27 Von 30" is truly the best air rifle I ever owned in any power source.Īnd it's a sidelever which I personally had to "like" and "get used to". This rifle, Hector's Diana 54 Air King Recoilless. 20 D54 AIR KING with beech stock and Titan Spring with piston made out of something other than what Diana usually installs. These are all material items but the one material item made by human hands that impresses me enough to vaunt it is Hector Jose Medina Gomez's Lothar Walther. It never disappoints and when I saw it at 105 yards with me shooting it offhand I knew it was as good as my M1-A Supermatch with Douglas Premium Air Gauged Heavy Barrel and Walnut stock with brown plastic cover guard like the original M14s we trained with in 1972. 20 is a mark in my life of rifle shooting (all kinds of rifles even black powder). All other rifles I have are factory and perfect the way I expected them.īut the Hector Special in D54.
That rifle isn't going to be buried with me but to be closer to your statement it is probably the only rifle in all of my life that meant the most to me. I figure the rifle I'd be loyalist to is Hector's because he and I made the rifle with his know how as well as his kindness to me as an airgunsmith. So what's your two Field Rifles that YOU would never question at any range anywhere anytime within 24 hours?īut I understand your loyalty to your rifle. 20s with enough accuracy to justify the shot. 20 specialized by Lothar Walther and put together by Hector represents my "Custom" air rifle specified to my needs to have a pellet hit over 100 yards in HEAVY. The HW98 to me is a kind of "heavy" pellet rifle but once you carry it around like you would a walking stick or backpack in the field it becomes concrete solid reliance for an exact shot first time to the target without "warm up." If you ask me which caliber in the HW98 I'd be happy with any caliber and happier if all calibers in HW98 could be kept! Well, one asks the question if they had only TWO rifles (air) to KEEP which would they be?įor me it is the D54. Now the field for me is the air rifle field. I never carried a weapon in the field but had learned to shoot the M-14 about the time the M-16 came along to replace it in ROTC. I want to be in the field with my soldiers. I'm 63 now and medically discharged from the US ARMY as MAJ (CH). An air rifle to take "into the field" while just taking time away from suburbia into nature.
