I was shooting the Beeman P17 and TX200 again today. I really like them. Over the last few sessions with the P17 is shooting well for me.

The 30 and 50 were so accurate as well the 80 only it did it with authority.
Temps. we’re just above freezing, with an occasional sprinkle of rain or snow, crappy day. Crow

Thanks. Sounds encouraging. I have the HW90 in .20 and .25. cal. The .25 was my first Weihrauch. Jacking it killed me, so I put it down. Last Jan. I bought the pump and gauge with the .20, but never used. Been preoccupied by a few springers but itching to get them out. Good thing this isn’t a race. Crow

Got my new HW97K in .20 great shooter. Love shooting the 13 grain jsbs seems to have a really flat trajectory out to 50 yards. Hold over was 1/2 dot from 15 yards out to 50.

Thanks.
74 deg. I’m envious. Again our lake is still half open. Never in 35 yrs, have I seen this.
Beeman 97, an absolute gem. Nice setup and wicked shooting. Crow
Sweet rifle. The HW97 .20 is my last new purchase as well. Blown away by it’s performance. Enjoy Crow

Here in E. Texas, my indoor/outdoor thermometer is showing 82 degrees, and this is the first third of January!

One of the most powerful, if not the most, break barrel. Enjoy Crow
Is that normal for you?
Our temperatures should be 30 deg. lower. We’re hovering around freezing. Crow

No not near normal, like you it should be 30 degrees cooler, forecast just show to be about 25 cooler tomorrow. When I was growing up in NE Louisiana back int the 50's and early 60's it would get cold and stay that way, not Canada cold but highs in mid 40's to 50's on average. I can remember trick or treating on Haloween, my birthday back then and there was usually ice on water puddles, now it is often shorts and t shirts.

Took these 3 out today. HW85 .22 Walther LGU Varmint .22 and HW30 .177.
My first was the 30 which I just finished putting a Vortek spring and piston seal in. So smooth.
When putting the trigger block and spring I got it position by using a tapered awl, I got in my wood shop. With the taper I was easily able to line up the set screw to tighten.
. This was easier than what I saw on u-tube.
Put a different scope on the 85.
Air Max 4x12x50. I love the big honking scopes. Once zeroed in it was deadly.
Shooting the LGU just makes me wanna cry because I never got a LGV or a wood LGU, was so close. Managed to scoop the Varmint. Such a fantastic gun. Crow

If you saw my post last night shouldn‘t be hard to figure what I shot today ha ha. Sighted in HW35E today. Accuracy wasn’t what I expected at first but gun hadn’t been fired in awhile. Once it loosened up and I got more comfortable with it, it shot AA and JSB 8.44 very well. Had 20+ mph wind gusts so will get a better feel for it when it’s calmer. Tried some FTT and it threw them 1.5” low and 0.5” left. Very consistently, nice tight group, but way low left. Seems to have a little barrel droop. Does anyone make a one-piece adjustable for 1” tube? I know Sportsmatch makes one for 30mm tube.
I have a suspicion this gun was tuned. Seller didn’t know since he didn’t buy it new. Zero buzz or twang. Just a quick sharp thud. Really pleasant. Didn’t have time to chrono but the numbers the seller stated with JSB 8.44 would put it about 12.5 lb-ft. Real pleasure to shoot, can’t wait to get some more time with it. Maybe I’ll remember to take pics. Oh, and Crowski it had cooled off to about 75 degrees when I went out to shoot.
Crow, I use piano wire for slave pins. Having a few different diameters around can come in handy.

I took my HW77 out for just a few shots after I swapped stocks. I had a Custom Stock Tyrolean arrive late this after noon and that thing is pretty, not real fancy. My rifle is equipped with Anschutz diopters front and back, and I did need to move the rear sight forward a little so the actual diopter would not hit my glasses. That Tyrolean cheekpiece positions my head just right to line my eyes up with the sights. Even moving the sight a little and no adjustment I was hitting a 1 1/2" diamond shaped swinger out at 35 yards, offhand.
