    Took the Diana 54 out to 100 yards today

    They are nice rifles. I do have a bit of envy. I shoot my .177 TX200 at 100 yards. On a calm day and quality pellets it will be right around 3 inches. I did some videos a year ago or so now.

    Sounds like what I worked with on mine.

    Beeman Beeman P17 - Junk ???

    I love mine. It could use a better trigger. But for the cost it is amazing. I blew an o-ring and picked one at Lowes and replaced it.

    N/A Springer Accuracy?

    Weight has been the thing making the greatest impact for me as well. My testing suggests a small help with lube, but my testing is limited and any result could easily be accounted for as placebo. 🤔 Lube does seem to keep the rifle barrel cleaner, but that could be a placebo as well!

    N/A Springer Accuracy?

    Here is how I weight sort. I have not found getting finer improved things. The AA pellets are pretty consistent for head size. Mine likes 4.52mm. Everyone has a favorite lube. I stand my pellets up and do a light spray with Beeswax.

    N/A Springer Accuracy?

    My TX200 MKIII in .177 is 0.75" to 0.50" pretty consistently in decent weather with sorted and lubed pellets at 50-yards. This is what I would expect from a springer. I don't shoot 20 yards very often. I shoot 50-feet which is 16.6 yards. I expect about this: I expect this occasionally.

    Do you shoot using safety glasses?

    I am blind, functionally, without my glasses. No real option. ;)

    Any idea on what this is?

    A friend picked this up used, from a used dealer who took it in in trade. It has a nice fully adjustable trigger that suggests a match style rifle. It appears to be CO2 operated and has a "fill tube" but it is not clear what it uses for the fill. It is .177. It has an Anschutz style to it...
