I use to use H&n Ftt's at medium power and barracuda's at full power with my techstar.
medium power (28 fpe)for feather, full power (38 fpe) for fur very nice results.
Its 320mm "hole to hole"
And yes, it needs some muscle power to cock But I ordered a barrel weight, to have a better grip. Becouse I had to wait for the .20 version, I buyed me this, gunshop cut of the barrel. Its more "experimental", use it in the time that i have to wait for the .20 K barrel. (4to 6 months )
Today am gonna zero my new scope, and try out the gun over the longer distance,(35-60 yards) curious about that.
If you have enough (spot free) livers, kidneys, hearts etc, you can make kinda pie of it, togheter with other meat, onions, garlic, rice, herbs etc. Shredder, oven scale, and 45 minutes is al you need (for 1kilo) I did it a couple times, tastes good
This is a specific gasram with Zephir cup, made for the HW80. I think its integrated in a piston.
Is there anyone who knows more of this thing? sorry for the litlle pic.
I always adviced: get yourself a hw95 , but since a couple days I own a BSA Techstar FAC! 36ft/lbs!!! Jonezie, try to find a second hand techstar mate, they are fabulous!
the happy man
i think your on about a different motor mate ?, the "subaru forrester" only came out in 1997 on the R reg.
You are right mate, it was the All Wheel Drive that misleaded me. thought it was a forrester
Buy a weihrauch 95 .20 with a fac spring mate, i hear nothing but good from this gun, and gonna buy me one as a second gun (with the Gamo) for the bunny's
A litlle advice before you buy that rimmie . My (very accurate) 97k .177 Fac go's 870ft/sec, with H&N Barracuda's 10.3 grain he gives me 17.3ft/lbs. It means: penetrate rabbit skull's up to 50 yards.
Suitable INSIDE barns and stables Worth a Fac mate.
You dont need a bigger spring mate, give it a lube tune and a hornet seal! your gun groups and performs much better then. and use a lighter pellet to stay out of the jail
Imagine you can use a HW 90 with 700ft/sec (I dont think its possible IMO) with a 30.7 grain barracuda, thats 33 ftlbs.
I personaly dont think you can get that with a ( tuned up) hw80. (Not without a pellet traject that looks like a rainbow, and crosshairs that vibrate as an earthquake in Tokio )
