What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
I shot my Diana 350 Magnum today. I bought it home from the pawn shop. cleaned the barrel as it was pasty in there. Checked the scope out which was mounted like a X instead of a cross ? Seen this before one time. Straightened that out then went in back , and tried some Crosman 10.5 which fit to tight in barrel , so I tried the H&N field target trophy , FTT in 8.4g just a couple shots #1 888.3 #2 888.6
That's good for the chrony. Now I'm going to a disassemble to clean it up , and lube all moving parts , and oil the blue. OV.
Edit it came out nice.

They look rather interesting. They appear as though they don't weigh very much. How do they perform? Specifically, how are those triggers? I've gotten some surprisingly good accuracy from some Chinese air rifles, but the triggers always disappoint.

4 of a kind today. First HW97 .177. Has a Vortek 12FPE spring. Sweet gun.
This HW97 .20 wouldn’t have 100 rounds through it. Already a winner.
This one is my first 97. .22 cal. Smoked a few Tree rats with this one.
And best for last a HW97 .25. No spring yet, but a winner. 
I clobbered a few flies at 25 yds. Turned them to Vapor. All great rifles.
‘Crashed early, rare, yesterdays shoot. Crow

I was getting ready to ask what time you get started today lol. I'm going to see if there's a lighter spring for the Diana 350 , but I was thinking as soon as my Airgun credit cards are paid off I'll just get me the Weihrauch 34 you suggested seems like something I could use till I go to the other side.

We’re in a heat wave for next 2 weeks. This is 6:15 this morning, looks hot. Temps going over 100 this week. 
Gave my LGU a break from squirrels. Did a little plinking.
Really unfortunate these are discontinued. Top of the line. Crow

I’ve been reaching for the HW45 recently, neglecting the HW35. I almost forgot how smooth it is.
30 yards
The sky is almost blue again.
Everyone have a safe weekend.

Funny, we're enjoying Canadian air here in Pennsylvania. Nice low humidity days upper 70's to mid 80's, nights in the 60's. We've even seen 50's overnight. 11:58 pm and 66 outside right now, Windows open all day.
Hardly touching airguns lately, though. Fishing. Wading the Susquehanna tomorrow for smallmouths. Rugged river to wade. Water feels so good. Bass up to 20". Had been wading mountain streams for trout since spring. Wading shoes, no boots.
Extended forecast is a relatively mild August.
