Thank goodness. These bills made no sense to me, I am glad that someone with common sense prevailed. Also thank you to Ed Schultz and the Airgun Sporting Association.

So I got my 97 apart and found that about an inch away from one of the spring ends that a coil had a crack in it that was almost broken off. I had shot it on a regular basis last season so that spring at least for me did not last long. I bought the gun used from AOA and the salesperson I talked...

Would consider Weihrauch HW100X and Gen 3 marauder in .177

What a nice looking stock. I know how you feel, sometimes I just have to stop and look at mine.

Isn’t that the truth, completely agree. But on the other hand, I wouldn’t not use mine.

I like that, glad to see that model got some updates that would make it more popular here in the states. I told myself that I don’t need anymore guns but if HAM does a test on one, I will be in trouble. That’s assuming Weihrauch will offer it in .177 and maybe even .20 caliber.

I have been seeing these used at the sight in range before a Field Target match starts and the owners all say they like them.

Sorry this happened to you and that the scope was purchased by someone who didn’t have a clue as to what they had. Reminds me of that old adage: can’t fix stupid!

If it is in the same place that it has been for other years then it is back towards the camping and cabin area across from the trap fields. On the same road as the range and exhibitors, less than five minutes away. There is an open area, then a trail going into a wooded section on the same side...

Thanks for the reply and advice. As far as the spring compressor goes, I just happened to see one for sale from Optics Planet about seven years ago at a heavily discounted price. As my wife would say, it was so cheap that I had to buy it. Pretty sure it was being discontinued, I could have never...

I was wondering what kinds or types of lube that shooters use in their spring guns for the spring and piston seal. Like everything else I am sure that people have a secret sauce that they swear by that works well for them. On a side note, I am getting ready to possibly take my 97 apart and I...

Just curious if this gun is your first springer that you will try to use in competitions. I myself have been competing in FT for many years but only using PCP’s, never spring guns. I bought a used HW 97 about 3 years ago just to play around with. Late in the season last year I decided to set it...

I doubt this is it because it sounds like you haven’t shot it enough but something to also keep in mind for the future is the tightness of the stock screws. Including scope mounts and rings. Best way is to figure out what all the screws should be torqued to and use a torque wrench to check them...

Very interesting article. I was impressed with the Snipe II and we (Steve and I) will continue to do some more testing with it. The after sales service commitment sounded good also.

I thought the same thing when I first started and my first Hawke scope was limited to 14x, this was when the max FT was 14x. Scope did okay but I was never really happy with it. As I have gotten older I found that scopes with a large objective worked better as far as giving me a brighter...
