I’ve been a gun enthusiast all of my life but only for the last 20 years have airguns been an interest of mine. Over that time, I went from custom Crosmans up through owning several Edguns and other higher end PCP’s, always scoped, pretty much passing over springers all together. As time passed, the airgun collection thinned due to lack of use and frankly interest. During a routine eye doctor visit in early 2021, I was told that I would need cataract surgery sooner than later. I was also told that the replacement lenses could be upgraded to where I wouldn’t really need glasses any longer. Well, I’ve worn glasses for about 30 years and over time, the old eyes have worsened and the idea of getting rid of those damn progressive glasses sounded great. With surgery scheduled, I picked up a brand new HW98, mounted a new scope and was ready to use it, but never did. When the second eye was completed, I realized, WOW, I can see. Not only could I see down the entire barrel of the rifle but I could also see the target, all without adjusting my glasses or finding the right place in the glasses to look through. Ending of the story, I sold the HW98 to a forum member, and these beauties make up part of the new collection, WITH OPEN SIGHTS. Nope, not looking back because I can see so good looking straight ahead.
No, it’s nothing compared to Crow’s collection, but gimme some time.
