Hi mate. I'm just running-in a brand new HW77 full length rifle in .22 and the pellet of choice seems to be H&N Field and Target Trophy. It also likes Superdomes so, either of these will not disappoint I think. As for the general condition of your HW77 rifle; why not treat it to an expert tune-up? Venom and Bonnie & Clyde seem to be popular choices? Major Konig

Hi James. Simmons Whitetail classic 4.5-14x40 AO Supernightview with Graphite coating. That's the best scope I know for Weihrauch spring rifles. You can vary the mag and a bit more is always useful. Scour the second hand shelves for them as they are no longer made. I bought one when I got my HW80 .22 new over ten years ago and both rifle and scope are still going strong, superbly and every bit as clear and accurately as the day they were bought. These Whitetail scopes cost about £230 new and I managed to find a mint secondhander for £100 for my new HW77 just before Christmas. Bushnell are very good value too. Have a look at their Banner and Trophy ranges. Hawke scopes are great value too BUT, very long in their eye relief for HW spring air rifles. I tried several on my HW80s and HW77 and they needed all the forward reach the mounts have, on the last arrestor hole foreward of the trigger and they were still not enough. Not a good situation for comfortable fit to your shoulder. If an underlever spring rifle is what you want, go for the very best there is. WEIHRAUCH HW77. It beats the lot. And I also own an HW97K an Air Arms TX200HC .177 and Air Arms TX200 .22 std rifle; and the HW77 is still the cream of the crop. My biggest regret is that I didn't buy one of these rifles years ago. With regard to a scope holding zero You will find that, regardless of how much you re-adjust the Objective focus or Mag ring, these will NOT affect zero. Particularly if you have a scope with 1st Focal Plane lenses and focusing. It's air temperature and it's effects of expansion and contraction on metals. Bring a perfectly zeroed scope in fron a cold day, out shooting, into a warm house and the shift in temperature will cause the metals in the scope to expand a little and zero to shift out by a couple of clicks or so. Hope this adds to the helpful advices.
