Hi Nathan, I have tuned spring piston rifles and I have an untouched MK1 HW80 .22 cal. That rifle hits like a freight train for a sub 12 .22 and deadly accurate but I practice a lot with it, practice, practice, perfect practice makes perfect, no tune will ever beat that ( for me ). Sandwell Field Sports is a most popular tuner if you do go that route. Good luck Nathan.

I can't speak a word about Daystate rifles as I`ve always steered clear of them since listening to the many bad reports on the various forums about them. I can however mention a fella in one of the ranges I went to was a right guru at gunsmithing and was " forever" repairing them. The huntsman was always on his work bench. My cup of tea is spring piston rifles, never do they give any type of trouble and they have all shot a hillside of vermin, all are every bit as accurate as

Yep, I would tend to agree, especially with the thumb hoke required . -
Hawk Varmint scopes,. Made for shooters who could`nt shoot for shit, before PCP`s came to the rescue. I`m surprised you sold that scope Phil but I`m not surprised Mitch bought it He`ll never sell that scope again, to anyone ! x

Well lads, not one rabbit to even be seen. The nursery owners are complaining about wood pigeons feeding on the trays of veg` seedlings being on sale to the public, so I thought I`ll try my hand there. Again, extremely slow but got a good presentation on the pea seedlings. Nothing changed, - primos sticks, full leaf suit, bucket seat, tight into the hedgerows . Rarely does this old lady miss, they make superb hunting spring rifles.

Well I went out, no gun, as I often do, planning the next ambush, ( sub 12 static hunting ) on the pests and vermin. Watched a couple of Jays eat a poor fledgling alive and then the nearly born from this egg. Such cruel but beautiful of birds the Jays. So the song birds will be on their menu now for sure in my woodland permission. Keep your eye on them lads.

Which springer too buy?
mark williams replied to Adampie8432's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
HW 97 in .177 cal or HW 77 in .177 cal at sub 12 level are both very accurate and powerful rifles but definitely benefit from a tune. However I also shoot the Pro Sport and the TX 200 HC MK3 also both in .177 cal, no tune required, excellent rifles untouched. Good luck with your choices Adam - please shoulder everyone`s suggested rifles for fit, first buddy -
Your help appreciated. 12ft lb rat gun setup.

Quality second hand HW95 Luxus or HW 80. -
Hi Jake, Air Arms 4.52, 8.4 g or JSB Exact Express 4.52, 7.87 g. Don't forget to give a light spray of gun oil, at arms length, to the empty loading side of the magazine every 5th reload. Rally tightens the groups up Please forgive the dawn target

Happy birthday/ new year you old fcuker.

Practice/ target work in hunting is very important, would`nt you think ? Well, took the HW 77 Long out, got two presentations in these trees, a good favourite spot of mine. A testing spot for a true 12 ft/lb spring piston rifle hunter. No rocket science lads, basic full leaf suit, shooting sticks ( Primos ) and patience. 38 to 43 yds range here lads. We have oil seed rape fields getting visited by the wood pigeons regularly now to the rear and below this rise, so if the presentation shows in amongst these branches, I`ll take

Using a spring piston rifle to a high standard and for a decent length of time and then start using a pcp, normally ends with the pcp giving back a high standard of marksmanship. Never, ever seen it happen the other way round.

I`d be lost without a 97 in my cabinet, they really are a must own gun.

Hi Phil,lads, We have been through a real bad time with my eldest son and to be honest I`ve hardly picked a rifle up other than practice for nigh on 2 years. He's diagnosed with adhd, bad mental health etc, he was having suicidal thoughts also. He's slowly mending ( mental health) now, adhd is permanent and for life but yeah, been through a hell of a bad time to be honest.

I remember a big bloke on this forum calling my shooting sticks - said they were my zimmer frame lads,- twat. I also remember that big bloke calling my style of shooting ( static, ambush) as being sat on my fat arse technique, - twat. Yeah and the same twa, bloke has now been and paid me for umpteen shooting lessons this last 6 months, begged me to keep it secret too, seems to be paying off for you Jim, sitting on yer fat arse with yer mop sticks. Great write up and shooting mate. Love the look of y

My New Pride and Joy… Paul Short Stage 4 Tuned Hw97kt .22
mark williams replied to C3PO's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Not seen you for a good while Jimmy, hope you are still getting out there in beautiful Yorkshire mate. She's well looked after Jim, I bought front and back opens for her from a guy on another forum who was breaking an old mk2 77, I have also put a lovely old platted leather sling onto her from the late 70`s, other than that she is untouched from your good self. Here she is mate at the fore front with a mk1 HW 80. long .22 - what a set of sub 12 hunters these two are.
