I hit the 13,500 shots fired mark the other day with my 80. The mainspring was buzzing so I decided it was time for another cleaning and spring lube. Upon removing the stock I felt that the screw yoke had loosened up. The allen wrench simply removed the already broken off screw head. The...

A stinky wet meat absorption pad really draws them in. Had to cut my distance to 40 feet because they were too hard to see that well. Just cover the vermin with the tiny ball and squeeze the trigger. I am heading out for more action..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC03sHm_YYA

....and last YouTube video is here! I had forgot that my little Sony pocket camera had a video function! Had to give it a try. Camera zoomed to max at 20X. Took longer to set up an account and download than to get the camera set up and shots out to the plate. Pertinent data: Little Sony...

This has been an annoyance since I bought this rifle. That rounded nut backs out which causes the pivot bolt to back out. Next thing you know the barrel is too loose between the fork. I have had this gun apart numerous times which leads to worn fastener surfaces. Even new lock washers would...

This was a factory seal new in Feb. this year with only 500 shots on it before replaced with a Vortek seal. It was stored in a small ziplock bag until reinstalled two days ago. I was getting unexplained low shots and flyers with a notable speed decrease. This seal has less than 900 shots...

Each click of the elevation screw on the standard Weihrauch rear sight equals .005 of movement. I am not missing my Leupold scope yet.

I hit the 9000 shots fired mark yesterday with the HW80 .22 I bought in Feb. I thought it would be a good time to install the new Vortek spring and seal I got last month. I was running the factory spring again while waiting for the new Vortek spring to arrive. The Vortek seal had some heat...

So this morning my wife alerts me to another cottontail rabbit munching on her new growth flowers. Sure enough there it is eating away. I retrieve the HW80 .22, with open factory sights. This was an easy offhand 25 yard shot. The little ball on the front post settles over the eyeball. Pop...

....this time my Leupold 6.5-20 EFR. Will not hold zero any longer. Groups at 25 yds. approaching two inches with no repeatability. On the way to Leupold for repairs, another twenty bucks spent for postage. No problem, put the open sights back on for now. This rifle is very accurate and I...

I am lined up on an English sparrow minutes ago. 30-35 degree upward angle near the top of my dead ash tree. Distance is 30 yards. Center punched the bird, hear whizzing pellet, then get hit in my left forearm by .22 pellet while gun still raised. Pellet drops at my feet. Pellet center hits...

......and my Vortek HW80 spring broke yesterday. I bought the .22 cal. gun new in Feb. this year. Put 500 on the factory spring and seal before switching to the Vortek spring and seal. I expected to get longer life but no complaints. Broke clean about eight coils in at the end of the spring...

...since I went out and reversed the impact surface of my 75 yd. aluminum plate target. Must be at least 2 tins worth of hits on this 5" x 6" .125 thick 6061 plate. Still rings loud even after thousands of "hammer" forging hits from the HW80 .22. Just replaced it with a same size new...

We got dozens of grackles around the house all of a sudden. I hate grackles. Very destructive to songbird eggs and chicks. I started with one for a decoy and they are coming in often. Easy 20 yard pickings offhand. There is a litter of fox pups that just came out of the den. The female...

In my quest to find info on how hot the compressed air is at the transfer port, I found this article. It is lengthy, but I found the info I wanted in the last few sections. The calculated numbers after conversion for this particular subject rifle was around 1900 degrees F with over 2600 PSI...

Been having lots of fun with the new HW80 but am finding out that the Vortex CrossFire II 4-12x AO's have met their match. That gun has too much snap and vibration for them , they refuse to hold zero's. I am talking big jumps in both verticle and horizontal impact with out touching the knobs. ...

I hit the two tin 1000 shots fired mark late yesterday with my new 80. The spring buzz still remains mostly quiet. FAR less noisy than when new. There is plenty of lead streaking in the first inches of the bore and some in the choke areas. The photos are approximately 30X magnified and one...
