Yesterday i spent solid 2 hours shooting can confirm springers are very fussy about everything after about 40 minutes added folded tea towel under my elbow as it was resting on kitchen work top and that changed how often i hit my smaller spinner i also noticed at very begining i must be little over excited and after 10-15 minutes it relaxes me and results improve . I love it for me it is relaxation during those two hours i didnt need to drink go toilet smoke or do anything else brain off mode 😅😅
Lighten the trigger & clean the barrel it should be putting pellet on pellet at that range.
Todays task! 👍🏻👍🏻
A relaxed hold and some other pellets and should be a different rifle.
Hi .another great review
The gun is new and is clearly still dieseling slightly hence the smell and the poor accuracy.this isn't anything you are doing wrong .
The scope is lovely but 50 is on the big side as the HW 99 doesn't have a high comb .so you raise your head off the stock to see through the scope .
Bisley pellets have never been good for me in anything possible they are ok in a PCP.
H&N esp the eco ones or rws hobby are normally a good place to start.
Finding the right pellet will transform how it shoots.
As for stress ,stress is not good for accuracy but shooting is good for 😬stress.
This is not a criticism as I like your Chanel,just an observation.
you are shooting it like it's a PCP .it needs to be shot slightly different to get the best out of it .
I think you are going to like this when it's settled down ,may take a tin of pellets to do so.
Absolutely not. I want constructive criticism. I’m not unhappy with the accuracy. I know it’ll get better. I do need to get to a range get some real life feedback. But it’s a great rifle. And the main thing is I really love shooting it! Better groups will come. And hey…. Im shooting it better than my Crosman silver fox out of the box haha
Definitely do some pellet testing. Should be pellet on pellet at that rage. You will know when you find the right one. Try RWS and H&N FTT,
Ordered some H&N ftt! Cheers!
I've heard that these rifles seem to like H&N FT Trophy pellets try them well worth a go as at that distance you should be get far better groups.
It preferred the Diablo jsb. I’ll grab some of the H&N next time I’m at the surplus store! Thanks for the recommendation!
No worries it's all trial and error all part of the hobby 👍
So much nicer with that front sight removed
Finaly 😎
My one seems to like RWS Superdome's and a very light hold but they are great rifles.
For a better balanced rifle, I would suggest fitting a 2-7x32 or 3- 9 x32. , heavier bigger scopes you will find they cause the rifle to bank left or right causing shot to be out of alignment. Nice video
Thank you!
With spring rifles,
It's not a good idea to have the barrel aiming up as you flick the barrel shut,
As you can risk an odd pellet either unseating itself, and trapping it in the breach,or in the worst case, the pellet could fall out,
And you end up dry firing empty,
Which is very bad,
I've seen it happen.
You should always keep the barrel at least level or aiming down, whilst loading a spring rifle.
Cheers Paul 👍
cheers paul! duly noted and will remember that
Mine loves RWS superdomes.
I can spend hours over multiple shooting sessions to zero a scope, usually turns into a right escapade. Depends on what I am using the rifle for and the accuracy I am after. The more accuracy wanted then the more work that needs to be done upfront, setting up the rifle and scope, moderator, trigger, pellet selection / preparation, and the like.
I would be cautions changing pellets after shooting just half a dozen, I appreciate you likely did that for the video, softer pellets can take more shots to bed themselves into the barrel and show their best consistency. Especially if you shoot them after a harder pellet.
If the rifle is dieseling, then may benefit from a clean and run it over a chrono to get it steady before attempting to accurately zero the scope to the rifle. Your scope looks a little high in comparison to your face on the comb, which may create parallax error with the scope. I sit my cheek bone onto the comb, to get better alignment consistency.
With a springer, you learn to work with the recoil, rather than trying to control it. It is just about trying various different techniques until you find your comfort zone and get the best consistency.
Can confirm that my 99s doesn't get on with the Hades but does like JSB Diablo, QYS, H&N FTT, H&N8.
It also likes a more relaxed hold especailly on the foregrip. I spend quite some time zeroing, part of the fun for me and I find shooting so relaxing.
H&N on the way! Thanks for the tip!!
Trigger could do with a fettle, the sears in the mechanism are under stress from the main spring, so lightening would be benificial, that said you can only go so far before the safety fails to engauge (and /or) it becomes too light as to be dangerous .. A strip down AND a sear polish would also reap rewards.. Also, check stock bolts and scope mount screws to make sure they ain't come loose with vibration
Going to have to research all of this when back from my break. Would love to get in to the servicing so will take a look!
Mm. That out to be putting pellet on pellet .
Lovely gun
Thanks Brian. I’m going g to work on this rifle I think. I really like it. Lots of tips on here from you guys. Just means more rifle time!! Hooray.
Well it's showing that it doesn't like the Haydes. Make a collection of pellets, you'll soon see which one's it likes . Great review.
Hi mate, have you heard of or know about parallax error? I think that's why your aim is off mate
Yeah. I think I’m going to swap out the scope get a better position and eye relief. This one cant go further without hitting the breech. Let’s wait for the the digital one haha
Aiwa 😘💕👍👍
