One of "Your" air rifles..

You best make some smaller spinners Mort to stop the boredom creeping in .Glad you're still enjoying the simple joys of the HW30.
I'm curious regarding an HW80 kicking out 30ft lb's though.Im guessing it'll be very snappy and unpleasant to shoot as that's really a bit much for it.I still remember fondly the quest for extreme power when I was younger .From cramming an ox Spring into a Webley mk3 to squirting 3 in 1 oil down the transfer port of a very reluctant Haenal 303 .
I spent years questing for power when I was younger until I owned a Career 707 which after opening up the transfer port to 3mm and increasing the hammer Spring tension yielded some very scary results.I quickly reverted it back to how it was and sold it.It was sending Eley magnums through four inches of hardwood and taking pieces out of the brick backstop .
I'm much happier with a .177 running just over 10ft lb's these days. Though back in the 80's when chrono's were rare I always used the yellow pages . I bulged the cylinder on a very nice Webley mk3 though while shooting Prometheus z2's through it with an ox Spring crammed into it.I deserve a good kicking for that as it was a lovely rifle and they really don't build them like that anymore.
