Edit: Is my price off? Nobody shooting springers? I haven’t even had a bite. This is significantly less than you’d pay for a new 97K w/ PG4 kit, what am I doing wrong???

For sale is an excellent condition Weihrauch HW97K in .22 caliber. Aside from a few very small safe handling marks, the stock is in phenomenal shape. The metal is also in fantastic condition save for a small area on the receiver below the scope dovetail where the original owner hd a ring slip and cause some bluing loss. A Vortek PG4 spring kit is installed (about $100 value). This is one of THE top spring air rifles made, made to last several lifetimes! This one has less than 300 pellets through it, so it probably needs another 200-300 or so to get everything settled in, but that just means she’s nearly new and ready to give you a lifetime of enjoyment!

I’m asking $550 near Lafayette, IN. I’ll also ship for an additional $50, with the barreled action removed from the stock to cut down on package size. No trades, please. Cross-posted, so the first public “I’ll take it” (for the time stamp) followed by a PM gets it. Any questions, just ask. I’m a relative newcomer/lurker here, but can provide references showing perfect 100% positive feedback spanning two decades elsewhere. Thanks!

Here's my 1st attempt at Challenge #1 (paper), next week I'm going long-range with some Peeps & slugs!


Head on down to the Target Shooting Forum >>> and have some fun!!!

Looking for experienced recommendations for my first PCP. First off, I like the idea of getting a decent gun at a good price, even if tinkering is required. I'm pretty handy, mechanical and have access to machine shop if need be. Currently I like the idea of the Air Venturi Avenge-X series because of how well the Avenger has proven itself as a budget option that can still be fairly accurate. Then too, I shoot left handed and the cocking lever on the Avenge-X can be moved over for southpaws. Mostly I'll be plinking and small gaming under 100 yards, with the vast majority even under 50 yards. I like the idea of being able to tune for a wide variety of pellet weights, that way I can tune down for backyard plinking, or double up the fpe for hunting. I only wish that the upcoming Avenge-X was also going to be offered in .30 cal, although not a complete game breaker. Going with a .22 cal for simplicity could leave me the option of falling in love with PCPs and reason enough to buy say an Impact or Maverick in .30 cal., or something of the magnitude later. After all, isn't that what we do, buy our first then go nuts and keep upgrading?
We can't guess how good the Avenge-X might be when it hits the shelves, or how many problems they might have early on.
So, are there any other sub $1000 rifles out there that have already proven themselves as fairly accurate at 50 yards, reliable and left hand friendly?

Hi Guys,
I've got a nick on a laminate stock. See pics below. And I'd like to fix it, if possible.
Looks up close to be wood exposed, like it's just the finish, that's got a hole in it.
I heard a while back about using a damp cloth and an iron to take a nick out. I'm not sure that would apply to this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry

Hi, All:
Day one is in the books and we were blessed to have nice (but warm and humid) weather. There was some great shooting given the dark lanes and overall level of difficulty.
Score board pics are posted below, and we will update with complete results tomorrow.

I was looking at the JTS Comp1, list $499 on pre-order, the GX CS3, list $479, and the Xisico CS3, $450. Gosh they look similar ...
I know this rebranding/rebadging of the same Chinese compressors is rampant, but has anyone found a significant advantage of one over the other?

Hello everyone,

At the request of @EPG I am sharing my drawings for a Shooting Table / Benchrest that I designed several years ago. Please note this is not a “Set of all inclusive plans”, but instead they are the plans that I drew for me to use to construct my Bench. A few changes are noted and a basic bill of material is included, but screws, bolts, top material, etc. are not denoted. I believe most questions can be answered from my own construction photos attached, if not please let me know.

What’s the best source for GOOD hex/Allen keys/wrenches? Most are undersized especially in the smaller sizes causing stripping of heads. I’ve heard that MIP/Moores Ideal Products are good but expensive. Any others to recommend?

Any body have experience with this brand of rifle. Air gun Depot have them ,they are maid in Spain they make an under lever I’m curious about ,it’s the Norica Dream Hunter

Warning, do not try this at home, I am a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL.

Had my Maverick .22 Compact on my 'shooting bench' i.e. my patio table, thought I'd do something brilliant and put my umbrella into the table, table shook a little and down went the gun, call it a drop test. 30" give or take. Landed on the barrel then the scope. I shall not repeat what I said but you can guess. Checked the scope, no apparent damage but who knows, went to insert a mag and....NOT HAPPENING. Upon further inspection the barrel pushed back agains the piece that locates the barrel for proper depth and bent out the aluminum about .006", it also wedged the barrel, so loosened up the set screws, took a piece of wood and a soft hammer and gently tapped the barrel out then pulled it out. Took a fine file and started removing material to get the mag in. THEN used the mag as a depth gage and reset the barrel. Test firing, pellets went exactly were they were suppose to at 30 yards.

Results of the destructive testing, and I'll leave it to the engineers to calculate the forces involved but, the barrel didn't bend and the Arken doesn't doesn't appear to be worse for the impact test.

Next will be, do I live with it or see if the FX warranty will cover stupidity.

addendum, those expensive wide stance bi-pods aren't stable enough.

addendum 2 It seems that the delicacy of the barrels of FX airguns is vastly overstated.

Beyond blessed to be the caretaker of this one.
Super comfortable with a terrific 12 FPE shot cycle. So far just into a trap in the garage. Can't wait to get a scope in it and actually shoot.

After installing a Williams FP-AG-TK rear diopter sight on my HW30S today I removed the Weihrauch factory rear sight. I'd like to install a cover of some sort to cover the exposed screw holes from the sight, does anyone have any leads on such a device? Thanks in advance!

Thanks.

Ok, mainly just some thoughts for now. I'm looking for some experience/input on a PCP rifle.

Firstly, I haven't owned a PCP rifle and have only shot springers.

I recently purchased a HW90 for hunting use and to be honest I think it's a pretty potent gun from what I've seen so far.
I do find it a bit heavy and not really suitable for use with the irons.

I let a neighbour shoot it a little and he's falling in love with it and has asked a couple times to sell it to him.
Not really sure if I want to part with it (Actually I don't want to at all-lol) although I am wondering if I might make better use of a PCP at times?

Looked at the HW100 Sporter carbine in 22 and an Ataman BP17 in 22 cal online. I like the idea of the Ataman. Both appear to me to be similar in fpe and fps to the hw90?

Anyone have any experience with either? Looking to keep a PCP rifle 8lbs or less and under the length of an 8' 2x4.....basically compact overall that is.

Shot count is very important to some shooters. But can be an overstated and overrated criteria. Because there are other attributes that trump it. Depends on what “an individual” is doing with their airgun. For instance, a 30 shot count PCP in a high intensity pesting environment? Subjective? You bet! But even if you go 75% on kills? Heck, even 50%, that’s 15 kills. The majority of air gunners would be lucky to do half that. If target shooting competitively? You have fill sources near by… I used to overly worry about shot count. Now? I just simply shoot and refill when necessary. The only hardship is to the pests. Now take the above and apply it to a scenario where you’re after a game species? You have more than enough shots. Because game bag limits are way below any shot counts. For plinking? All bets are off. Then we just want to “shoot and keep shooting”. Overall a fun, first world problem to have… Thoughts…?

Thursday late evening the wind died down enugh i set up 100 rack and sighted in , yesterday gale force no shooting,. This morning before the sun broke over the horizon it was still so checked my work..

R9 , cphp .177, 100y,. Stock irons. Rested on o"lsock and a block.



Not bad if i say so myself.

I saw this a starting thinking... Why the hell... Pyramid Air... April Fools.

Cheers!

Can adds for junk like this with Taylor Swift be far behind?
