Rabbit Hunt with Winchester 1000X
« on: August 16, 2007, 04:34:16 PM »


Before I got my Viper, I had a Winchester 1000x (had to return, seemed to detonate with every shot). But I did have a few hunting sessions with it, but only one i took pics on. I don't have the time to post the story at the moment, might do it later, but here are the pics. And BTW, I had a bad sight in, so it went through left buttcheek and came out of left shoulder blade, breaking both limbs.

Yes, I know, a lot of pics, but better than no pics, right?

Nice lookin rabbit and great pics.  I have 2 Winchester 1000's and while they are "crude" firing guns they are 2 of my most powerful .177 guns,,,, and extremely accurate.  I don't shoot them all that much, but when I do they certainly get the job done.  

Enjoyed you post and pics very much, looking forward to the next ones.   :)

My Winchester 1000X (while i had it) was dieseling from the start, smoke came out of the barrel with all 750 shots that went through that thing. It was around the last 5 that it started detonating with every shot... Do any of your winchester 1000s do that?

Because it didn't seem to hit any vitals, it didn't die instantly. It suffered for about 2 minutes. I shot it then it jumped 3 feet in air, then somehow ran into woods as fast as it could, which is strange because i broke two legs... and anyway, it came out of woods, flipping around on its side (due to broken legs), until it "stopped". This is a prime example of overpenetration. But it seems somewhat impressive to me that it went through all the way lengthwise. BTW, I used Gamo magnum pellets. (probably not a good choice)

Hey Robert,

No, neither one of my Winchester 1000's have any problems with dieseling.  I have one in the wood stock and one with the synthetic.  Both of em are real powerhouses and are 2 of my most powerful .177's.  I have the synthetic one set up with a laser/light combo for night hunting.  Harsh firing guns but I do love em  :)

When I first got mine, I couldn't even open the barrel because it seemed that the oil has formed a glue-like bond, until after using the floor, it finally opened. It had a LOT of oil in the breech, and theres no doubt that it got into the spring chamber. And BTW, I also saw smoke when I opened the barrel, from the breech. It had a heavy sharp smell, I dunno if thats oil or whatever. So I dunno  why it had so much oil, but after detonating 5 times in a row... I said, that's it. I called Daisy, and they said that it's probably the oil but I should return it just to be safe. So I said, hold on a minute, don't i have a warranty here? she said yes, but we are in the process of relocating our business, so that it might get lost in all the rummaging, and I might never see it again. Some warranty. But then again, I ended up with my Viper, which hasn't ever had smoke come out of muzzle when fired
