Whatcha doin' with those airguns today?

[Frank RW]

Picked up from a NWFA seller this very fine limited-run Gamo Bone Collector "Bull Whisper" break-barrel.

Not treating me with the greatest of accuracy, regardless of ammo used so far. I've yet to get 10-in-a-row under 1" @25y. I'll keep at it.

Very quiet tho', might be fine for night-plinking.

 

[Frank RW]

did a little horse-trading and now have a Diana 350 Magnum in .22.

"ow! that was fun. ow! that was fun. ow! that was fun!"

This just in! A CharlieDaTuna GRT-III trigger for my Gamo break barrel. Very nicely made - looks to be CNC - and I expect that I will enjoy shooting the old one-banger much more now.

 

[Frank RW]

keep us posted with pics during the install @po18guy ?

i'm eager to do one myself someday.

Be glad to. We'll see how it turns out. I really need a trigger gauge to get the numbers on the weight change.

Good weather today for co2, if you can find shade and keep cool.


I removed the front sight setup, since I only plan to use optics with this one.


If you're a fan of the Beeman QB78, you might like this even more. I do.


$130 "tuned" and shipped from Mike Melick of flyingdragon.

The red-dot is a $20 China special from Amazon wouldn't stay in place more than about 20 shots.

Anyway, went with a $15 China special scope from Amazon instead. lol

So far, so good. Oh, got these blocks in today's mail. So I can pretty up the pose a bit.

On a roll today! Not getting ANY of my chores done. But hell, MY chores, I'll get to them. Ask me again in six months.

Nice outfit. You know, if you lived in a senior neighborhood, they wouln't hear the report of your Diana.

As an aside, if you would be so kind, I could use a rec for good .177 pellets- something that Gamos like.

I do have a Diana Chaser rifle kit in mind.


"It depends" is my answer to pellets, but if cornered, I'd say one of these would work. JSB, H&N primarily, but those Daisy flats surprise me often.

Who's got time for air guns when the boat needs work.

Thank you! I will lay in a supply and begin the trials. Just as soon as I get that GRT-III trigger in.

But boat work can be frustrating and expensive. Gotta vent (some targets) from time to time, eh?

PM me your mailing info and I'll send you a few dozen of each as pic'd above to sample if ya like.

 

[Frank RW]

well. how the heck did that happen?

 

[ditchtiger]

My Remington NPSS always had a wondering zero with the Center point scope that it came with. Finally replaced it with a 3x9 BSA airrifle scope. Only did one shooting session and have not given it a good run through.

 

[Frank RW]

Here's one that's been in the closet for a while. God knows why, with that color.



Was going to gift it, that didn't work out, thought I'd at least see how it shoots.

[$100 if anyone local wants to pick it up. As you see it, with ammo and targets bonus. BRAND NEW. For a minute.]

 

[Frank RW]

i so wanna go outside.

rws model 52 ive had for 16 years bought it new - factory replaced spring/seals, and the rws scope rubber coating disintegrated and I got a new one for free a few years back, no complaints took out a rowdy bubblegum crow in the back yard a few months back, its getting about time to do that again. I regularly pop beercans from prone at 100 meters with lead rounds, meisters, love the dome tops. sails them in predictably lol. Great air rifle in .177.

Now if you had said, "Starlings".....

I had one also. got tired of the front sight coming loose. Was my last .177 Traded it for a RWS 34 .22 that I've had for 24 years so far. Worn out 4 or 5 springs and seals. I've killed starlings out to 150 yards with it. That far away and I could still hear the pellet hit.
