I borrowed the rear sight off of my Walther LG400 Anatomic to use on my HW99S as I don't have anything else "spare" that will fit this rifle at the moment, and although it is a very good diopter sight (a superb sight actually), the recoil shock of the springer keeps bouncing it backward along the mounting rails as it has no facility to mount an arrestor screw to stop it shifting.
As I don't want to risk damaging this sight I have put it back onto my match rifle and I used my Walther LGM-2 SSP rifle for the first round of this Spring/Summer MPL rifle competition.
This is a lovely "junior" sized classic SSP rifle that is great to shoot, and with a younger (and better) shooter holding it, I am sure that it would probably be capable of some amazingly good scores at 6 yards (and 10 meters).
However, I will be returning to shooting my HW99S as soon as I can find a suitable diopter (with arrestor screw). I do have a really nice "left handed" Anschutz diopter fitted to my HW30S that I could remove and fit, but it is a really tight fit on the rifle and makes me sweat every time a have to"drift" it off, and despite the small size of the HW30S giving me problems with fitting it to my old and knackered frame it shoots absolutely superbly and I am reluctant to disturb it!
So, I am on the hunt for a similar old Anschultz diopter (or similar) to fit onto my HW99S and meanwhile I will use the excuse to exercise a couple of my other MPL air rifles until I find something suitable to fit it.
