Re: HW 30S Airgun
Just about to get squirrel head accurate. Gun is doing its part if I just do mine. 7 shots.

Re: HW 30S Airgun
You are getting better and better. Springers are an art to master, but once you have it, practice will keep you dialed in.

Re: HW 30S Airgun
I don't know. At 10 yards, I can do alright with the open sights. Further and it gets tougher to see. I may have to break down and start thinking about a scope.

Re: HW 30S Airgun
Another option is a peep sight, but, yeah, the HW30 has the inherent accuracy to make a scope very useful. Trust me on this.
Doesn't have to be too fancy, either. The Hawke 2-7 Advantage with AO runs just a bit over $100 and will do, nicely. Just make sure you get a model with an AO, because at 10 yards, you will need the help of an AO to dial out parallax. The HWs use an 11mm raiL, so you can use 11mm rings or even 3/8th rimfire rings.

Re: HW 30S Airgun
I like peep sights. Haven’t looked at them for it. Hope to shoot some today and going to try some shots at 20-25 yards. I already know that’s gonna be tough. Probably be looking at peep sights and scopes tonight. NCG, I will check out the Hawke you suggested. One piece or two piece mount?

Re: HW 30S Airgun
No need for a heavy one-piece mount. I actually use two-piece on all my air guns.
For a peep, use the https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/sights ... ure-sight/ with the HW globe front.

Re: HW 30S Airgun
That is a nice peep. I might get a couple and try it on a Henry. I’m heading out in the morning for Florida but when I get back I might order one.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 10:28 amNo need for a heavy one-piece mount. I actually use two-piece on all my air guns.
