    N/A Scope alignment puzzle

    I mounted an Optisan 3x12 on an HW95 using Sportsmatch rings. The scope arrived close to optically centered - was verified by mirror method. Next step was to set up plumb line and at ~ 5 yards and align vertical crosshair. Did this to align bubble level on scope tube with vertical crosshair...

    Source for hanging silhouette targets?

    Is there a source for actual size air rifle silhouette targets set up to hang vs knock over type? Perhaps not looking in right place, but I have found lots of handing targets of other shapes, but not the actual silhouette targets.

    Springer POI: offhand vs. from rest

    This is my first experience with a springer: HW95 .177 tuned by Mycapt65 to a smooth ~14.5 FPE. Since I can shoot 15 yards inside and I have sighted in dead on at this distance until the weather (in MI) improves allowing outside shooting. For sighting in I tried to use the artillery hold with...

    I knew there'd be a moderator POI shift but WOW!

    This is my first add-on moderator experience: a Weihrauch slide-on model for the 16mm barrel on an .177 caliber HW95 springer. The is the type that is held on with grub screws and fits around the front sight. This gun has been tuned and has a smooth shot cycle at 14 fpe. I have read that...

    Moderator adapters for unthreaded barrels vs having barrel threaded

    If installed correctly do the slip on adapters (e.g., DonnyFL or Wolf) for moderators work OK and stay aligned over time? Are these a reasonable option for adding a moderator to an unthreaded barrel or is it better to just have barrel threaded?

    Looking for a narrow width scope mounted 1" bubble level

    Has anyone found a source for a narrow width (12mm or less) 1" scope mounted bubble level? Most that I have seen are 14mm or wider which won't fit my gun unless I move the rings - which I am tying to avoid.

    HW95 Peep Sight Height Questions

    I am hoping to mount a peep sight on my new HW95 .177 - which is my first springer. A scope may be added later but I planned to use irons for a while, and a peep with front post is preferred - a combination that I have used on several boomsticks. With the factory rear notch sight zeroed dead...

    Affect of blades of grass on pellet's flight?

    From my boomstick rifle days I know that anything in a bullet's path can potentially deflect it an alter the POI, however I never used to be too concerned about shooting though a few grass blades at feeding woodchucks with 22 centerfires. For pellet rifles are blades of grass in the pellet's...

    Rear rest for use with bipod - make vs. buy?

    Looking for ideas for a relatively light weight and easy to deploy one piece rear rest for use with my bipod-equipped PCP. I use the gun mostly for pests from the prone position. I have no need to carry the gun far since it rarely leaves my yard. Given the bipod height needed to clear...

    Can a Chronograph give false high readings?

    I am admittedly a newbie with both PCP rifle (25 Marauder) and chronographs, so please bear with me. I borrowed a friend's Pro Chrony (a few years old) and set it up on a bench in my unheated garage for the winter. The rifle was set up on a bench rest tripod and sandbag and returned to...

    Tuning Regulator Pressure Creep?

    I recently installed a HUMA XL regulator in a 25 caliber Marauder. This is my first PCP and first regulated gun. The regulator was set at 130 bar/1885 psi when installed. After the first few charges to 3000 psi, the factory pressure gauge read a few needle widths below 2000 psi - which looked...

    25 caliber Marauder pellet recommendations for Groundhogs?

    Which 25 caliber pellets have proven to do the job on groundhogs at 30 to 50 yards? I have been trying several pellets on paper through a 25 caliber Marauder. The JSB King Exact Heavy Diablos (33.95 gr) group well, but have ~ 1.5" drop between 30 and 50 yards from my Marauder as now set up...

    First PCP: Marauder .25 - Initial results and a few questions

    Recently purchased a new Marauder in .25 caliber with a wood stock for use on backyard varmints (primarily groundhogs at 40 yards or less) where low noise is essential.
