So.....what did you shoot today?

[Oldgringo]

I ran a half dozen rounds though my new FWB Sport but it was too cool to stay out for more.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was windy, 12 mph winds and cold but I wanted to shoot. After a few shots I went back inside.

So Greg, how does the sport compare to your freuleins?  I'm really interested in one but I have so many HWs now that I don't want to spend the $$$ to have something that I don't enjoy.  I think the sport is a stunning looking gun.  I love the angles.

It looks much sexier compared to the equivalent HW, Mr. B.

I am not a springer guy but I certainly like its lines.

I put one in the cart the other day.  I was strong and resisted and did not buy.

I just now put one in the cart, I’m trying not to buy.  There are only 5 left in stock......   oh the agony!

I don't hoard, Mr. B.

You already have HWs, so just stay with them.

I was just telling myself something similar.  I should just refine the ones I already have.  But that FWB looks SO good!  Ah, I just feel it in my hands now and to hear that THUNK when the trigger is pulled.  Just imagine how beautiful it will look when I open the cabinet door and the light hits those fine lines with the highlights and the shadows....

Lol!

Been eyeing those over $2k FWB's and Walthers myself 

I have the funds but I could not seem to justify getting one, as my only child (23 YO son) does not lie projectile-firing implements of any kind..

I am kind of waiting for the FT Air XT150, which is in the same league, more or less.

Like you, I dunno, sir, lol!

[Matchstickshooter]

  Did some swapping around and put the CP scope on the Crosman 66 and sighted it in.

[Xraycer]

Shooting?............Nothing!

Way too dang windy, today! 

[Jshooter71]

Shot about 30 CPDUMs & 30 CPHPs through the Parrus at 20 & 30 meters this afternoon. It’s doing great with these sights, but I’d really like to put a Williams sight on it.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Richard is a terrible enabler.  I probably bought my second Crosman 1400 because of his encouragement.  
I got a new scope last week so now I’m swapping glass around.  I took my Hammers 3-9X32 magnum rated scope off my XS60 and put it on my .25 cal Hatsan Striker.  I sighted it in at SEVENTY yards today.  Like shooting a mortar.  After I got it on paper shooting 19gr FTTs I put a battery five down on some beer cans. Three cans for five shots holding 6 Mil Dots over the target.  Pretty darn good for the “Hatsan Howitzer”.

Hi Carter.

 
                                                        > "A Hassan Howitzer that is like shooting a mortar" <


You have pretty much described my rifle too.
I have a Hatsan Vortex Edge that I bought in .25 caliber.
I used it for hunting shots of 25 yards or less.


After I bought cherokeesteve's .25 cal. Magnum 125 Spring Piston rifle... I re-barreled the Vortex Edge for .22 cal, with a barrel that SteveP-52 gave me.
Nowadays, as a .22 cal hunting rifle, the Edge shoots a lot better at ranges beyond 25 yards.

The Hatsan TH Magnum 125 Spring Piston rifle will shoot 19.91 gr. .25 cal.Vortex Supreme domed pellets at around 750 - 800 FPS.
That was the crony stats that cherokeesteve videoed and sent me.
I cannot re-verify that information as I do not have a chronograph.
The Hatsan 125 is my .25 cal hunting rifle now.
It does pretty good out to 45 and even 50 yards.



Best Wishes - Tom

Note :
Below is a picture of the .25 cal. Magnum Hatsan 125 TH spring piston rifle that I bought from cherokeesteve.
I took this picture last year while I was out hunting in the backcountry of the North Woods close to where I live.
 

[bReTt]

Nothing at all.  Didn’t even have a chance to.  Maybe tonight at midnight?  Ha ha!

[Blowpipe Sam]

Hey Tom.  I’m loving this .25 cal Striker.  SteveP gave it to me with a nice tune.  It’s shooting between 16 and 19 fpe depending on pellets.  I’ve had a 4X UTG scope on it until recently.  I wanted to see what it could do at longer range.  The 70 yard thing was just an experiment.  This gun has the guts to reach 30 yards with plenty of mojo left for squirrels and it is darn accurate too.  It’s got me thinking about a 125 in .25 cal.  Until I take out my .22 cal 125.  I just don’t hunt anything that the .22 version isn’t sufficient for.
The Striker is such a nicely balanced package that I’d love to have one in .22.  I think .22 is just about perfect for a power plant of that size.  Of course I’ve got three other .22s that all fit into about that same envelope and performance so I just can’t justify buying another one.

Hi Carter.

I've got one of those too.
It is a .22 cal.Walther Talon Spring Piston Magnum.
The Walther rifle was another gift from Steve P-52.
The Walther is actually a Hatsan 125 that was rebranded for Walther.
It is pretty much the same, just a few little cosmetic differences is all and the composite stock is slightly deferent.

I ran a whole bunch of CPHP through my new FWB Sport today and became frustrated with my old eyes and FWB's exellent open sights.  I ordered PA recommended BKL rings from PA for my remaining Nikon 3-9 EFR.  When they arrive and the scope is mounted, I'll fire for effect with the higher priced pellets.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day.  Lord willin', I'll shoot my Dianas and HW's at my 25 yard teaspoons and 30 yard targets.  That's before this weeks' forecast rainfalls and the arrival of the FWB scope mounts.

[bear air]

I shot my 22 armada with the MMHF barrel in my 13 yard indoor basement range. I'm not sure how many pellets I have through the barrel since the last cleaning but it is still shooting the hades pellets very accurately. Then I shot my PP750 too.
