Sometimes the fun goes out of shooting the top of the line HW's, Diana's, Air Arms etc. I own all of the above. So when an add showed up with 2 new in the box Beeman Silver kodiaks dual caliber for 100.00 bucks? I offered 80. He countered with 90.00 and the deal was done. I didn't really need them or want them. I was just longing for the old days when finances were low and every cheap Springer was a challenge. I figured it would be fun to tinker with these. And I wasn't disappointed! First I filled the hollow stock with airsoft bb's. Then I chamfered the breach to ease loading the pellets. Next shoot 200 rounds thru it untill it stopped smoking. Tune in a tube was next. What a difference that makes. Finally removed the trigger lawyer spring. Had fun all along the way. Oh yeah, when I went to mount the scope the right side had no groove! It was just ground flat for the Groove. Ordered diamond grit wheel for my Dremel tool and groved it myself. Didn't turn out half bad. Would not group with the factory scope so I put a descent scope on it and wallla.........this ugly girl can dance! Took quite a few lessons though. But oh well, provided several hours of fun.
Two 5 shot groups this am at 25 yards. 9 under a quarter. Will never be an HW. The trigger is still tough to master at 3.5 lbs. But I think I enjoyed the lessons as much as She did. Also scratched my tinker itch for a while.
