What springer did you shoot today?

We would really rather you Northern Brothers keep it up there, we have enough with heat and humidity in the summer.

They had designated an area not far from base housing, back leading to the bay as an airgun/bb gun area. I tried it once it was miserable, not really set up for anything, just bare white sand dunes. I was in base housing, close the the hospital where I was assigned, so made a pellet trap and shot from one bedroom down a hall into the other bedroom, probably a bit over 30 feet.

The 85 is the same power plant as the 95 and 98 but with the long barrel. So much easier to Jack. I’m thinking on some cool diopter sights. Not desirable to walk through the woods, I wouldn’t think.
I really like shooting the 85. Crow

I used to build f3a competition RC planes back then. In my shop I had a desk with an HW70 pistol in it, and a Marksman Trap in a bookcase at the other end. I would sit and shoot there often times.

Yes, lets split it. The humidity starting around June is unrelenting, it's oppressive to say the least, and try I as may to adjust, by around august I'm just staying inside..lol.Can't we split the difference?

Speaking of 95's I just got mine back from Shane at AoA. I just pulled it out of the box, and mounted the scope.
I shot the first shot way high, then remembered that I had put it away zeroed for JSB 13.73'.
So I did the same thing I do with the 97, when switching to FTT 11.42's, and dialed in 20 clicks of down. The next four shots were bullseyes.
Its really crazy, when you have good quality equipment.

I finally got my scope sorted for the HW 35. Went with the 30mm high rings and the long adapter. I tried the two smaller adapters with the medium 1 inch rings but they were a no go, lasted less then 10 shots and were going backwards fast, no stop pin. And with the little bump that the Athlon scopes have on the underside, the medium height 1 inch rings wouldn't fit with the long adapter.. Anyways, I did a lot of switching stuff around. Unfortunately, trial and error seems to be my fate. Learned a bit about Burris rings, too. Cheers!

I had both and the 45 was more accurate, but the 70 is much milder and easier to be accurate with.

This 75 is as accurate as the 45, since both use the same barrel, but then again, it's not a springer like the 45, it's a recoiless SSP, making it crazy accurate.

Glad you got it sorted out. When I first started using the 1" zee rings I tried the two small dovetail to picatinny adapters as well. I found that I needed a separate scope stop behind the rear adapter, since they didn't have a integrated stop pin. It worked well for several years until I changed to the picatinny rail that I now have on all my piston guns. I do like this set up better for a couple of reasons.
Old set up with separate scope stop added in the rear.
New set up...with stop pin in the rail.

Yes I was thinking the 75 would be more accurate and easier to shoot since it's a SSP. I really like the Bronze Star though...lol.

My Athelon scope didn't come with flip caps adding a considerable expense that's allways included with the Element scopes.
I bought a set of reasonably inexpensive Butler Creek caps that didn't fit, so I'm going to have to get a set of MKM caps, because I'm spoiled these days Lol.

I like to use the elastic scope covers. I find the flip get caught on my clothing in winter. CrowMy Athelon scope didn't come with flip caps adding a considerable expense that's allways included with the Element scopes.

Morning shoot while snowing. Started off with a Pro Sport .177. Great rifle. Only problem was loading, dropped a lot.
This next gun is a chameleon. I was reaching for 97 .22 and that’s what I thought I had, but it was a 77k .25. What a gun. I’m going to shatter my record for cutting a can in half. This gun will do it. Has a TbT spring and a Vortek piston seal. Hall of fame stuff. Still has a buzz in it. But the accuracy gives you bragging rights. Wicked day of shooting.
Have a 95 .25 cal. on order for half a year soon. Can’t wait for that one. Crow
