Think a button head hex screw would address the trigger contact problem?

Wow, I wish I could shoot mine that well offhand! Hats off! I can't shoot well offhand and don't even try unless it's something with a 10" kill zone and very close. But my HW50S .177 of just about any kind of rest, support, sandbag combination isn't the least bit hold or position sensitive...

Sunshine. No rain. Yet. Since we's had a spring and summer of 3 or 4 days of rain and then, maybe, 2 days of not-rain, a rainless day is a freaking busy day.

Question for you knowledgeable folks: What's the diameter of the stop pin holes on current vintage Weihrauch's?

@Caliber 22 Fun thread, thanks for starting it! I assume you are keeping score, right? So what is the running average age to date? Appears to be heavily weighted towards the geezerhead end of the spectrum, with only a few children under 40 chiming in. I'm loving the responses and stories...

@Gibsonvair I subscribed to this post to see how your accuracy improvement project progresses as a guide for resolving any that might come up with my new 3622, which is my first PCP.

My average age seems to increase every year, and I feel it! I'm 66.5 and started shooting 22 rifles and .410 shotguns under VERY strict adult supervision before getting my first BB gun, a Crosman 760, for Christmas of '68. After a short break-in period (for me, by my folks) I was turned loose...

Nothing except for more walnut trees, a handful of box elder trees, an old grapevine covered silo, another dozen big walnut tree below the silo, gray-stem dogwood thickets interspersed with hawthorn & feral apple trees,, some open meadows I bush hog once a year to keep the dogwood and walnuts...

When I said abundance I meant thousands of them, literally, from mow-able seedlings to over-mature fencerow ones slowly dying of old age. As for safely shooting up into the tree behind the house and old barn lot, any pellets I will land on our own property. We have 39 acres and nearly all of...

Boy, I wish a nice classic style black walnut stock on it. Something along the lines of a Winchester 70 Super Grade or even a Remington 700 CDL.

Do have to keep buying new air rifles and PB's in an ongoing attempt to tempt her into it? I do, but she's beginning to question my motives.

It's black walnut season here at Weedy Hill Farm. We have a ridiculous abundance of black walnut trees. Thanks to the red & gray squirrels they pop up like dandelions everywhere. The nuts are still hanging on the trees, green and in their husks. They make wonderful plinking targets. This one...

P.S. Love the Joe-pye weed in flower by your shooting bench.

Excellent! Congratulations. Tell me: did you actually let your wife see you open the box?? If so I might need some coaching on the finer aspects of spousal information sharing.

Jeez, now you got me googling. Not good. Was this tuned by Keystone Airguns?
