Yes mate I first fell in love with these guns when my dad used to have 1 I could not wait to get home from school and shoot it like but it was just a bit heavy then as I was a lot younger and as I got older I went down the rapid 7 route. Now I got a hw 100 sporter in 177 but I really fancy a hw 97k in 177 like so fingers crossed won will come along or I'll have to buy a nice new 1
