  2. The best spring rifle to own, which is it in your opinion

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    TX200 for me, no debate.

    IMHO the Prosport loses out on looks.

    Next HW77. Mine's nearly as good as the TX but it's taken a lot of practice that the TX didn't.

    HW99s Great little rifle straight out of the box. Strange that such a light rifle is so accurate contrary to what you hear about weight adding stability.

    HW97KT. Sorry folks but I just can't get any consistency from mine.

    I'm not sure of the head size till I dig them out in the morning.

    Rez, They are a bit tight but not too bad. Like I said before, I can't do a fair accuracy test with the wind as it has been recently.

    I've got a tin of Barracuda Match to try next,

    Maybe a bit controversial, a while ago I gave Crossman Premiers a bash in my 97. JS Ramsbottoms sell them in boxes of 1250. I can't remember the price but they were cheap. These were very tight and were a pain to load. I put them through a TbT sizing die to 4.51. I was very impressed with the accuracy. I don't know the range of sizes they make but 4.50 might be worth a go.

    I decided to try these pellets in my HW77 today. 

    1st impressions are really good. 

    They seem to punch through the wind better than JSBs. They also smack pretty hard.

    The inconsistent wind meant a fair accuracy comparison was not possible. 

    I tried them in my TX200 but they were not quite as good.

    Has anyone else got any thoughts?

  15. Falcon S18i 3-18x50 ffp

    I've just fitted a Falcon S18i FFP to my HW77. The glass is very clear throughout the mag range.

    The reticle is sharp and the lines are not too thick at high mag. They are a bit thin at x3 & x4 but a bit of reticle illumination sorts it out.

    The turrets are super accurate but don't lock. They don't feel like they will move without human input but only time will tell.

    Expensive at £350 but a lot cheaper than the Sidewinder FFP and the reticle is sharper.

    It only took 5 shots to zero at 50m.

    I've not been able to shoot a decent group due to strong, gusty wind but I was pinging golf balls at 50m (roughly 60%).

    I'll post some pics when the weather is better.

  20. Scope recommendations

    Konus and Falcon are well worth a look at. I've just put a Falcon S18i on my hw77. I've not had a chance to shoot it yet but 1st impressions are good. Glass and Ret are both crystal clear right accross the mag range.

    I looked at a Konus aswell with similar results. Both sell scopes in your budget.

  24. HW77

    TbT spring guide and tophat fitted. The 77 shoots beautifully now. Just needs me to get more consistent. It is more hold sensitive than the TX when you get dialled in, it's bang on accurate. Maybe TX owners are spoiled because they're more forgiving.
