    Good to hear you got sorted Jimmy and good of the boys to show their true colours, thats what friends are all about. Looking forward to going over to Si myself to pick up the cabinet and of course a chin wag with Si. When I saw the tiger stripes in your Raider stock last night, I just knew that this was going to be cracking when completed. What most of you guys don't know is that when I spoke to Jimmy around 7pm, he had already stripped the varnish, washed the wood and was on with smoothing down with wet n dry, this is not going to be very long before it is done and gleaming on these p

    Whilst I am not going to use my hw99 for very much live quarry shooting but I have a few perms where it will be fun to use BUT as a novice springer hunter and springer user period, what do you lads do whilst waiting for the bunny / squirrel / magpie to turn up in terms of having the rifle ready. Do you cock and load the gun with just the safety to slip off or keep the spring relaxed with a pellet chambered ready to cock and shoot. It might sound a daft question but I really am not sure it is okay to leave the gun cocked without causing damage to the spring and if so how long would you

    Oh yes Ben, stick my name in the hat please, that looks a cracker. Phil

    Just had half an hour before the rain came back as I wanted to make a slight adjustment of the scope vertical turret to try to get a tighter group, I really like this rifle. A five shot group after a couple of clicks adjustment. Phil

    No. Just buy a tin of each and shoot them. Phil

    I have to say Matt that Si told me about your gun and what it was able to do in your hands which was a big factor in buying this gun along with Si's own experience of course. I know it is very early days but I really like this little gun, it's early performance has really sparked my interest in springers again and might even use it on some perms. I bought a springer to pass time during the lockdown as I thought it would be a challenge whereas the Impact .25 fac is a little overgunned in my cottage garden but this is just nice. Having heard the various comments regarding .22 calibre 99, I migh

    I know they are available in 4.51 and 4.52 but not sure if any other sizes are available. In fact Sundon Model Shop sells them in both and possibly Voymir. Phil

    Might be worth a call to Hull Cartridge next week and if there are any tech boys in, they may be able to talk you through it. Phil

    Would you have had .22 Mitch.

    If you don't get anywhere, contact me as the dealer is a pal of mine and I can get hold of him for you. I know he has a hw110k .22 in stock along with a number of hw100 models plus an hw100 bulpup. Here you go http://shootingsupplies.info/gunroom/ Phil

    I don't do facebook but you can also reach him there if there is nobody at the shop. What pcp are you looking for and you can go on their website and look in the 'gun room' which is Gun Star so you need to make sure you have only Crawfords guns. I enter on location, scunthorpe hospital then say a 10 mile radius and you will only get crawfords. I hate bloody gun star but it may help you. Loads of guns in there. Phil

    Well I couldn't wait until tomorrow so a short session to set zero at 15mts which is all my little cottage garden allows but nevertheless after 9 shots to zero using JSB Exacts, I thought I would have a go at some hand drawn spot targets to see how both the gun and I handle it. I am not a springer shooter as most of you know, in fact I am bloody rubbish BUT I am pleased with the first attempt and gives me the drive to practice hard to get the hang of this side of the sport which will present a challenge during these dark days ahead. Anyway here is my first go, these are three shot groups

    Well guys I have farted around as much as I was going to do with the HW57 which I sooooo wanted to work for me but we reached a point when I picked up the phone and hit the short code for Si Brown .....................................HELP !!!!!! You have already seen some of the issues I have had with the three hw57 rifles I had been trying out and just when I had settled on one of the them and with a new scope fitted, the POI started to move around to the point that I was making really pretty dot for dot patterns all over an A4 sheet of paper. A fault with the scope so three other scopes
