    Agreed. Mitch, ( Villaman ) put me onto the lighter pellets some three years ago , Falcon Accuracy Plus in .22 and JSB Exact Express in .177. I`ve just bought a classic MK1 HW 80, in .22 and the Falcons are very powerful and extremely accurate, here's her numbers Gaoler. 626.64 ft/second, 11.71 ft/lbs atb, Mark.

    Lovely work Jimmy, as always. The coffee tip is one to remember I won't forget that you are first refusal on the 77 but I have to admit I love that old girl. Again, lovely work Jimmy.

    Hi buddy, If it helps, I bought a brand new, shiny, Walnut Pro Sport a few years back that came to me beautifully ready for a finish to be applied. My RFD advised me to apply Walnut oil, which I did. One of the regular lads - Big Mac, ( Jimmy ) should be along soon, refurbishes rifles regularly and prefers different oils for different jobs, here's one of Jimmy`s refurbished rifles that I bought from him. (front rifle, beech and true oil I believe )

    Nice write up Phil, Good luck with the 57 buddy, only ever picked one up and shouldered it, never shot one, if I remember correctly the loading pop up port was`nt my cup of tea either but saying that its a HW, and normally that means quality. Interesting post Phil, please let us all see how you get on with her both shooting and stock work etc. atb, Mark.

    Bit of paper bashing, Pro Sport. .177 38 yd zero The mighty MK 1 HW 80, .22, 38 yds. Weeding , lawns need mowing next. Ah well, doing the lockdown like everyone else. Left the perms well alone .

    Nice shooting Rob Buddy if your rifle is producing 880 ft/sec with the 10.34 grain JSB Heavies .177 caliber she is producing 17.78 ft/lbs. A lot of people state 18ft/lbs is the perfect muzzle energy for the .177 caliber ? Again, top shooting mate.

    My two sister-in-laws are on the front line ( front line nurses ) and are refusing to see their children and grandchildren until this is over, we as a family are so, so proud of them.

    Naar, not for me Si unless I had a tutor stood at the side of me all fecking day. Give me the old church windows or roofs, I`m your man but give me an IKEA cupboard and I get angry and frustrated with a bigger bag of screws left over than I started with Each to their own buddy.

    I spoke to Jonjon about this old girl Jimmy because, as you say, he was a previous owner. According to Jonjon, originally Davy T63 once used this 77 and had a stage 2 tune and trigger tune from Sandwell Field Sports done to her, Jonjon checked up on this with Sandwell and yes that was done, she also has the Sandwell stickers inside and out. Now that MK1 80--- an absolute beast of an air rifle, is not silky smooth like the 77 is, so me being me, I have spoken to Tony Wall at Sandwell just the other evening and he can do nothing until this lock down is finis

    Or employ a heavy .177 pellet.

    Plenty of info` on these rifles if you google it. There's a particularly good section on the BBS forum Phil. Plenty of power in them after a good service too Looking at the photos of them they really do scrub up well . Is the trigger adjustment screw not directly behind the trigger blade and within the trigger guard ? Good luck.

    Yes the Pro Sport is a heavy rifle but if you are a static hunter, which I am mostly, that weight really plays into your hands . Shooting a heavy rifle off Primos sticks and seated makes for a very, steady set up, and that's what we all strive for . The HW 97K I shoot is also a very fine rifle in every way and like the Sport, if you do your bit you'll find it hard to miss with either of these two. Before the question comes, of all the rifles I own there really is`nt a preference unless I,m on any needed pest control, then

    Well with all the self isolation I`ve hit the home practice range with a vengeance and fine zeroed all my rifles this last week. The Pro Sport is a rifle that Jimmy, ( Big Mac ),spoke many a word to me about and eventually, after a nice job at work I treated myself to a walnut Pro Sport in .177 cal` a few years back. So glad I listened to him, she remains untouched and I think will always stay that way with me. Here's her numbers last night from cold - 810.367 ft/sec`, 11.48 ft/lbs. 1st card, shot cold, 38

    Well I thought I`d put up a photo or two of these classic hunters.( bored ) I am wanting to use these rifles more than any of my other rifles with the shooting challenge they bring. Top down 1, Early MK2 HW 77 long .177. 1986. 2, HW Eighty MK1 .22. 1983. 3, FWB Sport 127 MK1 .22 . 1979. 4, FWB Sport 124 MK1 .177. 1978 ( looking for a suitable scope )

    Hi Jiffjaff, Buddy have you had her apart or a gunsmith ? If a gunsmith take her back to him and tell him your troubles. If you have done this work it could be 1, Dieseling 2, Loose stock screws 3, Faulty scope At a guess, from what you describe, she has far too much lubricant in her that's getting where it should`nt. Strip and degrease, then apply the lightest of applications in the right places internally I,m sure some of the fettli

    We are all learning the new rules, Boris gave us all the pointed finger and said - stay in unless absolutely essential, lads I feel the same as you but a gun bag over my shoulder and Kaiser by my side does`nt look like exercise and a pi$$ed off plod will pull me as well as you. My thoughts are just get the initial 3 weeks isolation out of the way and then see were we stand ? Target practice is one of the first things you two need anyway BC and Rez. x

    Tensions may run high ( or may not ) with regards to some one out with a gun. For now, I,ll walk the dog and watch the wildlife away from my permissions, letting your shoot rest a spell will do it good at times.

    I`d lean towards a Hawke scope Claude. The Hawke Sport 4-12x50 AO, IR you'll pick up for around £50 second hand and the Hawke Panorama 4-12 x 40 as said is a perfect airgun scope. The Sport scope is not made any more but they are easy to find, - I`ve taken a hillside of vermin with this scope as well as the Panorama. Hawke sport is nearest, Panorama furthest, both are bullet proof. Good luck.

    Well after the latest Boris speech we are gardening etc, etc for I don't know how many weeks ? We have to stay 6ft away from others,- lucky I`m 1/4 black as me and my wife can still have fun at that range. Jimmy ( Big Mac`s) fun time has no chance with his 1 inch
