Beginning to push the Mighty HW 80 MK1

[mark williams 7,549]

Finally, just finally got a lull in the winds so out came the newly acquired HW eighty MK1 .22 CAL.

               A 38 yd range was set up and I tweaked her zero a tad from right to left, - two singular clicks got her singing, she was hitting everything after the first three shots.

              Top spinner is 25 mm, 2nd is 12mm, 3rd is 7mm, the Falcon Acc` Plus were hammering those spinners big time.

              All the red bulls are under 12mm, centre red bull looks to be 12mm.

 

 

 

                      Turning into a lovely rifle lads, made up with her.

It’s a nice piece Mark. You could tune it to over 20ft lbs and then you’d have a proper gun instead of making do with those pea shooters that you normally use

Yeah, I know buddy and what a spring rifle that would be.

                     Simon, ( Pianoman) has an F.A.C.  classic HW eighty in .22 and swears by it, he's already mentioned this to me.

Only joking about the sub 12’s Mark, but I know the 80’s were designed to run a fair bit higher and should tune nicely at those higher power levels, should you so desire
