Air Rifle/Pistol Interest

[DSM10000]

Sounds like a good setup!

I modified it so it could be bolted down to the table and use a small ratchet strap on the rifle for extra stability when zeroing.

The rifle will put pellet upon pellet pretty much through the same hole when held by the rest

Pity the operator isn't as good

Well I’d forgotten about this thread till today.
My sister relocated to Portugal and so the old BSA Meteor .177 is now languishing unused in my home.
(it still works)

I should get around to selling it, I have no interest in using it.

The issue is if you have under-18s around ... you then need to "take reasonable precautions" to prevent unauthorised access:

Very nice, any video captures from the pard (target shooting of course not rat/rabbit headshots)

After a zeroing session today l I finally remembered to capture some sample video from the scope. The reticle is more visible in the scope itself ... you can change the style and colour to suit the conditions (yellow works better in the dark). There's more audio than I was expecting - the microphone is underneath a screw-in waterproof cover for the micro SD card and USB port, which I'd left on. Scope was on 13x magnification and the light was quite low, so image quality is ok but not the greatest. The original video is 60 fps but I somehow managed to knock it down to 30 fps when trimming the beginning & end off in Premiere Elements (I've not used it much).

The centre spinner is 20 mm diameter, outers are 15 mm. Range 35 metres (measured) / 38 yds, sub 12 ft.lb Weihrauch HW110 in .177, bit of wind blowing. 10 shots in reasonably quick succession and 8 hits (1 miss on each outer) ... I'll take that

You did well, no problem with the pcp , but much harder with these unless a rest is used

 

[optimusprime]

But it gets ueasy with this BSA R10

 

[ChrisEdu]

I really must sort the seals on my HW110, it's not hold pressure. I did the seals on my Air Arms rifle and it made a huge difference.

As I'm sure you know it's easy to get tiny bits of dust & debris coming in through the fill port, which definitely doesn't help the seals. I bought a cap for the fill probe, which helps keep that really clean. I also put the plug from the rifle in this when filling:

Weihrauch Fill Probe Cover Cap – Best Fittings

The other thing is tiny shavings of rubber coming off the O rings on the probe and the plug when they're inserted/removed ... a tiny wipe of silicone grease on those helps prevent that.

I was a member of a couple of shooting clubs, Last one ICENI marksman in Colchester field target with a Air Arms TX200 SR seriously accurate gun for a springer.
This was a long time ago.

Don't think the steel balls are legal in the UK though. As you say they are classed as 'paint marker' guns and AFAIK limited to 'frangible' (paint or chalk) or rubberised rounds.
