    12 ft/lb Weihrauch springer?

    HW50 would be my pick. I have one that shoots 7.87 AA pellets right at 830 fps and around 12fpe. Very accurate even at 50 yards. Those numbers are for .177 pellets. Much flatter trajectory than my R7. They are about the same as far as accuracy, you just need a little hold over with the R7 at...

    Springers for sparrows

    I agree. I am a bird watcher and House sparrows can be difficult to distinguish between other sparrows unless you have a good scope with 7X or more at the distances mentioned. Especially female house sparrows. Them and Starlings are nuisance birds and should be thinned out in my opinion. In PA...

    “How Different Can Identical Airguns Be?”

    I have two R7 rifles and as far as performance I cannot tell the difference. One does have a nicer stock though. They both are accurate, the cocking seems identical, triggers are the same, and they have no grinding or twang. Probably got lucky.

    HW70

    Great little gun. I have the pre safety version. 80's model and have shot lots of tins through it. I did have a gunsmith replace the seal but not the spring as it seemed fine. Having trigger issues with it lately but have yet to dig into it. Mine shoots around 430 fps last time I shot through...

    Who's willing to play - you can only keep ONE......

    Already mentioned but it would be the HW50 for me. I love the R7 but the HW50 just brings it a little more if you are pesting.

    Nice shooting.

    HW70

    I have an earlier 80's pre safety model and it is a nice little air pistol. It currently needs a little work, but I have shot thousands of pellets through it over the last 30 plus years and only recently has it needed work. Pretty accurate and fun to shoot. Enjoy.

    Western Pennsylvania airgunners?

    Mercer county. Mostly target shoot with Beeman R7. Lots of gun people here but most are powder burners.

    HW30 playing around

    Nice shooting. I have two R7 rifles and they both shoot that same pellet right at 700 - 710fps. Both original and thousands of pellets through them. I need to set up something in the basement as it is getting too cold outside where I live.

    Winter squirrel/rabbit hunting.

    I am in Western PA and the squirrels near my house have distinct areas and times of day they visit. Usually in groups of 3 or 4 per acre. Best time right now that I see them are 8 am and then around 2 pm. I don't know where they go during the rest of time.

    What Binoculars Do You Prefer?

    If you do not wear glasses and have a narrow IPD as you mentioned then try Nikon EII 8x30 anniversary addition. Wide field of view and they have one of the narrowest IPD on a good pair of binoculars I have ever seen. Longtime birding favorite. Got a pair for my wife for birding and she loves...

    Tuning need help with Beeman HW70

    I messed with it today and one of the CS558 springs was distorted and trying to reform it I broke it. Nice. It does not seem to be the issue though and the other spring was working. I took it out to shoot again and once out of every 3 or four shot cycles it goes back to not wanting to latch...

    Tuning need help with Beeman HW70

    Mine does the same thing as your video. I will have to take the stock off again and look at what I need. Part of the reason I did not want to keep spending money on the gun is that I just spent 85 dollars on a new piston seal. I had a gunsmith fix it and it made a big difference as the power had...

    Tuning need help with Beeman HW70

    Thanks. I looked into doing that and I felt it was a little costly coming from them and not a sure fix. Please let me know if it works out for you. There is also a torsion spring that looked suspicious on my gun. I would get that also. CS559 is the number. Gary

    Also, Please let me know what you find with your trigger as I do think our two problems are related. I do miss shooting the pistol. Gary

    Tuning need help with Beeman HW70

    I have had that happen before also but it is really not the current problem I am having. Mine does not want to latch at the end of the stroke. Then the spring tension opens it back up and you try again and maybe it latches or not. It happens almost every time and I have stopped shooting it...

    Tuning need help with Beeman HW70

    Hello, I have a 35 yr old Beeman HW70 air pistol. It has worked fine for years and still shoots strong, but it is having a major problem with latching at the end of the cocking of the barrel. Sometimes I can get 10 shots in a row with no issues, but then it bucks at the end, won't latch and...
