johnbaz Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gutted - can't see the pic! is there a link matey? ATB Duncan Hi Duncan Do you mean in my post or one of the others?? If you mean mine, click on my flickr link at the bottom and it's the last pic on page one. There's also a link to a vid where a lass is exploding little bits of chalk at 80 yards :o John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duncan Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sorry John, yes, your second pic - 1st came out fine but 2nd was blank. I don't know why (ask a techie!) Cheers Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Airsporter was the first gun I ever owned I bought it myself second hand for £50 off a guy I worked with and never looked back. I remember many evenings sat in the garden plinking targets from pennies off canes to strings holding water bombs. Hours and hours of fun. I still have an Airsporter now it's the RB2 model (rotary breech) instead of the tap loader but it's no where near 11.5flb any longer I would hazard a guess it's more 5.6flb but the cocking is as smooth as ever. It's sat in my cabinet for years never gets used any longer. Will have to dig it out and have a go for old times sake lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Duncan Hi Duncan The second one was a link to a youtube video, it's a lady who really knows her stuff, she's shooting small pieces of chalk and shooting the bottoms out of wine bottles through the top of the bottle at 40 and 80 yards :o If you go to youtube and do a search for- 80 and 40 yard shooting with Weihrauch HW100 .177 12ftlbs. You should find the video.. She also makes her scope into a night vision scope that she can record her rat kills with and actually shows you what to buy and how to do it I'll try inserting the video again.. You may have to copy and paste as i didn't use the 'insert media' button this time.. Hmmm- having just pasted the link, it's showing up as a clickable video in my preview!!!, can anyone else see it or just me? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lordy It sounds like the seals need replacing on your RB2, i bought an RB2 carbine recently and though i haven't chrono'd it yet (can't find me combro again ), the power is well up there John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duncan Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks John - not a bad vid selection there and I especially liked seeing the eggs explode! I played around with my own HW100S (more so when I first got it) and was astounded as to how well it grouped. On a windless day, with Harris bi-pod and me being on form, AA fields were landing in 2p coin sized groups at exactly 100 yards. Phenomenal! It's not something I'd say had any use in the field, but it did give me some idea of the rifle's capabilities. The target cards were on a scaffold plank, and the holes were 1/4 inch deep plus - even at that extreme range! Makes you re-realise that airguns are not toys!
