And the winner is…..battle of the under levers

[seangabrell]

Not ideal conditions for great accuracy but still a fun few hours. Varying headwind coming at me from 5 and 10 mph. A little competition between my under levers. (4) 5 shot groups at 30 yards. Had all scopes set to 10x to try and be as fair as possible. Not too fair power wise as they vary from 12ish to 16ish fpe. Overall best performer was the 97KT in .177 with the most consistent groups. The LGU had the best single group. On any given day any one of them will out perform the other. My favorite is the 97 in .22 with the LGU a close 2nd.

Nice lineup! What is your favorite scope wheel?

Wow! Great group of underlevers. And great shooting.

 

[Sqwirl57]

Uh.... I think you forgot to shoot that bottom right LGU target a few times. Damn thats pretty!

 

[Sqwirl57]

What kit are you running in that .22 97k of yours? Nearly 20ftlbs is impressive!

Just saw that, supposed to be 690. It has its best power with the jsb 15.89’s at 680 for 16.3. It’s running a full power macarri kit with a vortek vac seal

After the second shot I thought I was missing the target. They just kept going through the same hole, I’m pretty sure that’s my best 30 yard group to date

I hate it when that happens. Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy with a tiny group but then I'm left scratching my head trying to figure out what I did differently. Was it me? Did I get lucky and pull 5 identical pellets at random? Was it pure luck?

Great collection. Just a target and a tin of pellets. As simple as it get. Nice.

 

[Bam86]

Nice group of Springers. All very worthy and makes for a fun afternoon.

 

[Pea-shooter O.G.]

That is some fine shooting. And a swell collection of under levers. I've yet to get an under lever, but if I do, the HW97 is most likely the one. 

I love shooting my springers. I was doing some FT practice with a couple of PCP fellas recently, and when I would miss, I would shrug and tell them I was low on air! That one NEVER gets old

 

[Springrrrr]

For those of us lucky enough to get an LGU, once you get the trigger pull modified and bring it down to acceptable levels, it can keep up and surpass the HW97 any day. I have both and it is a war as to which one will perform better on any given day.

Seangabrell awesome shooting. Very nice collection. 
Does the breach open all the way on the TX200 MK like the 97’s?

I have a TX 200 and 2 Pro Sports where the breach opens half way similar to the LGU, find them a little restricted. Crow

Just halfway. And the true left hand models it’s on the left side. So switching back and forth between them and the LGU takes a few shots to get used to the procedure again 

 

[holo07]

Very nice collection.

 

[crowski]

Seangabrell do you find the shorter 200 hard to cock? Crow 

 

[EMrider]

That is one impressive collection of underlevers. Very nice!

Crow I don’t think it’s too bad. Definitely more stout than the full length though.

Thanks all for checking out and commenting on the post. If the weather holds out this weekend I’m gonna do the battle of the break barrels
