What springer did you shoot today?

[RCope]

Shot the HW30 this evening at 40 yards

Those are some great groups at that distance. I hope the wind was nonexistent for you. I've learned that these light pellets are really blown around at distance. And 40 yards is a big ask with the low power. I need to try those 7.87's, your post made me realize that I don't have those (yet). Cheers!

Yes! Today was almost no wind, the closer to dark the more it laid down. When I get some more 7.87's I will try again on a calm day. But last time I shot the AA blue tin 7.87's they grouped great at 40 yards in the HW30. I tweaked the trigger down a little bit more.

Amazing

I wouldn't say amazing..lol, I think it can do better. But thanks for the encouragement.

Shot the HW30 this evening at 40 yards, I was using the AA falcon 7.33, not it's best pellet at this range. Best group about 1/2". I have some JSB 7.87's on the way, going to see it they shoot as well as the AA blue tin 7.87's.

Nice shooting. I like the looks of the extension on scope. Crow

Almost got a heat stroke at 44F. Started with a TX200 .177, Lazer beam. What a gun.

Did some shoveling to reach some targets. Coronary workout, overheating. Check out that Barbie pink. Replaced 6 cans.

Now this is a cool target. No pun intended.
This time of year you get melt and freeze. The best targets. icicles at 30 yds.

Finished off the morning with a TX Hunter .22. Flawless guns.

Great morning shoot and repair on range. Crow

If you leave lots of undercuts in snowbanks you might just have lots of those targets in your MURDERous climate, Crow. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

Afternoon shoot in this heatwave. A Diana 460 .177 on the table.

Last for afternoon a Webley Quattro .22. This is a tank. 2 hander to jack.

Workout for the day. Crow

Just got a call from AoA. I had a HW95 .25 on order for I think 6 months with deposit. Sadly the .25 is no longer available. Crow

Sightron now has the butler creek flip ups.

Nice weather this week.

And how did they do?

 

[SoCalAirrifles]

Shot my 97 .177 today after completing my first takedown and rebuild with the tin bum export kit. I had broken the factory spring last time out. Was a little nervous because everyone seems to think Weirauch rifles are hard to work on. Intimidating yes, hard….nope. I would encourage everyone to go for it. Love the feel of the gun now and is so smooth. Now onto the other Weihrauch rifles.

*Hw97 numbers after rebuild/kit .177 8.4 gn @880 avg.SD @4.6 fps

 

[bustachip]

Nice work, those are great numbers.

 

[Rondo]

And how did they do?

They were fine.
I had more wobble than usual.

What is this wobble you speak of..lol?

My hold. Even between breaths I move a little side to side.

6 years. I think these’s timers that never stop ticking. They self destruct whether you use it or not. I’m replacing all my appliances.
And nice shooting. Crow

6 years is a long time for a desktop hard drive , PC is old enough not to upgrade to windows 11 .
