Spring Rifle... .22 Vs .177
mark williams replied to jonnie bravo's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Jonnie the original question- which calibre springer do you prefer? Please type into the small search engine (top right of this page) ------ Tx 200 Hc .177 At Work - this is a typical shooting photo with the .177 cal. (type letter for letter,capital for capital) (although you have seen this) atb -
Welcome to the forum Shootinj The old saying "buy cheap, buy twice"- keep that in mind when looking for a set up for £150. The lads are doing their best to point out the best options with " your budget at the moment", carry on as you are and save up to around £300 or more, that will open a lot more doors for you and put some real quality rifles within your reach. atb ( all the best)

Spring Rifle... .22 Vs .177
mark williams replied to jonnie bravo's topic in General Airgun Discussion
(In a DEEP voice) --- Ah, so that`s why Mac likes .22 is it ? Always wondered why such a big bloke, like Mac, has such a high pitched, squeaky voice and wears nail varnish. -
Spring Rifle... .22 Vs .177
mark williams replied to jonnie bravo's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Mmmmm and the song goes on. Rez makes a good point,- FT and HFT boys use .177 "like it`s going out of fashion".So "why is that"? It is obvious in my mind that hft and ft lads are looking for the "best accuracy" and consider .177 to be the better calibre to achieve that with, especially in "Hunting Scenarios". So i wont argue with the preferred calibre of thousands of HFT, or FT shooters, - ACCURACY is what they are after, (not power). Simon also makes good sense with the accuracy of his springers and the kinetic energy that a .22 delivers on impact compared to -
Spring Rifle... .22 Vs .177
mark williams replied to jonnie bravo's topic in General Airgun Discussion
A seasoned shooter of spring rifles would say,- smoothness .22. "---" -----------------"-------------------"------------" ,.177 is utterly lethal when you know how to shoot springers. A seasoned shooter of PCP`s would say, - .177 , deadly accurate. " -------------" ----------------" ---------------", - .177 , deadly accurate full bloody stop ! At sub 12 ft/lbs .177 is "by far" the dominant calibre,- "you could check air gun/calibre sales if you like" atb -
Lads. (.177 cal`) i will tweak the zero out to 36 yds dead tomorrow, this will give me a pbr of 8.9 yds to 41.1 yds. Basically from 9 yds to 41 yds your pellet "STAYS" within a 1 inch flight path as long as you do your bit with any wind/ breeze. After 41 yds with .177 cal is the only time to "Know your mill dots". I calibrate every 5 yds after 41 yds onto my card for memory but i much prefer to shoot around the 30/ 35 yd mark as much as possible. atb

Started a basic zero this afternoon off the Primos shooting sticks to 32 yds and i`ll try to tighten the groupings tomorrow if i can. The outer circles are a 5p coin outline. I will follow up with the HW 100`S ready for the winter months and those spindle branches atb P.S click on the photo lads and it should enlarge (hopefully).

New Scope For My Hw 100
mark williams replied to mark williams's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Yes the reticule on MTC seems to suit my shooting well.( older eyes) Saying that though, if the Hawke scope gets employed we all get the "chair gun pro" for free, which is a marvelous tool to have. I will probably stick with MTC and the old fashioned way of "Near and Far calibration" which puts me in the field to calibrate rather than a computer card.No disrespect intended. I notice that Si Pitterway uses a Hawke Panorama 4-12 x 40 ao, ir half mill dot and chair gun - does make you think when you have watched him . -

AA T Rex mk 3 hc.177. I use her a lot for hunting. Very low recoil, top, top accuracy and full power. Hope it helps. -
I have both the thumb hole and sporter in the HW 100`S and still cannot decide which i prefer after more than 2 years.
