Good evening fellas. Hope that all of you have had a fine day today. I sure did. This morning after coffee, I mounted my new Hawke 4x32 scope and BLK base and rings on the RWS 34. Have been using the open sights til now. I've been waiting for an off day to get this done....finally today we got to it. Boy, I'll tell you what! I am so pleased and happy with how this combo has turned out. Now...it took a little work trying to get everything "dialed in" the right way. But, I finally got it figured out. Initially had issues getting descent groups. Honestly I didn't think it was me, however I thought maybe it was the gun being a little "hold sensitive" because of it being a springer. Nope. Wasn't that either. I was shooting RWS 14.5 grain Superdomes. Could not group well. Then I remembered that I had one tin of RWS 14.25 grain Super H-Points. Not a big selection right.......but it's all I have so let's just try it and see. That did it! I all of sudden began getting nice tight groups....at least a heck of a lot tighter than they were. Finally reached a point where I could put the turret caps back on and call it good. Really pleased with this little scope and of course love the RWS 34. The Hawke seems to be a really nice little scope for the money. Now I feel very confident to take small game i.e.......squirrels with it. I took a few pics to share. First time to post pics so I hope it turns out ok. The target shown was at 28 yards.....I used a range finder. We can call it 30.....close enough for government work right?
Thank you so much....TR
