I’ve got 3 rifles that are major loopers. HW77k, HW97k both .25 and HW30 .22. They’re my favorites for plinking. I scored 10 tens of lead .25 cal. yesterday to meet demands. You shoot, it’s like a delay action when finally hitting their mark. Also more often than not you can watch its path...

A week ago I took delivery of 3 rifles. Everyone is happy. Just my luck the next day Friday I see an add for this. A HW77 tuned by Venum. Had to act fast.Very touchy situation, and I knew it. I was scared. I mentioned to my wife there was a really nice rifle for sale. I got that “your dead“ look...

I was bitten by the bug again. These were available for a while. I’ve been painting my interior house, nasty job. Got the itch last week. A box arrived today. A box inside the box I scored a HW 50 .177 1972 with an inscription. Hope it’s true. It’s a beater. This doesn’t have barrel droop, it...

Drove to the Post Office in town. Walked out with a long heavy box. It was my first stop of a 7 hour journey. Drove me crazy to have it behind me all day, whispering to me. Got home. After unpacking and sit down with a coffee, I finally check it out. I give my rifles a name and this one is...

I used to down hill ski, Eastern Townships Quebec or Jay Peek. Used to really enjoy spring skiing, icey granulars and warm sun shine. Well I know it’s still winter but the weather around here has been just that. Last week and the week before was just that as well. I put in nearly 40 hrs. on my...

Just picked up an order I made. Ordered 4 sets of Vortek springs on Dec. 26th. I thought they were lost. Ordered springs from the UK 2 days after the Vortek order, got it 2 weeks ago. I could have driven there (Vortek)in just over 6 1/2 hours. The Pony Express would have been faster. Month + is...

What a smorgasbord. Temps. mid 30’s and snowing constantly. 5 black rifles, 3 makers. First up Hadson 130 .30 cal. This is a young man’s gun, and that’s not me. Started shooting at this can which filled with water and froze. The 130 decimated it. I tried hitting the rim and wrapping it around...

In the winter I have a lot more free time to shoot compared to the summer. Problem our winters can go down to 0F. and lower. Makes a bit of a challenge to shoot comfortably. If a strong North wind comes I retreat into the warmth of the house which is 20 ft. from my shooting bench. Don’t like...

Picked up my HW45 .20 at the post office today. Self Christmas present. Dynamite gun. Also got some JSB Predator’s .20 cal. which I’ve never seen before. I was hitting a 12 x 12 in. plate 47 yds. 2 out of 3 shots. Love the fibre optic sights. Not on the P1. Already found a spot. Crow

A package delivered yesterday I opened this morning. Busy yesterday taking down Christmas decor. More tools, yay. Got punches for split pins and a set of Wera micro drivers. I‘m getting ready to install some more spring sets I‘ve accumulated over the last year, 15 sets. I have three different...

I’ve been tuning a few rifles and have approx. 15 spring sets to install now. I’m not satisfied with my crony. I’m using the Caldwell. The FX was not working for me. I would like to get a good quality chronograph. I heard mention of a Garmin Zero and I’ve seen an orange one that looked serious...

With Christmas sneaking up so fast. I happened to see a HW45 .20 yesterday. Hmmm. Santa, Christmas, little early, oh well, good enough reason, sold. Did you get yourself something for Christmas? Lets here. ‘ Merry Christmas, Crow

Came up with a brain wave today. Not going to win a Noble prize. Been redrilling my plate targets, when taking down I noticed a dime on the ground. I’ve lost a load of dimes you use to compare in photos. I found some barrel shaped Earth magnets in my shop. Drilled an under size hole somewhere...

I generally try to shoot in mornings to score more natural light. The daylight is shortened about 8 hours from the summer. Totally hooked on plinking. Today I started with a HW97 .25. I did take another rifle out, a 90, with are a blast to shoot. I couldn’t put that 97 down, talk about selfish...

Constantly, I view the posts and always admire the muzzle ends. Mine just plain, to me, were dreadful, I literally hated them. Naked, not what you were thinking. Filthy minds. I mentioned to my wife that I was going to get a lathe. She says “ya right, you have time for something else”. Here...

I was talking to my son about my targets and told him I wanted some bells. What I wanted was something to let you know you went through the 3/8 holes I drilled in my plate target. I went in the shop today to see him.Starting to paint them darker colours now that I have a white background “snow”...

I did a little running around today. Had a pleasant surprise. I was returning a Hawke scope which was on my HW35. The focus turret literally literally feel off when I went to adjust it. Doesn’t get any easier than this. The Hawke distributor is half an hour away enroute to where I’m going...

*I have a 30 black in .177. It was shooting nicely when I first got it. I took it apart to clean and grease job until a spring comes along. Now when jacking it doesn’t catch. When I take the stock off I can jack it. I shoot the round out , put stock back on won’t catch. I’ve taken the trigger...

I really like nite shooting in the winter as long as there’s no wind. I bought a 20,000 lumin lite set on a Tripod. But it’s a PITA to pull out the extension cord, extend the light stand to set up. It works. Today I disassembled the lite setup and put thelites under the eave. 10,000 lumin for...

All summer I said I was going to get more distance on the range. This week I did that. Spent the better part of 3 days clearing and digging out approx. 7-8 tons of earth. Was hoping for fifty yds. 47 will do. I had a trellis that I was scraping, so I took one side as my frame, bonus. I put a...
