Re: The Hy-score
Hi,
The multi-shot Hyscore loading system is very interesting, but I have found it takes almost as long to load the magazine as it does to load individual pellets.
Love the feature which allows dry firing without causing damage though.

Re: The Hy-score
The barrel looks very short, ar first glance, but I am presuming it is much longer than it appears. Is this so?
Kind regards,

The Hyscore was a 'concentric' pistol so the barrel appears to be shorter than is actually the case.
The first Series 700 pistols had a 180 mm (7 ") barrel.
The second Series 800 pistols had 268 mm (10.2 ") barrel.
The much shorter, Sporter pistols still had a 199 mm (7.7 ") barrel as did the UK produced Phoenix model.
Although the 700 Series had a longer overall length than the 'Sporter', much of the barrel length was made up of a false shroud .
Happy New Year

Re: The Hy-score
I discovered a rather tired Sporter in a local gunshop, some months ago. I have been able to spruce it up quite nicely, but I would like to know if anyone can tell me whether the original type backsight (i.e. with a stepped slider to raise the sight), which is missing, could be replaced with the plastic one shown on some illustrations, or whether I should attempt to replace the original? The foresight does seem rather low if the plastic rearsight is installed.

Re: The Hy-score
The sights aim the gun high to make up for the action of the piston which moves the barrel downward as it moves in the gun. I actually think the gun barrel may be aimed high instead of the sights, but you get the idea. On the Targ-Aire you can easily see the barrel is aimed downward, the opposite cause the piston goes the opposite way of the Hy-Score.
