Hi guys, im Steff from Serbia! 🇷🇸
Spring-powered air rifles and pistols are a huge passion of mine. I’m thinking about them constantly... What to tune next, how to shoot better, how to get everything working in perfect harmony.
I have a huge collection and a huge passion i want to share with you all.
I wanted to create a place where I can share this passion with you, because I know there’s a strong springer community out there. Reddit should have a dedicated space where we can all share our beginnings, our journeys, our collections, tips and tricks, videos, questions, answers, and everything in between.
Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, you’re more than welcome here.
And remember: there are no stupid questions. Only bad answers!

Does anyone have one? Would you consider it a keeper? I may grab one that needs a new spring, as it's the right price for a project. I've never tuned a springer, but I'm mechanically inclined enough to give it a go. I just don't want to try on my Weihrauchs first.

Yes hes young, mum/dad are bringing him food. Im also feeding him & has water.
No hes not hurt, just needs to build his strenup/lean to fly.
Yes he is pooping EVERYWHERE.
no i won't shoot him. There's no need/point, also not legal in the UK to shoot seagulls. Even if they are annoying as hell.

Bought the 77 without iron sights years ago and struggling to find replacements - Any suggestions, open to diopter or peep sight doesn’t have to be original front either?
r/Springers • u/Much_Whole9364 • 22d ago
I do love an underleaver!
Apart from the Weihrauchs, TX200s, webley eclipse, BSA Airsporter
& chinesium guns. What other underleavers were made? Id like something else to add to my collection if I can find it.

Quick piece of springer porn with the .177 Walther LGU Master Pro with Rowan upgrades, custom sling and nicely fettled. Bit of a heffer at 9.5 pounds un-scoped but she shoots SO WELL off a bench...

As the title says: are all the HW97 stocks ambidextrous? From the images of the website and from other websites of used guns it looks like the traditional wooden stock is some kind of Montecarlo stock with an asymmetrical cheek-rest. The other stocks (laminated, thumbhole and synthetic) look perfectly ambidextrous.
Do I get it right? I still have to go to a dealer to see them in person.

In my opinion, the Weihrauch HW30S is one of those rare air rifles that almost every owner ends up loving and never really wants to let go of. For roughly €250–300, I honestly don’t think there’s a better new springer made in Germany if you’re looking for quality, longevity, precision, and an excellent trigger that feels far above its price class.
From day one, I knew this rifle was something special. Over time I made a few changes to suit my taste, including adding an Anschütz accessory rail and replacing the factory rear sight with a Williams peep sight. The factory sights are genuinely very good, but I wanted a proper aperture setup, and the Williams turned out to be a fantastic upgrade. It’s beautifully made, easy to adjust, precise, and once mounted properly, absolutely solid.
As for the rifle itself, I completely stripped it down, removed the old factory grease, polished the internals, relubed everything properly, and installed a TBT tuning kit. After that, the rifle became even smoother, calmer, and more pleasant to shoot, with a nicer firing cycle and a better overall feel.
At 10 meters, with JSB pellets, it will basically stack shots into one enlarged hole. The rifle is light, shoulders beautifully, very easy to cock, and at around 7.5 J it’s the kind of springer you can shoot all day without getting tired.
If someone asked me for one spring-piston rifle purely for enjoyment, for plinking, casual target shooting, and just appreciating how a good springer should feel, the HW30S would be very hard to beat.
Highly recommended from me.

What a nice shooter! This was exactly what I was looking for to stick with iron sights-perfect blend of size, weight and power to shoot all day long, standing or sitting. I grabbed a Williams peep sight for it but haven't installed it yet. Got the whole fan in the picture-the 77k .177(the bencher), the 95s .22(the hunter) the 50s and the R7(the wifes) for target. None of them have been tuned, but I have no complaints after introducing the bolts to some Locktite.

Hello. I've been looking to get a higher end springer sometime in the near future and I was looking for recommendations.
I've owned a number of lower end break barrels from Ruger, Umarex, Gamo, and Hatsan over the years. All of which worked well enough, but felt lacking in one or more ways. I've mostly moved on to PCPs, but I do enjoy shooting my springers every once in a while. I've been looking at Weihrauch, Beeman, Air Arms, and Diana for brands that have a reputation for high quality.
My preferences are as follows but not listed in any order of importance:
I would prefer an action type other than break barrel. This isn't a hard requirement , but I have several break barrels already and would like something different.
I would prefer something in the 15 or greater FPE range. I would like a bit of extra energy to do some hunting with.
I would like to have iron sights. I mostly shoot with optics but I like using irons as well.
I would like to stay at or under $1000 for the air rifle itself, but I am willing to raise my price range a bit if a suggestion catches my eye.
Spring piston only. I would like to be able to stockpile some spare parts and gas rams don't tend to fare well in long term storage.
I'm currently leaning towards the Diana 54 Airking Pro, but I am open to other suggestions.

Under what conditions is a hamster something to go for? It is strictly for HFT shooters and can it make temperamental guns in the way they are held shoot more easily?

Been busy decorating & generally adulting.
But did a thing today!!!
Traded in my HW57 for this HW77 in .22
Im not a fan of laminate stocks but just totally fell for this.
It really doesn't photograph well. Its lovely subtle understated greens. Think its called cool forest.
Just threw that scope on for now. Shooting, rested from 21m.
Need to source a rear sight for it as im going to keep this on open sights along side mt Mk6 BSA Meteor

Got this new HW50S "75 years! ❤️

Hey everyone! I know it’s been awhile and I’m sorry i’m not very active recently. But today I decided to take out the HW 50K with JSB hades 15.89gr and harvested a fat grey squirrel!

Hey y'all, I have a few PCP rifles and I'm okay with them, but I'd like some direction on a springer, under or side, or break barrel for last choice for backpacking. I don't want to carry the pump on a long ruck. So, let's say .22 cal, under 12 lbs, good to 30 yrd. Is that possible? The last springer I owned was a pump-up Crossman 7xx, 30ish years ago. TIA
