What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Just got back from a shoot up north. Always an excellent time. Shot 50 rounds with the Vickers .22. 
Put that away and only shot my R9 .20, to be honest I enjoyed the R9 more.
We had the wood stove chugging and I cooked my pork schnitzel on it. Man was it good.
I took my range finder, went to 65 yds. Handy tool. Next time spotting scope.
I also shot a I think, a M4 shot gun. What a weapon! Incredible but my ears are ringing. He’s got some insane guns.
1 1/2 feet on ice and snow on ground temp. 34 F, but the wood stove is a game changer.
We’re going to knock down a dozen trees to open it up, one of these times I shoot up.
I’ve cut 100’s of trees in the past. 
It’s like target shooting. Those yellow heavy frying pans on right, put a slug through each, my thumb almost fits the hole, heavy steel. New stuff to me.
The R9 out performed it self. I also shot 8 outdated eggs, they pop nice. Crow

Shotgun slug ain't no joke, frying pan probably aluminum. Shotgun with magnum buckshot kicks harder to me than a 300 magnum center fire rifle.Just got back from a shoot up north.

Scoped the mean green with the Sightron 4-16X42 mill-dot. It started out 6 to 7" right and low, after two afternoons of adjusting the eccentric inserts in the signature zee rings I got it to within a couple of inches of POA, finished it with the scope turrets.
I really want to find a better pellet for this 77K, right now the best pellet is the old brown box crosman premier 7.9 gr. I don't like this pellet, it's small in length and hard lead, it will foul a barrel pretty quick. And I only have two boxes of them left..lol. It does fit the bore on this rifle pretty snug.
Best group out of three right at dark today. 30 yards and 5 shots at a 1/4" stick on dot. 4 pellets in the group, the one low I squeezed off coming up to the dot and messed it up. Anyway this rifle is really hard for me to shoot consistently compared to my 97K and the Prosport. The stock is way different than the other two IDK.
Will try again with more daylight
. Scope was on 10 power, also shot it at 4 and 6 power.

FWB 601. It’s a SSP. No recoil. Pull the trigger, which is 5 oz or so I’m guessing, and holes magically appear right where you aimed. You’d like it. Hoping weather lets me get some play time this weekend, we’ll see.

Had a Diana 75 the same way, 2 or 3oz trigger was crazy accurate. I actually bought that rifle from Joe Rhea he has a video about it, I should've kept it. Here's a couple of long range groups I shot with it benched.
Back in 2017
Would be single hole at close range.

Also ended up making new bronze washers for the 77K trigger to take up side to side slop, I had some shim stock before and it didn't do much.
That concludes the 77K refresh tune.

Yep. Very similar to my Diana 75 trigger. The two best triggers I’ve ever used. Need to find the time to pack the 75 and get to David Slade so I can shoot these against each other. I’ve seen that video, the one where he shoots it against the FWB 300 and decides he’s going to let the 75 go? I can’t believe he sold it. You lucked out.

I think I shot a 2 double odd magnum. Something like that. Really loud. “Say hello to my little friend“. Crow
Your stocks colours are much stronge. Looks really good. Nice shooting. CrowScoped the mean green with the Sightron 4-16X42 mill-dot.

Shot my HW95 in .22 caliber fitted with a Hawke scope and at 12 to 20 yards never missed a single target. A really wonderful gun indeed!

Yes more green on the right side and more browns on the left side. I machined the washers, but you could print them as well. Always wear ear protection with the boom sticks.

Ya I agree. I drove off the road to get to it. I see it but got seriously stuck in a foot and a half of snow. All I wanted to do was to get the hell out of there. Had to plow my way out. Crow

Curious about accuracy achieved with the Red Ryder? I had a Daisy model 25 when I was a kid and it seemed fairly accurate for a BB gun.

Shot 2 of the best. First a Pro Sport .22. 
I put a Vortek spring in this puppy. Man o man, accurate with a great sound. it feels like an appendage, so comfortable. I actually like jacking the gun. I’m always sitting, I rest the butt pad on my thigh and pul down, so natural. I pushed the scope forward. A must have gun.
Switched to a HW98 .20. Bingo
This gun is what dreams are made of. Crow
