. (would probably be 1400 bucks for that machine.) She laughs. “you would have got the gun anyways.” I’m gonna have to start listening. Crow

Was out earlier this morning with a 105X and XS25. Shot the XS25 first off hand, surprising myself with a decent 10 shot group.
Later in the afternoon shot one of my B5's

Well after putting a new to me Beeman R10 Deluxe back together, it was shipped tore down to save shipping cost. I had to sight it in at 22 yards. Not bad for a 30 year old rifle and a 70 year old man. in 2021 it was tuned by J.T. and I must say, tuned right!
15 to 20 mph winds today gusting to 30. so got the scope close for conditions in about 5 shots, then shot 5 I could cover with a dime standing. Then tonight after taking momma to dinner. Winds died down to nearly calm. So at sundown took 5 shots standing with my forearm handing resting on the corner of the house. Yes right where I wanted it about .2" high and centered. 925 fps with AA 8.4 grain Diablos. I am delighted in this purchase!!

Very nice shooting. You have a good eye. If I remember correctly, Hatefulmcnasty has an amazing eye as well. Crow
Thanks Crowski, that’s humbling considering the talent pool here. Had a 12oz coke bottle on top earlier that I was smacking 8 out of 10 times. My son in law couldn’t hit it at all. Upon walking out to the post we found one of his golf balls. He said there was no way I could shoot that golf ball off that post at that distance. All I said was give me three shots at it. Third one dropped it! My wife and daughter just smiled! My son and law conceded and went in the house! It was possibly the greatest shot I’ve ever called and made. That D45 is quite a shooter!

Lost 2 days shooting. Grand daughter got pinned as a RN. Drove home yesterday, 3 hr. drive, only to realize I forgot my house key at my daughter. Cost $452. to get in. To break in would been way too much damage.
‘Shot a TX200 .22, my first springer.
Love the side wheel for focus. This gun is leathal. Crow

Very nice, enjoy!
Just a word of caution to all using one piece mounts. I just setup a 77K with the same 4-12x40 Airmax, in a one piece mount, and the turret box had ZERO clearance.
I started sighting it in, in direct sun. I would adjust down, shoot a couple pellets, and it would shoot high again? After over 30 minutes I new something was wrong.
After going to the shop, I noticed how close to the mount the turret block on the scope was. I could not get a .001" feller gauge between the turrets and the mount.
As these black parts were heating up in the sun, it was affecting the center pressure on the scope tube.
Also after purchasing the R10 which came with a "not the same" 4-12x40 Hawke Airmax. It was obvious, not all scopes of the same model are created equal!
As you see, the scopes even though the same make and model are different. They do have a different item number on the box, but both are 4-12x40 AO Airmax scopes. The turret box on the new scope on the 4-12x40 Airmax is not as deep on the older version.
As are the nicer turrets on the older, and nicer nurreling on the zoom, PA, and caps. But this Brand new scope on the R10, I SWITHED OUT, is deeper than a newer 4-12x40 Airmax I just sold on an airgun. The new AMX reticle is one thing most will find nicer on the new Airmax scopes over the old mildot reticle which is much thicker as well, on the older Airmax scopes. But both are mi pick for my airguns.
But scopes mounts and all components should always be concidered different. Even if they are called the same!
I am pretty sure I see plenty of clearance on Marc from Frances gun. But seeing this same setup brought to attention my encounter. I am just pointing this out to keep others from having the same hair pulling event I had.
