This mainly means to me the lifetime of an air rifle once sighted in to zero. I have underlever, sidlelever, and break barrels all single shot. I have decided for longevity the air rifles I own are capable of more shooting than I do: They will outlast me. Here are my underlevers, sidelevers...

I finally got back and today I was ready to fire an air rifle! So guess what! I took out the .20 D54 and fired to hit the first target. I set the rifle away sort of proudly by my couch to remind me how consistent it has been. I felt better this morning enough to fire a rifle and this one...

It's a topic we share either in reality or in future plans with our air rifles. The decision involves compromise. I feel the worst thing to overcome in springers is the recoil effect, which itself is damaging to optical sights, and yet optical sights will get the most out of the "Racehorse"...

That turns me on. Always did. The fastest racehorse for the pellet. Ha. Do we go small caliber and stay there for the highest velocity or not? We want the highest velocities we can get in any caliber! Later on comes the mass argument competing with velocity. I used to own a .17 Remmy in...

I've been shooting lately and decided to try out again after a few days the D54 .20 Hector Special. It was sighted in for 105 yards last time I shot it but I wasn't sure if I was to aim dead on or lower: I remembered the lower wire beneath the center wire of the Black Powder Traditions 3-10X...

There was a batch of .20s being made especially for AOA and I dived in to get one and then follow up with another--Basically to dedicate one to iron sights and the other a Swarovski Z3 3-9X 36mm variable rifle scope. They both shoot now and perhaps forever the JSB 13gr Exacts and both are...

my HW35E .22 Silver/Walnut with open sights to hit four silver dollar targets at 25 yards offhand and then when those 4 iron discs were up I took out the D54 .20 HS and centered the top flapper with molten lead to release the lower 4 flappers to shoot at! I used to shoot 100s of pellets in a...

We rescued another puppy that came back from our own DNA swab investment to a dog DNA place as 60% German Shepard, Terrier, and Bull Dog! That's her in my picture here. We actually were looking for a replacement for a Great Dane we lost. We found out what she's made of and it makes perfect...

I had the chrono say a JSB Exact pellet velocity figures issued with the rifle as it came from AOA, but used other pellets since I didn't have those open in a can available at the door where I'd be shortly shooting it. So I used the HN Field Target Trophies around the same weight as the JSB...

Today I've learned and proven to myself patience is a virtue whenever you get your brand new air rifle. My routine is take the gun out and see the bore after breaking it open agains the sky or white wall to ascertain concentric rifling from breech to muzzle. Then I load the pellet and shoot...

This new rifle is the last instead of me being able to complete a collection of HW98s. Each collection is 4 whether you go one way or the other: HW35E is in Silver and Walnut versus Blue and Walnut for either .177 or .22. That is the simplest way to explain the HW35E FOUR RIFLE collection...

I believe the history started quite a few decades ago in around 50's or 60's for this particular type of springer mechanism with the "short stroke and wide volume sweep" combined with accuracy. Today the HW35E is perhaps the best of many worlds with its own mechanical network inside a Walnut...

for the HW98 .22 from my wife today and went to order it but it wasn't available anymore. In the meantime I found an HW35E .22 with "stainless" look or Silver and ordered it without hesitation. I have the Blue HW35E .22 and both Blue and Silver HW35E .177s and felt the stainless appearance...

My newer .20 has never been fired or handled by anyone but me after getting at my address but I do let others shoot my older .20 by two months from Airguns of Arizona --still open sighted. I shot both today but when I shot the Swarovski Crystal Z3 at 3X at a grass blade at 25 yards and pulled...

I used to think I knew what I'd certainly get next for quite a few months and then realized I was out of time with the new air rifles found everyplace looking for homes. I even looked at the 2020 54 Air King Pro I had ordered more than a year ago before the virus changed everything. So without...

I had skipped over the .22 mainly because I have the Long Range Hunter HW80K with silencer and the scope they had on it I replaced to make the HW80K .22 Long Range Hunter with Vortex Viper 30mm rings with 1-6X or there abouts the easiest way to send a .22 pellet to a steel reactive target from...

I took my Eliminator out to shoot steel reactive targets at 35 yards offhand knowing the Trigger on it (way way different from air gun triggers and more like the M-14 Safety for the 7.62 NATO). I got this Eliminator in 2000 and kept it although I gave away the .20 Eliminator and sold the .22...

This is what it is about for me. An air rifle to take "into the field" while just taking time away from suburbia into nature. I'm 63 now and medically discharged from the US ARMY as MAJ (CH). The war for me is over. I can't go back there. I want to be back there. I want to be in the field...

So I took out the lightest rifle in .20 with the scope on and shot when light was pretty much gone. But the scope is really a very good one (as you spend into lenses you eventually get to Swarovski or Schmidt Bender or Docter, or Kahles, or Zeiss) and for me the Swarovski lenses are as good as...
