    ***Look at my setup***New gun pictures attached*** Scoping an HW30s

    Hello Gents, I'm considering getting a new HW30s. Eventually I know I'll want to put a scope on it. I was wondering, those of you who have done it, have you encountered any barrel drop issues? I mean my HW35 has a considerable amount of droop so I had to get adjustable mounts to deal with...

    A good alternative to Hawke 30mm medium scope mounts?

    I purchased a set of Hawke medium 30mm mounts. One of the top halves is machines so badly that I could not used them on my HW97k. I know these are economy mounts but would not expect to have this issue. What other "good mounts" are you guys using?

    My TX-200 needs a new 1 inch tube scope

    It currently has an old swift premier 3-12X40 that I got when I purchased the gun in 2004. The image on the scope now looks like watching and old TV set from the 80s. So I want to get a 3-12X40 with a 1 inch tube scope. Budget is $150-$175. What do you use on your tx-200?

    Hey folks, Recently I've tried three different sets of Sportsmatch mounts, on my new springer. These were two piece high and medium mounts and a one piece adjustable. The common denominator has been the base and rings screws and holes are dripping with oil. I've used regular house hold 70%...

    Check my new Leupold VX EFR Freedom 3-9X33 scope

    My first attempt to scope the HW35e was short lived due to the Athlon Talos crapping out. The scope was nice and had a clear glass but the SF adjustment was terrible and the thing couldn’t hold zero. Wanting to try something different I asked around and the Leupold VX EFR Freedom 3-9X33 had...

    How do you like em? Squeaky clean or just a bit of gray?

    When cleaning your barrel, do you go for a squeaky clean or do you stop we its almost clean? I remember that the folks at Straight Shooters used to advise not to get them super clean but instead to stop when you get a light gray patch. How do you do it?

    What can I used to clean the objective lens on my Bushnell Legend?

    I noticed that there is a light film of oil/grease on the objective lens.

    Is this normal? Do I have a bent barrel?

    Today I scoped the new HW35e. I'm using two piece sport match mounts and a Athlon Talos scope. My first group at 10 yards is about 2 inches to the left and 5 inches low. I understand the barrel droop. But I'm worried about the left grouping. For several weeks I could swear that I'm seeing a...
