HW97k or HW80k for Hunting?


Recommended Posts

Dear friends,

 

I am a new member on this site. But I have been reading a lot of post from this site. I would like to know your views on HW97k vs. HW80k. (I am aware that hw80k is a magnum airgun while hw97k is medium powered airgun and many people don't like to compare these two airguns, but my question is related to hunting) So, which one would you prefer purely for hunting. Kindly help!

Depends on your countries legal limit here it's sub 12ft/lb so really there just as good as each other but the 97k abit accurater because of fixed barrel but the do do the 80 in fac (more powerful) model but you could probably tune both to be more powerful

What exactly is a "Magnum" air gun?

 

All rifles (magnum or not) need to have less than 12 ft/lbs muzzle energy for them to be legal without requiring a Fire Arms Certificate in England, Scotland and Wales.

 

So it all depends on which rifle you feel is the best for you :yes:

i love my 97kt. and the 97 i had a few years ago.

my mate had 3 80's and i didnt like any of them, its down to personal preference really mate.

 

both will do the same job very well and there isnt much between them accuracy and power wise..

 

so pick each one up and handle it and whichever you like most go ahead and make a purchase

Hey Eagle Eyes! Haha, after an s200 or EVEN a HW100.... having trouble finding an s200 in ,177 plus pump. Ideally I'd hang onto the MK3. Or HW97k. Or MK2...correction, ideally I'd fart money and keep ALL OF EM MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA :yahoo:
