Its only on a 12ft lb air rifle and I noticed it once I had refitted it before firing any rounds

I have a Tasco 3-9 x50 scope on my weihrauch HW100 and I removed it to get the rifle serviced. Ive refitted it and I only undid the bolts on the rail nothing else when removing it but now it will focus but when I focus at 30yds I have to have it set at between 100 and 200yds on the dial. I never had this issue before and setting it at about 30 - 50yds was always perfect. From 0 to 100yds on the focus does not seem to do anything now, it has not been dropped or miss handled in any way its been in my gun safe the whole time. Has anyone had this issue and is there a fix. Thanks

Hi all Many thanks for your replies, i did forget to say the distance i was shooting at but it was 50-80yds so should be no probelm. Ive spoken with my local gunshop and he has advised to try a 20g bullet rather than a 17g so I may try this next time Thanks for now

Hi all Just purchased a weihrauch HW60J in 17HMR, went out yesterday to clear some canada geese on my permission. I shot 3 all shot bottom of the neck area front breast. 2 birds flew maybe 10yds and dropped but the 3rd flew 50yds before dropping. All birds recovered and dealt with. I was expecting the birds to just drop where they were on impact using a 17HMR. My ammo is 17 grain ballistic tip cci. My question is, is there a more suitable ammo in 17HMR for these geese or am I expection too much from the ammo I'm using. I'm new to this calibre but was expecting a large exit hole on the prey but couldn't see anything like that on any of the 3 I shot. Thanks all

Just bought it and very pleased with it

I'm looking at a weihrauch HW60J in 17 HMR at a gunshop. The barrel has a length of 21.5 inches from the chamber to the screw thread. This seems long to me compared to my 22LR. Is this normal for this rifle Thanks

I'm looking at getting a bipod for 17hmr rifle, they vary so much in price and my budget is fairly low at this time so wondering if anyone can recommend a cheapish bipod that will do the job for now Thanks

I have just been informed by a friend of mine that his friend and farmer was killed yesterday whilst in the field at night calving a cow. He was shot by his friend who mistook him for a fox he died at tge scene, this is awful and thoughts go out to all involved and his family
