Hello Gents, yesterday 20th Dec, I got my hands on a HW98 in .177, I've been using air rifles for fourty years and I'm kicking myself it has taken so long to get around to buying one of these. Thirty six hours in and I've discovered it's faultless, really, it rates as my top gun. It's perfectly ballanced and a lovely size for my frame (6'1" tall, me not the gun). It is on the chunky side but adds greatly to stability. I'll come back in a couple of weeks when the honeymoon is over and she if I still love it.
