HY-SCORE Model 806

[SawneyBeane]

Picked up this HY-SCORE Model 806 at a pawn shot that is winding down it's operation with nice discounts. 

It had a price tag of $75.00, sold for $60.00. I have a load of air rifles, but not had a springer like this since I was 12.

Killed a lot of rats from my bedroom window with mine in those days. Nice memories. The sound, feel of spring release,

leather seals, the smell of petroleum oil under pressure all came back. Totally enjoying this one. Only needed some oiling

and a wipe down. Getting 355 fps.

Looks to be in great condition!

Thank You. The bluing is really sweet. I am surprised at the light, crisp trigger pull.

Gauged at a hair less than 1.5 lbs. with zero creep. Diana did not fool around in those days.

Wow, nice little rifle. You got a good deal too, congrats. Let us know how it shoots.

Well here's a five shot group a 20'. Looks like I we have some work to do!

Feeling better, Found out the springer doesn't like shooting from a hard rest. This is standing at 21'. Target is real tiny at that distance.

Best to lube it due to their leather piston seal.

Just in case-
