    Thats awesome guys wish I could be there with you! got room for blue 97 out the back window?! I've always maintained the air rifle is the best rabbit machine! way better than shot guns or rimfires, and here, once again, is the proof!

    Yep, me too, kept snakes for twenty two years when I was there, used to feed the boas sparrows and starlings shot with my Feinwerkbau sport [wish I kept that gun] now keeping workshop buildings clear with the 97, got sixty two now.

    bloody hellfire missilesbatman, has anyone googled the diseases carried by the European starling? they are a big pest over here in the berry growing orchards, huge damage and massive numbers, big pest here! I love shooting them! keeps my eye in and when I go after rabbits on Saturday mornings they appear like bears in comparison! Same here mate, my boss asked me to hit the starlings that are nesting and messing everywhere around our workshop, so I've been getting in early, got 47 so far with the Blue Demon!

    Yep, I've got a 4-12x40 Hawke airmax on the 97 and I really rate it, same thoughts as you! it's a perfect match for the gun and the shooting I do, I like 8x power the best!

    Im in New Zealand buddy, my 97 is 15.5 ft lbs, all my rabbits on this property are beyond 50m, lying prone on top of a stop bank resting on my porta aim tripod the main warren is 53 metres, 97 zeroed for 50, launching JSB heavies at 809 fps. As you can see from the title 21 so far, my wife has been beside me for a couple of sessions, I shoot mainly targets, the Blue Demon is running a vortek PG2 SHO kit, and on a good day I've shot a 13mm 5 shot group at 50. So Bud it is possible, I do it every week. Currently shooting starlings for my employer, 43 so far...

    Two were sentries warning others of my approach for the last few weeks, 50 mtre head shots, most satisfying
  12. Robo9
    Four more for the vortek sniper
  13. Robo9
    JSB exact heavy @ 805

    Early morning, shot off the trusty porta aim tripod from my usual area, long shot, head shot..... lights out, much blood, got covered as did it!
  15. Robo9
    yup, and if I had an elephant... you'd have a box to put it in! , your post is a great indicator of yourself Topper! [Noddy!]

    Is the blue 97 12 ft lbs?
  17. Robo9
    I can believe it...
  18. Robo9
    Yes you do, ha my 97 shoots like a Lazer on it! love smashing rabbits exactly where I aim just behind the eye..... at 53 m and hitting them consistently!

    Further to this Ian does pellet tests on all Weihrauchs that he sells, even new non tuned guns get shot over a measured no. of shots to establish preferred ammo for that gun, tuned guns get extensive testing of pellet types, so he provides a tuning service and a pellet test service for tightest groups!.... how many airgun tuners do that! In performing the above tests the customer is given a list of the rifles favorite top three pellets, and with HW barrels with successive serial numbers the top three are often different! Ian is also keen to help diy tuners like myself and has phone

    I was talking to my go to person here on this side of the globe recently about the 77/97's and the individual differences between gun to gun, he gave the example of two 97's received into him from the factory, with successive serial no's, yep one no. apart, he described one as good and the other 80fps slower and shot like crap. [he tunes thousands of Weihrauchs then tests them on a Swiss accuracy device used for Olympic shooting events] Following this revelation then set about fixing the problem before putting it on sale in his shop. {Check out gunroom Aus, tuning the HW97K, Ian Mc

    That's great, really satisfying when you get a tight group, I've completed all pellet tests, am sticking with the jsb heavies, they group like that launched from my Blue Demon - like a Lazer on rabbits from the porta aim! and hit hard and penetration is Very effective! After extensive testing they proved to be the best, so I bought ten tins! and I've used half of them,.... ☺
  22. Robo9
    Hey yep, tried those they don't group well in my barrel, it was down to jsb heavies or baracuda match, and the heavies are way better, softer lead also I found H&N harder lead leaves more crap in the barrel after shooting high volume target sessions which I do, and I chronograph regularly to confirm this

    809 fps mate
  24. Robo9
    Go for a vortek kit read about them, Check out the results Blue Demon owner in the Hunting section ...... ☺

    I grew up with BSA air rifles from the age of 12,super meteor, then airsporter, The reason it resembles the airsporter is because it IS the break barrel equivalent OF the airsporter, I remember the guys in Woodies of Wembley telling me that when I traded my meteor for the airsporter....
