My experience has been that Dianas need tuning and new springs to tame them. They also have a reputation for short spring life, especially the magnums. The HW77 I had was very smooth right out of the box.

I bought mine in 1998, direct from Jim Maccari, with an FT tune. It still produces tight group with a consistent hold.

I saw not too long ago that one of my Field Targets mentors passed away a few years ago. He was a Yellow Forum member, too.

Nice. I had a Stalker-customized Daystate back in the late 90s.

My FT gun is a TX200 tuned to (I think!) 14 ft-lbs by Jim Maccari, back when he was still doing tunes. We didn’t have separate springer categories in the club where I used to shoot, and I regularly beat out a fair number of PCP shooters. Some of the best shooters in the club shot spring guns...

I like that Bullpup kit. 

I had a custom Stalker bull pup back in the late 90s, but I got fed up with everything I had to go through to get a SCUBA tank charged, not to mention hauling it around at FT shoots. I do have one PCP Gun today- a Marauder- but I charge it with a hand pump. I bought it specifically for night...

I avoid moly sprays, as it’s too hard to control where it goes, they contain volatiles that can cause problems and attack seals, and you generally only need a tiny dab. A small tube or jar of moly paste will last for years.

The home indoor official Olympic 10m range ;-). Outdoors I have maybe 30m, and beyond that I have to travel elsewhere.

Just joined the forum. I’ve been shooting airguns since I wandered into my local sporting goods store in 1978 and the clerk said “I’ve got something you’ll like” and handed me a Beeman R7. I’d read about quality European pellet guns, but they were always more than I could afford. So was this...

The article, like most of what appears in F&S, reads like it was written by staffers based on manufacturer’s brochures. 

You’d think break barrel guns would be less accurate, and perhaps they are, but if the mating surfaces and bearings are well machined, the difference is very small. For many years 10m competition was ruled by the HW55, a break barrel gun. My most powerful spring gun is a Theoben Sirocco that’s...

True, the Gamo is not of the same quality as your old Diana, and the cheap scopes included with inexpensive rifles aren’t known for their ruggedness. Good spring guns are another story. Some years ago I sold my old TX200, which I’d used in FT competition, to a friend. Five years ago I bought...
