Condensation

[Rez 4,961]

 

I have always reached for my shot guns in the wet months for the game shooting opportunities, easy dismantle and clean of my shot guns plus my dog is working the fields hard in the freezing cold.

 

One thing has just struck me though,- will the dismantling of an air rifle effect it`s zero when reassembled ?

Depends on the scope Mark, if it gets a bump or knock in the process. Some will need a click or two to get the reticle back into zero.

I've got a couple of beautiful old scopes I still have in use; a Bushnell Scopechief on my Regal PCP and a NIkko Stirling Goldcrown on my HW77 .22 that have yet to be re-zeroed despite being taken out of the actions and refitted.

 

Every Hawke scope I've had, has needed a re-zero after use and dismantle/refitting of the actions they sat on.

I might of missed the boat here dear sir, and it's only my reading of your sig thats made me post...

 

You've got rid of the TX?

I have Rez. Sadly but, it was never getting used while I was getting the Regal into shape and, have my HW80, HW77' and HW97 springers to spoil myself with and it's a shame to let a fine gun just sit for month after month in a cabinet gathering dust. I sold it to Charlie Caller and he's been fettling it up. He'll have an amazingly accurate .177 carbine there.

 

Now I'm leaning towards buying another TX200. But in .22 this time.

 

AND....I'm currently kicking myself that I missed out on Jimmy's Prosport he's just sold.

 

By the way though Jamie, I hope the condensation hasn't caused you any rust problems?

No mate. Not a sign of rust anywhere. Although, I do mean from the episode the other day. My 97, has minute specks appearing on the piston thats exposed, but this has been like this for a while now as its quite old. Im keeping my eye very close on it. Its shooting the best it ever has so its not worrying me at all at the moment.
