    A lad at the club disliked the difference in length and balance ( weight),when he fitted a different silencer. My 97 is running on Sandwell Field Sport internals and highly polished with correct lube, other than that as standard. As you know Gaoler, they are a hell of a gun, a must own air rifle, personally I will stay as mine is now for what difference another silencer would make.

    Let you into a secret John, I had actually said yes please to Jeff over your Excaliber but suffered van repairs and had to let go of the deal because of paying van repairs . Still looks a beauty of a rifle and a carbine to boot, enjoy buddy and please put the photos up to pi55 me off again atb Mark.

    Hmmmmm - The HW100 v Excaliber will be interesting ? Enjoy John !

    Not sure of your thoughts on the HW 100 KS Jimmy in .22 cal` but the one I use is supremely accurate, its hard to miss with them ! ( using Mitch`s Falcon Accuracy Plus )

    My that photo brings back a few memories We used to buy Marksman pellets and 10 no 10 fags when we were skint. If the boss let us work Sat morning that would become 10 no6 fags and Eley Wasp pellets

    Well Foxdropper, you were correct buddy, got another phone call from the nursery owner,- the chicken eggs are being taken again ! Exactly the same set up lads but this time I only waited 15 minus tops and got him. The nursery is also being plagued by wood pigeons eating the young Autumn lettuce seedlings. Gas bangers, people walking about and still they come in. Not as much now though as they are realising some protection is occasionally there.

    Hi WD, Sounds like you might well need to check the " optical zero" on your scope buddy. Rather than me start trying to chant off, take a look at " How to find optical zero " - Tom Cat airguns on you tube , so, so easy to do matey. Good luck Mark.

    Hi Jimmy, I mentioned to Joe, my FAO about 17 HMR and the reply was,- no FAC tickets are being issued this year because of all the issues that have been going on and yes I would have no problems should I ever apply . One of my largest permissions is passed for the use of fac. The HW80 would lose value having it put on ticket Jim as I`m told it would stay a firearm once registered and that would make it only available to fac holders should I ever want to sell on. The other side of the coin is that I love the challenge of hunting su

    As far as I know it`s totally untouched buddy. I am very tempted to leave her that way and continue with her single stage record trigger and I am also very tempted to have a highly tuned two stage trigger and rifle but by who ? Sandwell Field Sports were my first thoughts but sadly they have recently had some bad press on another forum that put me on a back burner for now Phill ?

    Aye up Phill, With F.A.P`s. she`s running a very consistent 626.64 ft/sec, 11.71 ft/lbs. I`ve regularly checked her numbers and she is always legal. I`m getting a very flat trajectory for .22 and the accuracy I`m getting is superb. A very good hunting rifle the MK1 HW 80.

    Got a phone call off the nursery owner this early afternoon about a magpie that is forever taking eggs from his new hen pens behind his biggest tunnel. He said that he's tried trapping and shooting but the bird is too cunning and he cant get near it as much as he tries. Well I was at the nursery as agreed for 5-30pm and set up straight away,- no rocket science, sat amongst the back hedges, primos sticks, full leaf suit and then behind camo netting. Here's the view before the nettings are draped over us. The new hen pens are just behind

    My very best wishes to you all Jimmy and may you all have a great time with the clay shooting. A 410 and 28, I`d have thought should be fine, sounds great fun too buddy. Enjoy. atvb, Mark.

    A bit like swimming, riding a bike and having a shag me thinks, if you were once good it soon comes back, if not - buy a pcp , or an FAC air if you were really crap at airgun hunting( hit anywhere will do ), , - the old Bingo caller won't be long now. ( well i could`nt resist)

    Nice shooting Jimmy My choice would be a 97K in .177 for daytime buddy, this 97k I bought off Simon, ( pianoman) is outstanding in the hunting field. Never shoot just a pcp mate, as you know, shoot both and the spring rifles will always keep your shooting to a high standard,- never, ever the other way round. Again, nice shooting Jimmy .

    Nice shooting John

    Sorry for the late reply Phill only just seen this, yes I`ve been out a good few times already buddy and I`m very pleased with her as for posting photos, no, not until the GL goal posts stay still. Hi Phil, are you at odds as to why training/ practice with sub 12 spring piston air rifles or sub 12 pcp rifles, FAC air rifles ,the talk, suggestions, bouncing off each other with advice , pellets, slugs etc is not a major part of disciplined hunting is not clear ? The pellet advice, accuracy advice, from this forum, given over the hunting section, to me and others has be

    Aye up Joe, I had my TX 200 HC MK3 .177 cal` tuned by Phil at Rat Works. Not a HW100 I know but came back a very fine rifle indeed. They were excellent people to deal with to.

    Not sure if you lads remember but I picked up an untouched MK1 HW80 .22cal some few weeks back. I have held back from hunting with her as I like to be very used and confident with any new addition to my cabinet. It has taken nearly 3 years to find a good, clean, untouched 80. I`m very impressed with her to say the least.

    As per John, Top shooting buddy

    Ha! Ha! Geoff` the head keeper I helped out as a kid, always called a v shaped gun rest a Yocal ( spelling ? ) . Apparently " Yocal", after googling it, means unsophisticated country people, country bumpkin, hillbilly etc, etc ( a bit deep from the 19th century attitudes I read) . Did you and Sausage Roll know my head keeper Walshie ? x
  21. mark williams
    Hi Sausage Roll, Not normally fella.

    Hmmmmm , Not sure now, definitely was`nt you

    Hi buddy, I use a HW97K .177 regularly for static hunting. I use the Primos shooting sticks , double yokel as my gun rest. The heavier the gun, the better with this style of static hunting ( for me). Constant, consistent practice is your first port of call, - practice, practice and practice some more. Rest the gun in the palm of your leading hand, no grip, let her rest easy, let her recoil as she likes.Let the gun rest in the front yokel, hands off Gently rest the stock

    Looks good Jonjon - have fun buddy . While we are on the subject guess what I`ve bought for the HW77 long you and Jimmy once owned, yep just bought the front and rear sights from a chap breaking an early MK2 HW 77 long . Well I too fancy some of the old days open field sights shooting, if my eyes will allow, if not she's at least " complete " again.

    Nice shooting John. Good looking ground too. Well done buddy
