I'm on a roll....
So far I shot...
The Benji 312 I posted on the classifieds.
The 2 Mendoza I posted on the classifieds.
Betty Lou's .177 Maximus after I changed the hammer spring for easier cocking.
And my 180/2260/Disco/and more HPA WTSHTF bugout gun.
BTW.... the last two will NOT be in the classifieds.
Oh yeah, yesterday I shot $10 on a losing PowerBall ticket.

Betty Lou is whipping up some waffles after which I'm gonna shoot some more... both for enjoyment and to find more to post for sale.

All this talk about XS60-c made me grab mine

avator · « **Reply #5722 on:** June 23, 2019, 11:29:42 AM »

Yes Sir.... I need to get my XS60-C GenI FD-PCP out and put a scope back on it from doing some scope swapping.
Gee thanks.... one more thing to add to the list of things to do.

I received my refurb Hatsan Model 95 SAS .22cal on April 16th and only had it for two weeks when my Hatsan Edge .177cal came in on April 29th. The 95 didn't have any problems that needed addressing so when my Edge came in I started immediately on it, (it is not a refurb, I purchased it new at a good bargain) first replacing the composite stock with a Striker beech stock, then addressing the horrible trigger. I finally got the trigger the way I liked it except for that extremely sharp trigger curvature. That was addressed when SteveP-52 sent a straightened one. So since then I've mostly focused on it. Last week I shot my Airtact some, I forgot how much fun it is to shoot with open sights. Anyway yesterday I got the 95 out and mounted a Nikko STIRLING GAMEKING 3.5-10X44 AO and sight it in. I forgot that that Mod 95 is the most persnickety rifle I have with pellets and hold sensitivity. Anyway after sightings in at 15 yards I shot the 20 yard target. Below are some of my results. I know it not the best groups, at 65 I'm not at steady as I once was, but I was happy.

Lots of rain last night and into this morning but I'm already shooting my HW 35 E SILVER BULLET rifle!
It is not missing! At 30 yards it shoots about an inch high, I'd like to try 40 yards but my back yard has run out of safe shooting range!

I'm having a BLAST with my 35 E!

Wind picked up too bad this afternoon for airguns... so I resorted to my 17hmr at 50 yards.

Ran a string of 26 and 28g hollowpoint slugs. I can say they both pretty well made 26fpe at low fps 600 ish. And at 10y I'm not impressed with accuracy maybe a MAD would help but for now I'm done with slugs...

Finally got a little time to enjoy my new acquisition as well as an old friend. First I got to zero my scope on my new daystate huntsman. What a marvelous rifle, one hole accuracy and 60 shots on one fill with the same point of impact. Next I brought out the Venom Lazaglide hw80k and was reminded why I own it . Tomorrow “poverty acres” gets a haircut.

Wind let up towards evening so I thought I would finish out the 2 carts of CO2 left in the XS60-C.
UHM.... No.... 6 carts and a tin of pellets gone. Ya see Dead-eye Lou came out from the shower and heard the music. (Que Grand-Dad is shooting) and plopped her butt at the table.
My-o-my.... that little snot can almost shoot anything I have as good as I do!

20-25 yard knock downs an 35 yard cans... I had the 20 yard re-settable Boar set up with the reduced diameter. She exclaimed "I hit it but it didn't fall!"
So I walked out to find the "reducer" had fell in font of the Bull and she had indeed hit it dead center.
OH THE HUMANITY!!!
Notice her Hold.... I think I am gonna try that!

Still too much water in my woods so I was stuck in the basement. Shot my 760 with rifled barrel mod using Winchester pointed pellets and had 5 in pretty much the same hole at 30 feet. Sure what to get that out to see what it will do at longer ranges. More rain predicted for tonight.

Scott, that's a nice place to shoot. Glad your wife lets you use it...

Had a granddaddy day somewhat, too, though mine are just beginning (ages 7 & 5). The oldest stuck with me the longest. While always stressing safety, I'm teaching him about aiming with open sights. He's having a "grand" time. Let him shoot my Colt SAA, too. He thought that was fun. Does my heart good to see them interact with us older folks!

Once the family headed home, I pulled out by 8.x pellets and had a superb shooting session with my Crosman Venom .177, which just performed excellently--despite the trigger. Shot about 75 pellets from five tins (8.64, 8.44, 8.5 Med Sniper [don't shoot so well for me], 8.3, and 8.2). Though I'm still learning how to breath and not sway so much, it's fun to actually hit the center of target, whether a dime or quarter size.

I'm thinking about replacing the 3mmx5mm screw that governs the trigger pull (travel) with a 3x10mm. Have any of you done this? Any dangers to be aware of?

Many thanks,

Archie

Nothing, it's too hot!! Accuweather said it was 92° but felt like 108°.

I pumped up ART (Artemis PP700SA) and shot for fun. Pumped back up and shot to figure out shot count. 50 shots on a fill and zeroed at 25 yards. I shot for holdover data too. 5 yards out to 30 yards in 5 yard increments. Now I have that one dialed in. I ordered a 3-12x32 BugBuster scope and 60mm side wheel for it.

After that I pulled the HW97K out. Amazing rifle! Right on the money at 25 yards. It outshoots ART. It wears a SWFA SS 12x42 on top. Perfect combo. Looks good and performs great! I really like the rear AO focus on the SS line of scopes.

Spent the afternoon doping for variable winds with my Liberty .177 on low power and old Winchester domes. While smoking a couple racks of ribs.
This was much needed trigger time with my FT gun.

Yep between that and the intermittent 'pop up' rainstorms. Did not shoot anything except putzing around with the M17

Been heavy cloud overcast ALL day... UNTIL NOW!
So I am grabbing the Crosman 160 Var III and heading out for some vintage CO2 plinking!
