Shooting my year old HW30 this evening, a shot sounded odd. I inspected the bore to find the H and N Sport pellet lodged about 1/4" from the muzzle. I removed it easily and fired the rifle for accuracy and function and found no ill effects from the lodged pellet. Any ideas why this would...

If you've owned both of these rifles, please tell us the strength and weaknesses of both. Which do you prefer for however you use it most (FT, bench, hunting, etc)? Many thanks and best regards!

I think it was somewhere on this forum that I saw a thread titled something like "pulling trigger better than squeezing". I never read it, but can't locate it now. Can anyone direct me to it? Thanks.

Having fallen for these air rifles with the use of my HW30 the past few weeks, I'm looking for another rabbit hole to climb into. I've read all I can find about the two rifles (the 35 and50). That said I'd like to hear how they compare to each other AND the now familiar HW30. Most interested...

Our Jack Russell loves to go squirrel hunting with me. This evening I shot out “her” 4th squirrel for her with my new hw30. True to her breed, there’s no stopping her endless enthusiasm…..

Here is the 50 yard, 5-shot group I made a couple of days ago and wrote about here in another thread. Still stunned and grinnin’!!!

Do any of you prefer wadcutters for your squirrel hunting? My HW30 (.177) groups them excellently out to 50 yards (which I've read is maybe unusual for a wadcutter). I'm thinking the large flat face should transfer energy well. I've killed some squirrels with domed pellets out of this new...

Greetings all! I've read some comments that the relatively hard and dirty (compared to softer, cleaner pellets) Crosman pellets may wreak havoc on a rifle's bore. I have a stash of them, but am hesitant to use them in my new hw30 because of these reports. I've dealt with leaded rifle barrels...

Greetings all! Why I waited so long to invest in a quality springer is beyond me. AoA sent a new HW30s to me a couple weeks ago and I've been putting it through its paces, learning as I go. A couple shooting sessions ago, the rifle that had been grouping brilliantly, started throwing wild...

I've read that AA may be discontinuing one or more model(s) of their springers. I'm hoping its just gossip or being reported by the misinformed. Can anyone confirm or deny this sad prospect with more than just conjecture? Thank you.

Greetings all! My new hw30s likely has 300-400 pellets through it at this point. It shows that it groups best with 7.87 JSB's. What is the likelihood that this pellet will still shoot best from the rifle after another X amount of shots? In other words, is 300-400 shots likely broken in the...

Hello all. After a few years of waiting, I'm the proud new owner of an hw30s. The rifle arrived 3 days ago and I'm Loving it. On to my question.... I've taken the rifle squirrel hunting the last two evenings and wondered if leaving it cocked for a prolonged period could/would cause it any...

These have crossed my radar as a possibility for squirrel hunting. Thoughts and opinions about them appreciated. Especially interested in their accuracy and just how big of a pain mounting a scope really is. Also, do any of you know if the current production is truly made in the USA? If so...

Which pellets have you HW 30 shooters found most accurate in your rifles? Hope to be the owner of one soon and plan to buy some pellets for it if available through Airguns of Arizona as early as tomorrow. Thanks for sharing if you will. Best regards, Flintlock.

Greetings all. Looking for suggestions for a good scope mount for an HW 30. I've read one piece mounts may be best for springers. I know the little rifle won't recoil like a faster gun, but, wonder if it's still a good idea. Please mention any specific mounts you would suggest. Planning on...

I have an opportunity to purchase an RWS model 45. We're these rifles very well thought of? Anyone know what the rifles weigh? Thanks in advance for passing any knowledge/opinions my way. Best regards, Flintlock

Greetings all. Good to be here as I've lurked long enough. I have a short list of rifles which I'm interested in for hunting. Mainly tree squirrels here in Indiana. The rifle will see a lot of use for plunking and casual target work. Daily, no doubt. Beeman r7/ Hw 30 Beeman r9/ Hw 95 Air...
