The Norfolk bash

Excellent.

What diopter set up did you go for on the 77?

80? Standard HW guide? (I know you quite like them, like me). Which spring Mark?

With the '77, I was able to purchase a Gamo diopter and I just fitted a standard HW frontsight onto the underlever catch and used a tunnel fitting. The '77 was V Mach tuned, so no need to play with that. The HW80, I used a 3mm section spring that came from Knibbs, with a 16mm id. I was able to set it up with a little more pre-load. I used an Eagle Vision guide set. It's the third set of their's I've used and I've been very impressed with the offering so far.

Excellent stuff, Mark.

Nice one and very nice one, in that order Mike. I've sold a few and have tried to concentrate on improving what I have. My .25 cal hw80 has been tweeked and the .20 cal hw80 has had new spring and guides. Oh and the mk2 hw77 has been switched to a diopter.

Sounds like you've been having fun too Mark. I love the idea of the diopter sight on the HW77

I could sell you a diopter Mike, but you, d have to buy the whole S200 it's sat on

Apart from the PCP bit.

Our Craigy-P has a beautifully sorted 77 on diopter sights that he's posted pictures of in the past. Wonder if he spots this.

Ted was the king of the diopter on his old 80. Which he has since sold

[Alanok2002]

You need a tx200 with diopters on running at just under 6ftlb great guns

[TonyL]

Yes, I'd guess that that would be a very pleasant experience indeed, Al.

I've often mulled over the idea of a '77, maybe short stroked a little, detuned to 6ft.lbs, nice match style stock.......

Or another route might just be a mildly fettled down '30S, again in a match style, heavier stock?

Just realised there was something missing from this page.

BOING!

how about sleeved down to 22mm shorten the stroke, probably run at 6 fpe with a biro spring

why make a FWB300S when you can just buy one
