    No problem Stelfer! Maybe one day we could meet for a shoot, you're not to far from me as I'm near Reading. ATB Daryl

    Thanks for your response mate. What rifle do you have?

    Hi Simon, Thanks for your response, you've given me even more confidence in my purchase. Really looking forward to my panorama arriving, then the question is... What springer do I put it on? The choices are 95k, 97k, 80k or TX200! I'll take a look at the other scopes you suggested. Daryl

    Hi Rez, I felt I got enough positive feedback to justify buying the panorama! But don't panic... I'm still in the market for a couple more scopes & "just for you" I'll mix it up and try some other brands. Seen a lovely MTC mamba lite with AO turret on the side, it's a few quid but hopefully worth every penny. Daryl

    So I bit the bullet today... (I'm full of these shooting related puns) & ordered a Hawke Panorama, I went for the 3-9 x 40 AO with half mil dot reticle. I'll let you know how I get on with it once she's arrived! Thanks for all the advice guys. Daryl

    I think its widely agreed that this is one of the hardest shooting positions to do well and with consistent accuracy. But I also feel its one of the most rewarding.. So just for the challenge I've been dedicating a lot of my practice time to this recently and have been really pleased with the results i've had so far. I feel a lot more confident in my technique and know that my shot placement from this position is greatly improving. I just wanted to get the general consensus to what you would consider to be very good accuracy from off the hand, it might give me something to aim for? (no pu

    Thanks Daz! Go for it, it comes with my seal of approval!

    Now you're really selling it to me mate, you're not on commission for every Panorama sold are ya..?

    I don't know want you mean Rez.... BAA BAA

    Hi Sanmarcopizza, It's nice to hear another positive comment about the panorama! =) I think you certainly make a valid point. The only reason I would choose the 40mm over the 50 is because I like the lower profile and find that my eye lines up better with the scope when its on lower mounts. Hopefully I wont regret my decison... Daryl

    Thanks Villaman & Pink or Stink, I'm definitely leaning towards the panorama now in the 4-12 x 40 1/2 mil dot AO, I think it will be adequate for my purpose which is HFT & hunting. It also seems a reasonable price.

    Once again some top suggestions there, you boys never let me down! I'll have a look into the MTC mamba lite, I want a step up in quality from my Nikkon Stirlngs but don't want to spend a fortune. I could do with 2 or 3 new scopes, so perhaps I'll try to get myself a deal if I buy them all at the same time. Thanks again Daryl

    Hi Steve, I'm glad you've found this post useful, there's so much great information on this site from a nice bunch of lads. I learn something new everyday. When it comes to shooting off the hand unsupported it really comes down to lots of practice & good technique. There's a very helpful post in this section that was pinned "shooting air rifles" it's well worth a read & has loads of hints & tips that could help you out. Hunting with a springer is certainly a challenge (but far from impossible) you don't have the luxury of a bipod to support your rifle like our PCP bud

    Love ya honesty Rez., don't mix ya words mate! ha ha. The mountmasters are all I know, once I have a decent scope to compare them to, I'll probably end up drop kicking them into a lake! Thanks mate, you've given me some good suggestions there. I'll do a bit of homework on them.

    I fancy popping some new glass on a couple of my rifle's. So far I have been using cheap & cheerful Nikkon Sterling Mount masters, which to be fair have done a good job. But now want to treat myself to something with a bit more quality. I've done a bit of research and the Hawke Panorama range seem to get good reviews across the board & that's what I'm looking to get. I have a couple of questions regarding this, which I hope you can help me out with: 1. What's the difference between the map 6 reticle and the half mil dot option and which one is considered to be more effecti

    All jokes aside, I dont find the 95 to light or the 97 to heavy.. There both great guns, I just wanted to give the 95 a bit more recognition as I feel it deserves it. I've been really concentrating on my off hand shooting lately, I want to be able to hit a 1 inch disc at 35 yards consistenly. I think it will make a nice party trick..

    Hello mate, that seems the case for a few people. Guess it all comes down to personal preference... and perhaps I need to spend a bit more time in the gym pumping up the old arms!
  18. Daz87
    Hello jjm, I have the best of both worlds as I also have a 97 which after a while can start to feel heavy when shooting off the hand standing, this is when I bring in the 95 for a rest period & to save my arms!
  19. Daz87
    Hello Skot, I know what you mean about the 95 being light mate, I guess thats something you either love or hate about it. You're spot on about weihrauch springers, there all such quality, reliable guns. At some point I would like to have a shoot with every model they make!
  20. Daz87
    Fair play Rez, looks like that distance is working for ya! We should have a friendly grouping competition, pick some different distances and put the results up on here? Your shooting with the 98 makes me nervous though...
  21. Daz87
    Ha ha, that's good to hear. I'm looking forward to it!
  22. Daz87
    That the official list...? Ha ha Party for one then yeah!
  23. Daz87
    Hi guys, Do we get confirmation that our names are now added to the list? Cheers Daryl
  24. Daz87
    Hello Rez, thank you for your comments mate. I'm glad you enjoy my posts! That's 2 lovely springers there, I've never had the pleasure of shooting a 98 yet but I've heard a lot good things about them & it's only a matter of time until I get my hands on one! Really nice group there mate at a good distance, I'd be really happy with that myself. What distance do you zero your rifles at? Daryl
  25. Daz87
    When it comes to people discussing the best springers you tend to hear the same names mentioned. It always the 97, 77 & TX200 that get all the recognition. I just wanted to take a little time out to mention one of the unsung hero's, a gun that deserves more praise but is always in the shadow of the ones mentioned above. This gun is the Hw95k, it remains my favourite despite also owning a 97, & TX. Perhaps it's the sentimental value as it was the first air rifle I owned, but performance wise it is hard to beat & really suits my style of shooting. It's light, powerful
