What springer did you shoot today?

[crowski]

Here’s today’s standing fiver, 20 meters. Measures just under 3.5 moa.

I’ve got the HW77 right where I want it now as far as tune, sights, etc. Now I’m looking at custom stocks so I can get a more comfortable hold. Anyone willing to chime in on Lucas Parlsey or Craftsman VIT?

This is the second Lukas Parsley stock that I have owned.

I foolishly sold the first one, and regretted it instantly, if that tells you anything.
The inletting is tight to the receiver tube, and there is no pitch, roll or yaw in the action at all. The rifle fits the inletting with a firm push and bottoms out with a positive stop. No mush, no sweet spot for the stock screw, just a full firm seat.
The exterior finish is equal to the quality of any laminate stocked Olympic 10M rifle from a high end manufacturer.
The stippling on the grip panels is not aggressive and somewhat smooth, but the way that the thumbhole locks your hand in negates the need for a more aggressive surface.
The hamster is adjustable for height, and will cant a full 90° left or right.
I have not handled a Craftsman Vit stock, so can make no direct comparison for you.

The only difference I can see visually is that the Vit stock may be more suitable to shooting Thunb Up, if that is a concern.
The LP stock has no thumb rest and requires a wrap around grip, or rest your thumb across the bridge at the top of the thumbhole.

Love thumb holes.

In the daytime I have a hard time finding time to shoot, always something to do. Except went it rains. Took this pic last night just before 9 pm. I had a fire burning, you can see smoke top left. In the winter it’s dark at 5 pm. Got to like the summer. Gets light at 5:30 am. Most my shooting will be in evening.

Musky opened last Sat. and there’s monsters in there. Bass opens next Sat. I have a date with Stella. Crow

Got time to shoot in the late afternoon. A HW90 .20 at 18 bar. A hall of gamer.

Talk about lucky duck. The female was about 20 yds. ahead of this guy. Duck are normally really timid. They liked my music.

he They walked down my road to the lake.

And after supper a big Bald Eagle was on a rock in front of my place. Got a pic , just as he took off .

After supper I shot this gem. So accurate. a HW30 .177. Going to get a TbT spring for this one.

Had about 45 minutes of light after a late dinner. Good thing as tomorrow is scheduled to be the 13th rainy Saturday in a row.
HW35 .177 Baracuda 8 8.44
My longest distance.

I could get another dozen yards tabling in the garage, then across the deck, but this is going to be my spot for a while.
Bunny kept me company eating clover.

I like setting the bar low.
It leaves plenty of room for improvement.
