Finally took the shroud off of my .177 Freedom to tighten the grub screw that holds the shroud near the breech because the shroud was easily swiveled.

Well, this gun was either really messed up in production/assembly, or it was previously owned... although I bought it as new from Buds.

The grub screw to tighten the shroud holder near the muzzle was stripped, just like the grub screw that holds the shroud in place. Both WILL stay put, but neither will stabilize the shroud.

And, when I removed the grub screw near the breech that holds the shroud "holder" in place (not the outer screw you can see when the gun is assembled), the outer part of the barrel was scratched a LOT! Obviously this gun was previously owned or really not handled well during assembly.

I guess I should send it back, but I probably will not. It shoots accurately, if I don't make the shroud move... and the barrel was tight.

Dang! I really like the Freedom/Aspen guns. I just wish they could get their quality control UNDER CONTROL! $:-\$

I put a soup can on the end of the shepherds hook and wait for mr. chipmunk to climb up on the bird feeder. Then I pop the can with my Daisy 99 and watch him do the Superman leap off into the weeds. Makes me giggle every time.

That DOES sound like fun!

I set up for the walking shooting course in the yard. I used the Wildcat with reflex red dot 🔴 on it. I LOVE this set up!

I did another flower/pot shoot this morning

Shot some practice with the ASP20 today at 30 yards. Some good groups some wandering shots, same ole

Did find a new pellet it likes. JSB Exact Jumbo Express (14.33 gr).

5 shot groups (more or less).

Oh the one shot at one of the 1" 'repair' disks was aimed there

ALL OF THEM !!!!

Well just the pumpers anyways, and I only took a few shots with each, but will probably do a decent bit of shooting with at least one of them later.

Skeets.... I think most of the issues you have read about have been with the 'no warranty' guns..... but then again.... they became 'no warranty' guns for one reason or the other.... $:-\$

81 F and no wind.. perfect Co2 night.
Brought out the 160's
My VII was spot on . Shooting tight groups high at 20 yards but dead nuts center at 30 Yards with its peep.
The VarIII was equally tight groups but a tad left at 20... couple of clicks and it was spot on.
Then stretched her out to 30 yards.

So easy to see why the USAF chose this gun for training!
A puddle of 8 carts later I came in... I need to order more JSB 15's

It's so darn hot and humid here, shooting is not fun. That said, I did take my beloved R7 out on the patio this morning, with the OH fans running, and shot a couple of groups. This little R7 may be my most favorite fraulein.

Wildcat .177 stretched out to 80 yards. 2-2.5” average group size. I had one at 1.5”. I need more long range practice with this gun. 80 yards in .177 is a stretch but I think there is room for improvement. I only need <4” at 100 to make the NUAH club here on GTA. I think it will do it without much effort.

I know that's right. I did not shoot anything yesterday, probably wont today! 94F with a RH of 80% is just no fun.

The HW35 E .22 all day. I am making myself know this rifle as the best rifle of all time! It has become the One and Only air rifle for me to always know inside and out!

Oldgringo · « **Reply #6233 on:** August 08, 2019, 05:00:02 PM »

I shot my Diana 34 a bit this morning after mowing the yard. 10 shots went into a 1/2" group at 25 yards. I quit before the barrel melted. I hate August in Texas!

John... you owe it to yourself to get an HW98 (R-11).
It will make you throw rocks at every other springer... IMHO

Took my DAR25 for a woods walk this morning, I didn't see any red squirrels but did manage to pop a chipper while I was at it.

I've been enjoying my new 177 Benjamin Marauder. It's the regulated version with the Lothar-Walther barrel. This evening I spent some time practicing off-hand shooting at 10 yards in my garage.

Insanity · « **Reply #6237 on:** August 08, 2019, 11:13:16 PM »

Tan some NOE cast wadcutters through my mrod. Not too shabby decent groups at 10y. 1028 average fps making 51fpe... I dont think they are ment for those speeds lol.

Ran the CO2 out of my Ruger 1022 .177, 2 mags 20 shots and they started dropping off. The 2 CO2 carts have been in it for a week and I shot 2 mags out of it before putting it up, normal is about 40 shots at full power.
Then back inside to watch Packer pre season game.

FX Wildcat and RS78. They were both taken over by two of the boys. I became the man that operated the pump. Ha ha!
