Mawders 595 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Look up huntersvermin on youtube, Irish fella that shoots pigeons with his .177 97KT synthetic. He's a very good shooter but you will see the accuracy he's getting from it. Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Ive only had 4 97's lolhw97k .22 about 4yrs ago, before i stopped shooting.hw97kt synthetic .177 about this time last yearhw97k .22 to try .22 again after using .177 ( actually prefer .177 now)then got rid of the synthetic one and got one with a wooden thumbhole stock...and i prefer that stock out of them all its beautifuul and soooo sexayyyy in my oppinion looks better than a prosport.

Marksman 934 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 the 97 is one of the best spring rifles available in my eyes easily stripped and repaired, easily tuned and shoots as accurate as they come! Darryl 2 Quote Link to post
open season 21 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks guys for the replies my mouth is watering even more now lol you say tuning what would i tune on these rifles and where would i go to get the tuning bits thanks guys its really appreciated openseason Quote Link to post
Marksman 934 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 you could get a DIY Vmach kit and fit it yourself depending how competent you are, or there are loads of reputable tuners out there, Sandwell Fieldsports being just one of them Darryl Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just spent all day with Davy in SFS getting the Spectres tuned to 10.9 FPE now they are run in and Davy as just put his HW97KT in for a S2T with Tony. On chronographing my HW97KT it had run in so well now after thousands of pellets it was doing almost 14 FPE. Tony stripped it and dropped it to 11 FPE. Even less recoil now. I shot a 30 shot group after in SFS range all that would go under a 1p. Amazing rifles. Quote Link to post
open season 21 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Mawders i watched Huntersvermin on you tube bloody brilliant i was well impressed with the 97 and its accuracy thanks mate Nice collection of springers Skot and i will be giving Sandwell a ring cheers Darryl thanks guys for the info and feed back on the hw 97 openseason Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 No problem buddy, zini on here does some awesome videos of his 97KT but it has the wooden stock, same rifle none the less although his is tuned by one of the best air rifle tuners in the country tony wall at sandwell field sports. Look up verminhunterstv on youtube and find the 97kt videos. Mawders 1 Quote Link to post
