Hi bud, got some RWS Superfields in 4.51mm if you fancy swapping a few, also AA Diablo Fields 4.52mm H&N FTT 4.50mm. Also got some H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme, not sure of the exact size! PM incoming John

You could try one of these 3-12x44 30mm tube: http://www.leapers.c...tus=&mtrack=1m1 Great scope for the money and it would leave the loading port clear. Available from JSR for under £100 ATB, John

You could fit an aperture sight to the scope rails but fitting a front sight would present a problem unless the silencer is removable, I used to use a Williams FP-AG-TK sporting aperture sight available here: http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/WilliamsGunSights.html ATB, John

Leapers 3-12x44, great scope for under £100, I have the 3-9x44 on my HW77. Mounted on a Sportsmatch medium height mount, objective lens 2mm above the action, just enough room for the objective cover. http://www.jsramsbottom.com/products/riflescopes-leapers/swat31244ir36color-leapers-swat-3-12x44-full-size-illuminated-mil-dot-30mm-side-focus-scope-36-colou.html ATB, John

Lovely rifle and a bargain if in good order, what calibre? ATB, John

After a break of nearly 30 yrs I bought a HW77K, and fitted a V-Mach kit myself, very straightforward with a few basic tools, plenty of info on the Weihrauch Owners Club site, I'll post some links with photos if you'd like. You won't regret it, great rifles the HW's, IMHO it would be a false economy to buy a cheaper rifle and tune it only to sell it on and buy a Weihrauch. ATB, John

Yes the RWS Superfield I do Yes I understand that, but it's not always the case that you need a more expensive pellet, having said that my HW77K isn't very pellet fussy, shoots most quality pellets consistently.

That's a bit of a sweeping statement, I'm having great results with RWS Superfield 4.51mm and Superdomes, they're hardly the most expensive pellets. ATB, John

I'd be tempted to get one of these, excellent scope: http://www.jsramsbot...e-36-colou.html Or if money's really tight the JSR branded Leapers: http://www.jsramsbot...-up-covers.html Either will leave the loading port clear. ATB, John

I believe Pellet perfect have ceased trading recently, it's a pity, well recommended. ATB, John

£ seems a little excessive for a service and after 100-200 pellets it should not be deiseling, I'd suggest taking the gun to someone else. ATB, John

Second dibbs, but would prefer it without the scope if possible. ATB, John

The Leapers are very recoil resistant and have good optics, they're on the heavy side though, can't comment on the Hawke as I've never owned one. ATB, John

Hi Simon, unfortunately not, but I have shot with one, I had a friend whos father was stationed at Burtonwood air base, I believe the rifle was brought over from the US. I did own a BSF 54 some years ago, wish I'd kept it, apparently they're quite rare these days. I bought the BSF from Manchester Airguns, couldn't afford the HW77 at the time. I've always been a big fan of underlever air rifles and owned quite a few as well as a Webley Osprey sidelever which I never really took to for some reason. Is the Airking the semi-recoiless model? I have to agree with your comments on the HW80 , alt

The RWS Diana 460 Magnum is a very good 20+ ft/lb springer, not as awkward to cock and load as the Model 48/52 sidelever and very accurate. ATB, John
