Hello gentlemen!!! With the unusual cold temperatures we were having this winter I was suffering from “shooting withdrawal” and decided to purchase a pellet pistol so I could shoot indoors. Soon after I purchased a pellet rifle and now I am reliving the good times I had as a youth. My father bought me an Ithaca rim fire .22 youth rifle (which I still have) when I was 5 and a Browning rim fire .22 pistol the next year. Several years later when my older cousin went off to college I inherited his pellet rifle. Thanks to my father starting me at an early age I have been shooting for 52 years and found bullseye shooting to be my favorite. Both my wife and I shot on an indoor bullseye league in the 80s and had a great time. Since then we moved to the country and now have our own 150’ range in the back yard. I have tried to do my homework by reading forum posts and searching the internet, but still have some ammo related questions. I will post them in the appropriate sub forums soon. Well, here are the two pellet guns I have been breaking in recently. The first is a Weihrauch HW77 with a Hawke 4.5-14x42 scope and the pistol is the well known Baikal IZH 46M.

Nice hardware there. After 52 years you probably have as many answers as questions, and I'm sure you'll fit right in here. Again, welcome. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:42 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Good looking airgun porn there! I would like to have the baikal 46m myself, but I haven't saved up enough money yet. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry?? LARRY!!!!"

Thanks to all you gents for the welcome and kind words. My brother-in-law was here tonight and with the rain we decided to have a 5 meter shooting session in the garage with the 46M. We are both 1911 nuts, but we really enjoyed having the option to shoot indoors this evening. My brother-in-law was impressed with the 46M’s trigger and accuracy. I need to get him out here on a nice day and give him some trigger time with the HW77 at 30 meters. So far this year I have shot more rounds through my pellet guns than I did with my 1911 all last year. I think I am into pellet guns for the long haul…   Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 3:09 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands He's got it bad guys, I've seen a lot of these cases in my time, and I can tell that this one's got it bad. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 12:24 pm SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario A most excellent diagnosis Dr Broom   Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 2:11 pm WhitleyStu Veteran Member Joined: 15 Feb 2011 Posts: 202 Location: NE Indiana U.S.A. broommaster2000 wrote: He's got it bad guys, I've seen a lot of these cases in my time, and I can tell that this one's got it bad. Tell me Dr. Broom, I keep finding myself pricing out 88 cu. ft. air tanks and searching Pyramyd Air's PCP listings . Is there any hope for this lost soul???   Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 7:54 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho Nope, no hope. None. Get a .25 Marauder for that tank. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 11:21 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA Definitely has A.G.A.S. There is no known cure for this syndrome... you can only treat the symptoms... Acquire more air guns and shoot often. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

As the boys have said there is no cure.Once we get that "itch" it can only be relieved by adding new toys to the collection.Personally I've got the pre-buy jitters where you know your about to blow some serious loot on your next rig,but haven't made a decision yet.It's now been narrowed down to five choices..... Nice rigs by the way!....You have superb taste. _________________   Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 3:04 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands SMP wrote: A most excellent diagnosis Dr Broom Now now, it's just my experience in the field and I have had a lot of fellow colleagues who would have come to the same conclusion!
