"I have two guns of complete polar opposites he has not seen pics of, (the HW98 and my Home brew 2060) loaded it the truck, to show him what they can do tomorrow... It went perfect according to plan. He associated "air rifles" with a Red Rider.Was amazed the 2060 started from a L.W. barrel purchase and had evolved into a complete gun off "boutique" parts available "on line". But then I puled out the HW98 and watched his eyes lit up.I explained the HW-98 was in production since the '80s and Doc Beeman R-11 (yadda-yadda), and still available today. IMHO the finest Springer to be had. He picked it up... "Whoa... that has some weight" he said... "and a Bull Barrel on an air gun?"I smiledThen he shouldered it. His body structure and mine are almost identical, so the cheek riser and butt pad adjustments were very close. Then I saw the smile creep across his face. "Wow, now I get it, SOLID... and who makes this?... and how much would one cost? At that point I knew I had him hooked.He says he doesn't need another hobby and handed it back... but I know the seed is planted.
I so well know the song n dance, tell a PB guy about an 800 FPE airgun , and they have to bring up some over powered 50 BMG and how it will plant you on your but There will be the day the energy efficient LED bulb will come on LOL
I started the day sighting in my peep-sighted HW30s with her new Vortek PG3 spring kit. Next, I shot my peep-sighted 50S. It was way off target with AA 7.33 Falcons so I sighted her in too. A little later, I came across a note that read that that 50S prefered JSB 8.4 Exacts. Now then, do I go back to JSB's or stick with the AA's?
