Flow 18 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi, I'm new here, been lurking for a while and after some advice. I want to get my recently acquired HW97K tuned. I phoned SFS as I've heard good things about them, but the waiting list is 2-3 weeks and I don't think I can be without my rifle for that long. So my question is, is an SFS tune noticeably better than a V-Mach DIY kit. Thanks. Quote Link to post

Flow 18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 It was actually his video of SFS that got me thinking about getting it tuned , if only the waiting times were less. Quote Link to post

Flow 18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi Davy, thanks for the reply. The V Mach tuning kit is £73.95 and from what I've read its supposed to be pretty good. The SFS Stage 1 tune is the same price and also supposed to be excellent, just the waiting time putting me off. Anyone used both? Quote Link to post

I have a v-mach kit in my AATX200HC,and after speaking to Si about SFS i would have my AA tuned by them this Year,before the start of the SHS in November regards Davy Quote Link to post
Flow 18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks Davy, looks like I will be without a rifle for a good few weeks Quote Link to post
xraiderx 94 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hello flow I asked the same question as you and and took SI's advice as useual. And its spot on. tony dosent just fettle the inturnals he polishes and gets the trigger sweet So for £75 with a garrenteed top job ( tony SFS ) ATB GARRICK Quote Link to post
Flow 18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks mate, I was wondering about getting the trigger adjusted too so that seals the deal. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Hi Flow, Unfortunately for you, after speaking to Tony myself only 2 days ago he informs me that since me and Davy posted put up the SFS review on our channel he as received so much work its just unbelievable. The waiting list as now got even longer that normal. If I were you though I would defo wait the 3 weeks and get it done by a professional and a professional Tony is. Nothing is left or missed in this tune and when it comes back I know you will be well happy with it. Over the past 4 or 5 years I have pointed many many people Tony's way for tunes and to date not 1 as ever come back to me without saying WOW what a difference Tony as made to their rifle. I'm about to put up a new accuracy review of my tuned HW97KT within the next 3 to 4 hours on our channel, have a look at that and then see if you think the 3 weeks is a long time to wait. In this new clip I shoot a 6 shot group (1 bad wobble from me) with 4 to 5 pellets ending up stacked on top of each other at a lased 25 metres outside making a large lump of lead. All this is done with the camera running live so no editing or trickery is done on my behalf. I then go on to shoot a lased 65 metre woody with a perfectly placed heart shot. Kind regards Si.

Flow 18 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks for the reply Si. I thought it might be something to do with your video, thats what got me thinking about sending mine there. I look forward to watching the SFS HW97KT in action. Quote Link to post
Flow 18 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Excellent vid Si and brilliant shooting. I will definitely be getting Tony to work on my rifle after seeing that. Were you shooting unsupported in the clip? Quote Link to post
