Gas air rifkes were just starting to get popular when I got my firearm certificate and moved on to .22 semi auto and .17HMR. I really enjoyed my time with the air rifles I owned though and loved to stalk rabbits, crawling on my belly to get a clean shot, lol
You have a nice array of rifles, and some nice bits of kit, however to correct you on a couple of things if i may, the HW air rifle you were describing with the underlever is a HW 77 not a 35, and they are extremely accurate in the right hands, and the .22lr ammo that you said was advertised as 1200 ft per sec on the box would never be quiet as it will very easily rip straight through the sound barrier ( 1116 ft per sec at sea level ), I hope you did not mind, good to know you go out a couple of times a week, keep at it ;)
I had a HW77 and tuned it up. I used to shoot the flies that landed on my target from 25 yards away. It went off when I was loading it and I got my finger caught between the barrel and under lever. The blood sprayed the wall and I’ve still got the scar.
A useful look at the spectrum of rifles appropriate for pest control & small game, and the differences thereof. Thanks guys.
