Several years ago (when I still lived in NC) I returned from a business trip and my wife told me that the grackles were swarming the feeder and making it impossible for any of the "desirables" to dine on the seed. This resulted in a purchase of a cheap crosman .177 rifle/scope combo, and 14...

I have a Slavia 631 Lux that was tuned by Rich in Michigan. Rich also machined a delrin cylinder that covers the barrel latch release, making it much more "finger-friendly". This rifle pushes 8.2 grain R10 match pellets at 640 fps. It is my backyard enforcer, having dispatched countless...

This listing has been renewed

Purchased two hw35s from Krale in mid September of this year, only intending to keep one of them. I put about 50 pellets through the .177 and the shot cycle is very smooth. A five- shot string over the chronograph registered an average velocity of just under 800 fps with Crosman Premiers, and...

I have two Watts-tuned R9s that cover the higher fps range, so the HW35 in .177 would be sort of redundant. I wanted a lower velocity .22 to make the reactive targets really dance, and the HW35 fits the bill perfectly.

I took delivery of two hw35s from Krale two weeks ago. Both were the traditional stock design (i.e. without the contours on the forend and the buttstock) and the checkering instead of the groove. I'm keeping the .22 and will probably be selling the .177. After break-in, the .22 cronied at...

Admirable genetics and built environment -- would have rather seen her holding a Weihrauch.

Just watched a video review of the HW99s (HW50s in US) and the UK-based reviewer used a decibel meter to compare intensity of sound with and without. His LDC was a UK aftermarket item designed to dampen sound, not just provide muzzle weight. His unmoderated decibel level was 100, and moderated...

Thanks very much -- will try that and report back.

Hello all: I bought an RWS 93 in .177 several years ago to use as a "guest gun" (to allow newbies to become familiar with air rifle loading and firing before letting them touch my good springers). The safety does prevent the trigger from moving backwards when the safety is engaged, but the...

Could you set up a pop-up deer blind inside the barn, right near the door? Once inside the blind, they would probably come back, expecially if you put some bait nearby.

I have always found Pyramyd's boxing/shipping to be very effective in preventing pellet damage.

Beautiful rifle, and I like the intended purpose of just putting the .22 smack on tin cans. I am down to all .177s (R7, R9, Slavia 631) and one .20 (R9), having sold my .22 HW80K a few years ago when I realized that I did not need all that power in my current suburban residence. The Slavia...

That rifle brings back many fond memories. It was the very first air rifle I ever saw put a hole through a tin can -- made a big impression on my 8-year-old self. Also, my next-door neighbor (same age as me) had one, and we spent many a summer day shooting starlings and grackles that we baited...

Great shooting (both the rifle and the cinematography). Rat shooting is one area where air rifles absolutely excel. You may have mentioned this in the video, but where was this shoot located? Cheers, Boomerang
