The compression tube end cap is dovetailed, so with a scope and maybe a bipod I could probably get it higher. It was manufactured with the lead inserts. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:46 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" I picked up all the newest Stoeger airguns (the 'X- ' springer models) a couple months ago, and found them to be excessively heavy with no attachments. Stoeger claims they are in the 9-x lb. range, but I think that's simply wrong. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I was telling someone that my 54, while no light weight, doesn't feel like a heavy gun since it seems, for me, to balance nicely in the hands. I have a .45 underhammer muzzle loader with a 1 1/8" round barrel that is more than a tad nose-heavy and literally a pain in the lower back, offhand.   Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 5:03 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands fritz wrote: Weight means balance. Once you get a good stance/hold going there's no stopping. Not definately though. Where the weight is located is a big deal. Some rifles require taller shooters. The best balanced rifle I ever shot was a HW100SK, with the luxurious (not thumbhole) stock. A buddy of mine owns it. It's not heavy at all, and it's 75 centimeters long, without silencer, I think. It's tiny, but as a renowned dutch tuner once said: "It's just good." That's a dutch way of saying that it does exactly what it should do, and it lives up to it's reputation. Anyway, Heavy is a bit to ones liking, I guess. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 7:11 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho i can only accuratly shoot my M1A with a bipod. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 9:11 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia You are correct there Broom, I meant that the weight should be balanced though. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Diana's are quite front heavy. I once gave one of my pals, who shoots an HW97k (not light either) from FT position my D-48. The gun almost dropped forward of the weight. Right now I'm having a tough time with my D, though. Can't get it to shoot right. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 3:44 am aircube Veteran Member Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 261 TONBON wrote: Did it have to be an airgun? mosinnagant. excactly i don't know but at least 12-14. when you throw it up at a deer. it's not wobbly like a little light 22.
