    If it's PX adjustable, you've got a cracking scope for your HW. Full bore scopes are made to absorb recoil in one direction when the gun moves backwards. The thing about those types of scopes and airguns is only in issue on spring powered guns as they recoil in both directions. Back when the piston's released then they snap forward when the piston's compressed the air. Not a problem with your HW100 Enjoy!!

    I've been doing a bit of fiddling with my own and a mate's HW90s and have found something that seems rather strange to this particular rifle that I've never come across before. I'll try to explain this as best as I can after a couple of beers, so here goes. Firstly my mate Paul got himself a 90 under my recomendation last year, it was in .22 but Paul fancied trying .177 after cutting his teeth on .22. He's fairly new to the sport and had been using my old Lightning for pest control on his small holding. I had a spare .177 barrel from my own 90 ( I've had this rifle since 1995) as I cha

    I've always gone for body shots on squirrels, rats, magpies and ferral pigeon as a matter of course and I always will. As has been said, so long as the correct part of the animal's body is hit then it's dead, .177, .20, .22 or .25.

    It's a lovely looking place mate, but I think the gene pool could do with expanding judging by the second clip

    I've been stung before with ebay rubbish scopes.. Never again. JSR get my vote for low end optics.

    From what you've said it seems that you're a more than capable shooter who knows other expreienced shooters who you've probably already asked. You seem to have ticked pretty much all of the problem box's so I'd bet it's down to your scope. Let us know how you get on

    I've an EB22 but that's a new one on me, mate. You may be able to fit a weaker hammer spring but it'll be a case of removing the old one and trying to find a suitable spec. replacement which could be a pain. Google TR Rob, he does a fair bit of after-market kit for Co2 guns.

    Not too much choice on Freeview but out them all on just now The Frozen Planet takes some beating. My Name is Earl has me laughing!! Very well written with a dry wit. Full of one-liners.

    Try harder!!!! LOL What type of gun is it, mate?

    It's cheered me up, reading this. As said, Davy's a very decent bloke as are quite a few on here. It's good to read about other members meeting up

    Great footage once again and that first woody was a cracking shot!!

    It could be the way you're holding the gun, from what you've said. When you check are you resting the gun the same way from session to session? Springers can be very sensative to a change in the way the gun's rested or held that will cause exactly the problem you've described. Edit to add... It's not creep from what the bloke's described Mike, that's either a steady shift in zero or totally erratic groups, not accurate groupings that shift on the target.

    As above, Epiphone do some nice guitars for the money. Yamaha are well worth a look too.

    I don't know about a different piston washer mate, but one trick I know to help kill dieseling with leather washers is to give it a good dose of pure silicon oil. It won't diesel under airgun pressures and will help kill the effects of whatever other mineral oil the previous muppet's stuck in there.

    How cool's that??!! I've got to agree with the above, I hope I'm still shooting that well at 70

    It is an interesting opinion and fair play to the bloke for voicing something that's probably not going to make him too many friends, but as has been said above it means to most folks as a sign of respect to those who have given for what they hoped we would have. The sad fact is that most of their sacrifice seems to be have given in vein. I wear the poppy with pride and sadness.
