How well do you know your favorite springer?

That is a hard one to answer..........but I will say my old model RWS model 36. I have many,many kills with that rifle. It has never let me down. Best of luck.

When I am in the mood to take the lit end of a cigarette off at 35 yards, I grab my Tuna tuned Whisper Deluxe, .177.  I know, I know, I hear all the moaning out there from all you German Hussy lovers!! But this thing shocks me every time I shoot it. Got a real nice Center Point on it too, but I gotta give the credit to the Fish.

I am not sure I could pace off 63 yards and KNOW I am going to hole the soda can. This is because of the dave component.

The dave component is at its best later, in the less caffeinated portion of the day, and possibly after 1 or 2 mildly flammable lubricants (in the dave, NOT the weapon). I have distinctly noticed poorer performance in the mornings.

When I try it, and soon I will, I will reach for the MP513 first.

This odd thing is closest to duplicating the "extension of my will" status of my trusty Browning BPS shotgun, that I never shoot any more, or my Ruger GP100, that I never shoot any more. I can't explain it but it just keeps impressing me, especially at my longer ranges (only 20m at home and it is just getting going at that range). It has a 4-16 BSA. I will bet you that I will cream Mr. Can but I will have to drive back up to the happy hunting grounds to try it at this distance. I wish it were a more exotic thoroughbred from some really cool AG country we have had a declared war with, but it is what it is, and just kills the hell outta stuff.

I think using a .177 might be cheating if there is no wind, but if I was going that route, I would reach for the SS1000H. It is really good and flatter shooting.

I have just not mastered the B26 at the outer ranges yet. It is still stock inside and about ready to go back on the hoist. I have a New Toy on the way that I have high hopes for, but we shall see....
