I put a used Hawke 2-7X 32mm Air Max on my HW57 .177. It's too soon to see how this combo works. It's my first time with an airgun scope. I usually don't trust them.....

Woke up yesterday with what has to be the worst head ache I've ever had in my life. I don't get head aches often and I really feel badly for those that do. It put everything on hold.... even work. I called off and spent half the day in the confines of the bedroom where it was cool and quite. Finally got hungry enough to come out. After eating the head ache began to subside. But I didn't get into anything noise related such as shooting.
I feel much better today.... we'll see where it goes.

This has to be followed up with an MD.
No kidding.

I reckon there won't be much shootin' around these parts tomorrow with all the storm damage, flash flooding and tornado clean up but; what the hey, let's see what tomorrow brings, eh?

Yesterday I shot my first "Project Appleseed" Oh MAN what a great experience!
Intense, all day, 3 position shooting AND Revolutionary war history lesson rolled into one.
Even though I am extremely sore, I had every intention to go for the second half today but Mother Nature has other plans. Thunderstorms and 20-30 wind scheduled to hit at about 10:00am for the rest of the day. The sky is already getting dark, so for once I think the forecast may be right. $:-\$

I emptied a couple clips of cast 30 gr FN BBT, out of my AT44 Tactical to make room to test a batch of 3- gr. FN/HP I cast from my new 5 cavity NOE mold. Weather may break enough today to get some 30 yard results.

Wow, the shooting god did not smile upon me at all today. Not sure what's going on, but, Man, I could barely hit anything today. And I'm certain it's the shooter, and not the equipment.

Alright, my NP2 SBD shooting form is back!

I shot a QB78 and Streamline. Sean shot Art.

Got to shoot my new Diana Chaser in rifle mode. Scope zeroed easily and was getting dime sized groups at 30 yards shooting H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66 gr. Have not tried any other pellets yet.

I got the Chaser Kit from Mike Melick of Flying Dragon Air Rifles with a tune. 22 cal 14.66 grain shooting at 625 according to Mike.

Call me happy.

It's a great gun and btw the FTT's were my chaser's favorite so you started off with a good choice! The magazines work pretty well but it is more accurate with the tray. Dunno why but it is.

ps; Your gonna need more Co2

Converted my 1740 rifle back to pistol form, and had a blast killing a mushroom can.

Finished tricking out the 2300s.
Shot about 40...

Din't like em either... ended up trading Mike Mellick a pair of them for a pair of tuned XS12.

I had to give up a Ruger Airhawk a few years back, when I got laid off from work.
Once I had it broken it was one of the best springers I had ever had. China clone of the Diana 34...so they say.

avator · « **Reply #5294 on:** May 21, 2019, 09:28:22 PM »

It's not gas.... It's gunk they put in from the Chinese factory to protect the metal during shipping. They greatly benefit from a dismantle, cleaning and proper lubing. At minimum a good barrel cleaning.
I tie q-tips to fishing line and soak in Goo Gone and pull breech to muzzle repeatedly. When the q-tips come out clean I repeat with alcohol to clean up. Then dry patches. Some follow up with one pull of WD40. Mike Mellick (Flying Dragon AirRifles) also adds No Bleach Soft Scrub to the process.

Shot my new 397 indoors at 20 yds. Just to relax a bit.
So far it’s doing very well with the cheap Beeman pointed pellets.

Crosman 1701P about 10 yards with Crosman wads

Crosman 1322 carbine also 10 yards.

1 rabbit, 1 squirrel in my yard. Loving these new hades pellets, seem to be very accurate, buck the wind and extremely deadly! That's called a trifecta in my books lol.

Yesterday I did a little shooting. First up was Art. I had received a folding fore stock handle and mounted that. I sat in a lawn chair and shot off my knee at various targets in the yard. I wrapped that up and straightened up the shop some. Later I pumped up the Streamline and dialed it up on high power. I shot 5 magazines worth of pellets at 60-75 yard targets. I was having great success hitting those targets and groups were tight. I was thinking how easy it would have been to precisely place a pellet on those rabbits that chewed our newly planted blueberry plants down to twigs this past winter.......
