    N/A Mould on my Hw50S

    I was just reading a post about a bad finish on a Cometa air rifle and the particular mention of rust. I only own four air rifles, a Walther Lgv challenger ultra, HW77 stainless, Hw50S and a Benjamin Titan. I haven’t shot my any of my four for a while but I always wipe them down with gun oil...

    Hw50S front globe

    Have you ever done this? This morning I wanted to do some plinking as I’ve been painting for the last two weeks☹️ Anyway I open my safe and decided on my Hw50s. I grabbed it by the front globe and lifted it out of the safe, as this was happening the globe decided to slip off the barrel, the...

    My Lgv Challenger Ultra has changed its diet

    I have had the pleasure of owning this rifle for several years since new. No work has been done on it. Over the last week or so I noticed that it was waning in the accuracy department. I started using Ftt 14.66 gr in 5.53 head size when first purchased and I was very happy with the accuracy...

    Detent spring, Benjamin Titan

    I’ve been doing a lot of plinking with my Titan since I put the little Hawke Airmax 2*7*32 on it. Today was no different but I noticed that the groups were a bit off. After inspecting the rifle I discovered that the lock up wasn’t firm. It’s been several years since I replaced the spring behind...

    You can’t keep a good Lgv down

    A while back I was having poi issues with all my rifles (grand total of 4) and I’m ashamed to admit most of it was my fault. On closer inspection I found that the rings on a couple of rifles weren’t clamped on correctly and this I think created the poi issues. I frequently remove and swap scopes...

    Things just don’t stay the same

    I only own 4 air rifles. An LGV, a Hw77 Stainless ( I know it’s not stainless but that what it’s called) a Hw50S and my trusty Benjamin Titan. All fitted with Airmax scopes. All very accurate. I have had a couple of Airmax’s replaced over the years due to failure and I now seem to be having...

    Hw77 Stainless

    I haven’t shot my 22 cal 77 since June due to various reasons. So yesterday the safe door opened and out she came. No warm up, 10 shots at 35 metres shooting FTT’s 14.65 gr, seated resting the rifle on the palm of my hand. I was using the latest technology in target paper, absorbent kitchen...

    Is there a big difference in pellet drop between 177 and 22 cal

    I’ve owned a couple of 177 springers over the years and currently I only own 4 springers in 22 cal. I moved to 22 cal because there was less variation on windy days, I prefer hunting with the 22 cal and also plinking. I believe there isn’t much drop between the two caliber at 30 metres. My...

    Unhappy Benjamin Titan

    I’ve noticed the last couple of times I’ve shot my 22 cal Titan there has been a very noticeable metal on metal noise at the end of the stroke when fired. This afternoon I needed my mind to be on something else. Tomorrow I get the results from my oncologist on a Pet scan I had on Tuesday. My...

    Yet another HW50S

    Yesterday arvo I pulled my 22 cal Hw50S from the safe. I haven’t been shooting my air rifles much of late and I wanted to see if the rifle was as accurate as I remember. Six groups, 3 shots each, 28 metres, first group top right (adjusted scope after first group). Pellet of choice FTT Greens...

    Dragged the HW50S out of the safe this arvo

    Haven’t felt like shooting the past 5 months, I was diagnosed with Hpv Opc throat cancer back in October, get my first pet scan in 6 weeks, fingers crossed. Anyhow I finally felt like doing something different then watching tv this arvo so out came the 50S. What an amazing little rifle, no...

    Need help finding a bolt for my HW50S

    When my HW50S started to make metal on metal noises I tried to take the stock off to locate the problem. Problem is I wrecked the head of the bolt . When I return from holidays I’ll be returning it to the gun shop for repair but I’m going to need another bolt. I still haven’t removed the stock...

    Benjamin Titan,22 cal, 36 meters

    After yesterday’s disappointment with my HW50S I decided to do some plinking with my Titan. Tried different pellets but the Ftt’s were he best. I had to clean my barrel as she was spraying them. They aren’t the best groups in the world but I’m happy. This will be my last shoot as we are off...

    I’m not having a good run with Weihrauch’s

    I was doing some plinking yesterday arvo with my HW50S. At 36 metres the first couple of shots were bang on then pellets started going everywhere.After investigating it was the 3*9*40 Airmax, shoooooot. I reset the turrets and began shooting but noticed a metal on metal noise, not on the cocking...

    Alloy v Lead

    Yesterday arvo I was testing some new pellets in my HW50S 22 cal and I thought I’d share the results with you and maybe if anyone knows obtain an explanation for this especially as there is only 3.87 gr difference between the two. Gary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDl1ckKzDFk

    Changed finger position on trigger

    I have always shot any rifle by placing the first pad of my index finger on the trigger. Yesterday I was shooting my Titan and as usual I took several shots before I was on the money and then I decided to experiment with finger placement. The trigger on the Titan is not the best and I found that...
