Scope? Time to replace?

yes indeed,bad scope,make sure your new scope is springer rated; the scope may cost as much as your springer:(
I'm going to give this scope one more try, may be a waste of time but I have more time than money. Like you said a good scope will cost more than what I paid for the rifle. Just what to rule out operator error. Today I waited till dark and bore sighted it again and tomorrow I will put a few pellets at the target and fine tune, a few clicks at a time. Not making large adjustments all at once like I did before.

Results  Tulsa FT Match February 8th report

Sorry I’m a little late on this. A lot going on at work.

Another great match at the Tulsa FT club yesterday. Ten souls braved a chilly, overcast and somewhat windy day.

It was a sixty-eight shot match (not a misprint) with ten lanes of three targets, two shot per target. In addition to this, the two forced lanes one standing and one kneeling, two targets per lane, two shots per target, were added into the mix. Thus, sixty eight. We want you to get your money’s worth.

And a real bonus was we had a special guest, Jeff Cloud, all the way up from Arlington, to see what all the hubbub in Tulsa was all about. Thanks for coming up Jeff!

But the real cherry on top was when Bob Benda from OKC CRUSHED IT shooting a 54/68 FOUR shots ahead of 2nd.

So what makes this so spectacular??

Bob is 80+ years old!!

Dude came to own the match!

Bob, next match you DOMINATE you’re gonna have to “pee in a cup”. You’re a taking a little more than vitamin supplements….

In all seriousness, CONGRATULATIONS and good shooting Bob!

Next months' match March 8th will be our 1st anniversary match. We will have door prizes (thank you Pyramyd Air!) and other fun stuff happening.
Be like Jeff; come out and see what all the hubbub is about!

See you there!

Other  Hammerli AR20 Pro

I had one during my 10m rifle phase.
Trigger was excellent
I don't recall it being loud at all, most rifles with bloop tubes are barky, but not this one
Stock doesn't feel cheap at all
cheek on mine would swap, but you have to order a lefty grip

The ad for them says "ambi stock", so maybe the grip was reversible but it has that tail on the grip

Mine was pretty darn accurate and didn't seem nearly as heavy as the ads report. It was also not pellet fussy at all, but then I fed it pretty decent target ammo. Nothing exotic, but Meisterkugln and such.

I don't think you'd be disappointed at all with one. I had FWB 600 versions and of course they're SSPs but the stock felt fat and clunky compared to the svelt stock on the Hammerli

What scope magnification do you like to shoot and why?

50x and "retraining" myself on a 60X at the moment. The important thing for me is not having to search for the target at that mag. and have it aligned on my sight as soon as I put my eye to the scope. Also, being disciplined enough to allocate time to move my eye away from the scope and take in ambient conditions a few times before committing to the shot. At those high magnifications all you see is face plate...

RAW Rapid  RAW Pistol

Speak with Martin at Airguns USA, he can set you up with most anything from Raw, including one in .20.
Great Shooting!
If you happen to be able to make a FT match at Fairfield or Mid Ohio this year you’re welcome to try it. Just let me know because I don’t always bring it to every match.

HW/Weihrauch  HW100 Manometer gauge very inaccurate question on replacing

I never saw one myself, but I was curious. I found a youtube on the digital gauge, and a link to the vendor. I have no experience with airgun digital pressure gauges, but I used industrial digital gauges for vacuum systems/gas feed for many years. Those gauges were very reliable, but really uber expensive.
In my experience with gas feed regulator gauges, (positive pressure) the thing that killed them was abrupt changes in pressure. Like I said, I did gas into vacuum for coating and semiconductor applications, and fast feed would fatigue the the gauge pretty quick.
Pyramyd Air had one for 180 bucks, while analog is about 6X less.
Youtube linked gauge was under 50 bucks. Of course you need the correct thread interface for your system.

HW/Weihrauch  Show your hw 35...

Thanks Wadcutter! Three beautiful rifles fer sher, and I appreciate your tying down those transition dates.

The Bayern Luxus is my personal favorite of all HW 35 stocks. It was similarly made in beech for the HW 50. My 1980-vintage HW 35EB (Beemans Export stock + normal 19-inch barrel) also has the early one-sided safety.

Another post reminded me of a funny story

I realise a gun is a tool. I try to take care of my tools, but don't let it stop me from using them. Just like my truck, it's a tool, but i wouldn't think of trashing it. I guess there's a level of respect for what you without going crazy. I'm working on a better life one day, and this one is only temporary.

Beeman  Scope stop

Installed a BKL One-Piece DC mount, cleaned barrel, used JTS 10.4 gr 177 pellets, MUCH better.

Could be the cleaning and pellet change would have addressed my issues, but I like the BKL mount and the barrel clearance. The only interesting item is the clearance, or lack thereof, between the middle of the mount and the erector section of the scope. I can barely see a sliver of light between the two.

But, looks and works well.
As they say in the machining industry, clearance is clearance..lol. You got a couple thou you got a mile.

Blackwolf Rising

So you tell me where oh where, could Daystate have come up with the tension approach to the Black Wolf? I shoot mostly Daystate Rifles have won and placed @ EBR 2018 and 2021. I guess I am naive to think the business world would take care of those who help make you popular and successful.https://youtu.be/kDjh4PwyCkw
The tensioning system on Blackwolf came from the 2022 BRK Ghost, which was in turn inspired by the system used in 2021 by Fady Kiwan who used it in the lebanese championships before going onto win with it in the BR world championship and I believe the year before used it when he placed 2nd at EBR?. Daystate appreciates all its shooters, and I see in your post sponsored clothing provided by daystate america. This doesn't mean that it can provide financial support for every shooter who enters or does well in a competition, but it does support the competitions themselves. You mention EBR and at both the matches you attended Daystate contributed to the prize money and to have those matches take place.

Jim,
I'll also pile on that I too have had a Benjamin Marauder Pistol, commonly referred to as a PRod. They are very light, handy (short), accurate and as Feinwork (post #14) noted good for pesting out to around 30 yards. It's a gun that you could easily take for a woods walk, unlike some of my bulky and/or heavy airguns that I have. I felt that it was quiet enough that I never put a moderator on mine. The only reason I moved on from mine was that where I live the pests generally start out around 30 yards and go out to around 140 yards. Even so, I wish that I had kept mine as it is a great gun for introducing others to airguns and it would have been just the ticket to loan to my buddy who pests (squirrels in his garden) are not over 30 yards out. I hand pumped mine also, and it is no chore with the small air cylinder. It is one airgun that I regret selling and will probably pick up another sometime.

The Stoeger Ranger that you are considering, will be much longer, have more power for longer shots (killing power & trajectory) and as I have read (don't own one) will be louder and a moderator added onto it (adding even more length) would help for hunting or if neighbors are an issue. Which is all fine if it fits you're needs/wants.

Jerry

I've included a couple of links for the reviews, there may be better prices elsewhere. I would not buy through Amazon unless it is shipped/sold by an airgun dealer due to their poor packaging.
