My recommendation would be the HW95 in .177. Significantly lighter than the HW80 for carrying around and a little less cocking effort for more pleasant plinking. .177 pellets are a little less expensive if that's a factor for you. 

It's much more controlled to bend the barrel using a vise and three blocks of wood instead of your own muscle power. Two blocks on one side and the third block on the other side between the first two. Use duct tape to hold the wood blocks in place. If you don't have a vise you can make due...

Have seen fox run along the top of a fence just like a cat.

Mine was never pellet fussy. Just used good-quality mid-weight (8.4grain + or -) domed pellets. 

I think things will return to somewhat normal after things stabilize post-pandemic. I read somewhere that some cargo ship crewman were having to spend up to 8 months on the boat for quarantine reasons. That kind of thing can really affect shipping. As for eBay prices...they can get ridiculous...

Have removed a few from Supersports. I would reiterate that you need to compress the rail towards the receiver before it will move. I used a handscrew (wooden clamp I got from Harbor Freight) to put pressure and then gently tapped the rail forward/back to remove it. Same process in reverse to...

Top hat reduces vibration at front of spring and spring guide reduces vibration at back end of spring. The spring guide also keeps the spring straight so it doesn't "kink". Combined length of top hat and spring guide has to be short enough to fit inside the piston (approx). You might not be...

Krytox is ok for plastics. It's basically a liquid version of teflon so it doesn't react with anything. The warnings about mixing of Krytox with other lubes are mainly a concern in high-temp applications where conventional lubes can break down and contaminate things. For airguns that's not...

You're probably not going to get a custom guide for your existing spring unless you have a tuner make it or you make your own using a metal lathe.People who manufacture a lot of parts (like Jim McCarri) don't have time to work on "one-off" parts. Least expensive option is a shrink-tube tune. ...

The C clamp will do or you can use a vise if you have access to one (that's what I use). Go slow and check/test frequently. It's not going to hurt the barrel. Some barrels bend pretty easily and some are like springs. 

The 124's I've shot were fairly easy to break open. It's a ball detent in the breach block and a small wedge on the receiver. I'd make sure the ball detent is moving freely. Could be the spring behind the ball bearing is gummed up. If the ball and wedge are "dry" I'd put a dab a grease on...

I tuned a PE several years back. Don't recall what adhesive I used (if any) on the seal...I may have just left the seal alone if it was not worn. What I do remember is trying a McCarri spring and ended up switching back to the factory spring since it had a smoother shooting cycle. With that...

Started with a Daisy 86/70 at about 9 or 10 yrs old, then got a Powerline 880 (smooth bore), then an FWB 124 from ARH. At 1 or 2 pumps on the powerline you could see "regular" bbs dodge around in random directions so I started using only precision ground bbs. The 124 was so accurate I could...

I have no issue with your choices. The scope seems to be same as "Leapers" branded scopes sold in the US and a lot of people like those. I don't think I've owned a Leapers scope myself so will defer to anyone who has actually used one. The scope is spring gun and gas-ram rated so if you have...

For ammo for the HW95 most people prefer round or "dome" head pellets. Some guns shoot a lot of pellets very well and some guns are very picky about the pellet you use. You should try a few different kinds to see what works best for you. JSB Exact Diabolo 8.44 grain, H&N Field Target Trophy...

The HW95 has Medium recoil for a spring gun so you would want a scope rated for Medium or High recoil. HW95 would also be considered a "magnum" airgun. Here is a post I found with some specific recommendations by members. You can also google search for "spring gun rated scopes" to find more...

Many people new to airguns become obsessed with power (I have been there) and more power is not always needed. For shooting in the backyard you might not need too much power. For spring guns, the more power the heavier the gun will be. Also, the more power in spring guns results in higher...
