Crow - If you'd like to guarantee you'll get them, and quickly, or when you've given up all hope of ever receiving them, pray to St. Phanurios, and pray for the soul of his mother. And when your airguns arrive -- and they will -- have your wife bake a really nice sweet of some sort -- any kind...

Crow -- Friendly suggestion. You might want to read this: https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Missing-Mail-The-Basics And file a missing mail search here: https://missingmail.usps.com/ This may get them moving on it. Otherwise, it may never move. There's no guarantee it will help. Sometimes it...

Who's the flag for, if you don't mind me asking?

@20calguy - Friendly observation. Take it for what it's worth: Several years ago, one of the more seemingly knowledgable guys on the list advised somebody that when he mounted his scope to his springer, to put the stop pin in the hole and then slide the mount FORWARD as much as possible before...

You might want to take it apart and check your piston seal. You might have blown it already. Our HW97K kicked like a mule -- ok. harder than a .308, maybe a .30-06 -- from day one. It blew out the piston seal, melted the breech seal, and broke the main spring within less than 90 days. I...

So, how do you become a gold member, other than by starting your own private import operation like you have? 😇 That calendar is just too cool...

I'm forbidden to use BLO because of the smell, so I used TruOil on our HW97K & Pro-Sport. I applied it by hand, either on the tip of my finger or on a small rag using a very light touch. The PS was the easiest stock "re"-finishing job I've ever done, and it turned out one of the best I've done...

Well, the Arken EPL4 is huge, but it's incredibly light. And despite its size, it's still shorter and lighter than its Athlon, Blackhound, Element Optics, and Hawke counterparts. Only Hawke's compact model is shorter and lighter -- but only slightly so for considerably more money. So, apart...

You may want to consider treating your stock with Minwax Wood Hardener before applying your finish. I treated our HW97K beech stock with it, and it made a world of difference. I regret not having treated our ProSport's walnut stock with it. It's acquired a ton of small little dents from normal...

A friend recently bought us an Arken Optics EPL-4 6-24X50 FFP scope when it was on sale last month. (You can't beat friends like that! God bless him!) https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/epl-4-6-24x50-ffp-illuminated-vhr-vpr-zero-stop-30mm-tube/ I'm loving this scope. But what do I know? A lot of...

Crow - Maybe get one of these...

Yeah. We old folks remember a simpler time, and miss it. Kids these days have never experienced that. All they know is the craziness we all live in today.

I woke up this morning with the thought that I did the math wrong last night. I calculated you should be taking a 13.333% hit in velocity. That should be 10.67%, for 625.31 FPS if you are to be getting results similar to mine. Please forgive me. I haven't been feeling so great lately.

I live at 9,000' ASL. I'm taking ~24% hit on published FPS for our ProSport. Published numbers for an HW95N on AOA says 700 FPS for .22 cal. So, adjusting for your 4,000' ASL, if I ran the numbers right, you should be getting ~606.7 FPS out of your 95. Based on practical experience. Not...

I think supply and demand has a lot to do with it, too. I'm not privy to Weihrauch's (for instance) sales and production figures, but if you consider how much trouble suppliers like AOA, Krale, and Mundilar seem to have keeping their springers in stock -- you can go months at a time unable to...

All you have to do is watch this list for a while to see that Weihrauch seems to put out quite a few lemons these days. We got stuck with one. Bad news. I wouldn't buy another HW unless I could get it for pennies on the dollar. I haven't seen anyone writing in about having problems with their...

It's never really mattered to me in the past, either. Except now I'm moving from an HW97K that was getting 810 fps to a ProSport that gets 720 fps up here at this insane altitude, and I miss that flatter trajectory, and the extended useful range where I don't have to hold over or under to make...

Yes, and then we have the real life variables like the weather changes throughout the day (which can be pretty dramatic here), I live at 9,000' ASL, using springers, which aren't the best guns to be using at high altitudes -- all these factors significantly affect POI. I have to chrony and zero...

That's precisely why I was asking. I've always sighted in at the near range, and it always seemed to work out well with the far range -- though I can't say that I ever really checked it. But I've often wondered if I was doing it "right" or the best way possible. Thanks, guys.
