16th and 17th June 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event And Payment Details

[joffy]

The weekend of September 8th and 9th, Nick.

I'm hoping to make this one if the dvla/hospital allow me to start driving again

[Paul SE]

After a busy start to the week and a couple of evenings at the gun club, I've not yet had the oppotunity to have a quick BOING or two on this BOINGERTASTIC thread.

Many thanks to Mick and Shirl for once again putting up with the Boingerati at The Hollow, and Mick, I hope you're feeling better each day.

And so, we can now look forward to more fun and frivolities at the next Bash in September when I hope to catch up with you fine folk once again

I'll just add that the little HW30S that I collected at the Bash has now had well over 500 shots fired through it at the club, with myself and another member shooting at some spinners on Monday evening …… Damn good fun and a neat little rifle ideally suited for plinking, although very capable of shooting small single hole groups at 10M and beyond with RWS Meisterkugeln pellets …… the only thing I noticed is that the rear trigger guard screw seems to work loose, whereas the other two bolts holding the stock on have remained tight ……. which Loctite or thread lock type glue should I use??

It's a pleasing gun to have in ones collection, and highly recommended for short to medium range shooting

It was also nice to catch up with some of the chaps that I've previously met and also good to meet up with new names and faces that I've BOINGED with on here over the last year or so

Hopefully see you all again in September

BOING

Nice boinging presence there, Paul.

And yet another grown up falls for the subtle charms of this lovely little precision lightweight.

BOING

I believe Loctite 221 or 222 are the easily removable threadlocks

Hi Guys,

Some of you may remember my daughter Alisha, we came Saturday evening and Sunday, she had a pink set-up :-)

I’m looking to get her a small lightweight springer in full power, long barrel .177. HW30 springs to mind, but is there anything better? She is small and finds cocking difficult.

Thanks

[TonyL]

Of course we remember you and it was great to meet you.

I really can't think of anything to challenge the HW30S. Lightweight, compact, superb trigger, super-refined firing cycle, very accurate and forgiving.

However, do be aware that they're not "full power", producing about 7ft.lbs in .177 and 8 ish in .22. But you don't ever feel the need for more power when you're marvelling at its lovely manners and ease of achieving the accuracy.

If you did find that the cocking effort was a little too much, you could de-tune further still and then "up the spring" as time goes by, although, maybe with a little confidence and getting herself slowly used to the cocking technique this may not be required?

There may well be other lightweight, easy to cock junior rifles, but the 30S has the accurately machined and quality feel of the HW brand, that simply superb trigger and it's a rifle that many grown-ups absolutely adore.

'Tis the Summer Solstice, mid-summer's day, the longest day; YAY......BOING!


Might struggle to get on later as we usually drive out to the Peaks on this day and watch the Sun go down over some picturesque scenery.

BOING!

Another vote for the 99. An aftermarket muzzle weight will reduce cocking effort

Here's hoping you can, fine sir, been missing you.
