LGU + Wind = mixed results

[seangabrell]

Managed to get an hour behind the trigger today after yard work and closing the pool for the season. Winds were far from cooperative at 10-15mph coming from all directions. 30 yard groups were pretty decent, 50 yard was WTF!?! I did manage to go 10 for 10 on the 2” diamond at 60 yards and 6 for 10 at 73 yards. The Rowan trigger is insane breaking at just under a pound. A Maccari full power spring is sending JSB 15’s down the barrel at 662 FPS for 15.5 fpe.

Nice shooting!!



As a newbie to springers, could you tell the brand and details on the rifle? I don’t know what LGU means…..



Ive been looking at an Air Arms TX but I really like the look of yours. Thanks

It’s a Walther LGU. Very similar to a TX200. They are no longer in production but can still be found. I prefer it over the TX but that’s just personal preference. Both are great rifles

Thanks for the info. I’ll keep an eye out for one. Unfortunately there are no shops nearby that would have something like that so I guess I’ll be watching eBay, classifieds, etc…



It sure is a nice looking rifle….

Very fine shooting there. Why is it that rifles like that go out of production so quickly. I've never seen an LGU that can't shoot right along side a TX200 and hold it's own.

Fantastic shooting! What a beautiful rifle! Those are good groups any day.

What vortex do you have? Holding up good on your springer? I got a vortex crossfire ll 4-16x40, guys at vortex told me it was air gun rated, I'm thinking I'll use it if it will take the abuse.

It’s the Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50. It has about 1000 rounds on it with no problems yet. I contacted them as well before I purchased it to make sure it was covered

Seangabrell, nice... that's a step up from the one I have. Right now I just own two vintage pumpers, but looking at getting either a springer or pcp. Nice to know it will hold up to the recoil. Thanks for the feed back and happy shooting!
