ok guys ive had my hw90k for a couple of weeks now and ive messed around finding the best pellet for it plus changed scope, its hitting the spot every time now but i still think its a bit over weight, would there be any point looking at a custom stock? maybe a lighter wood and smaller butt as my arms are not that long lol.

Hi

I came back to the sport earlier this year and bought a HW100 which had been made lighter with a v-mach cylinder (11oz lighter!!). What I have found though is that I have become stronger over the weeks that followed. The more I use it the less I notice the weight, even with a bipod, scope and torch attached.

Personally I would give it a bit longer before making big changes. Weight can be an advantage for stability!

With a springer, changing the weight will change the point of impact a fair bit, and increase the felt recoil. You might also get a bit more muzzle flip which could affect accuracy.

Hi Mate

 

HW's are heavy because of the action, not the stock, so I'm not sure that apart from looking cool, what difference a custom stock would make to the overall weight.

 

I struggled with the weight of my HW77 for a while, both when I first got it and after using an S410 TDR for 6 months. Once you get used to it and you will, the extra weight becomes a real ally, especially at longer distances as the weight will give you a more positive hold.

 

That said, if you have the cash spare, a custom, properly fitted stock can really make a difference as well!
