Mawders 595 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I handled a lovely hw80 today that was silky smooth to cock and fire and the added weight over the 95 helped with its handling. I've owned a hw95 that was stage 1 tuned and was a delight to fire but because of its weight meant I couldn't truly get on with it which was a real shame. If I was to get another break barrel my money would be going on a 98 or an tuned. 1 Quote Link to post
gurtwurz 792 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm bringing my on sunday to shoot the afternoon round, or just to play on the plinking range with, so youre welcome to have a go on that mate, I've tried the 98 and really like it but I think a well tuned would be the better gun, particularly as they can be stage 2 tuned and respond really well to the treatment. Although mine is loony tuned by andy on here,i can't see it really being worth getting it S2'd as its the mutts nuts as is. 1 Quote Link to post
gasman1 15 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 a proper work horse is the hw80. a very nice gun and was nearly the first ever gun i bought. in the end i thought sod it and went down the pcp route with a brand new hw100 in 22. another top gun. pound for pound hw guns do take some beating.

Mawders 595 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Bernie what stage tune did you go for? 1 or 2? How long did tony say you'll be waiting mate? Quote Link to post
bernie67 35 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 no offence taken skot i am under no illusions i will properly never be the shot si pittaway is. i know there is going to have to be lots of practice getting to know the rifle and being confident of making good clean kills before venturing out into the field. hi mawders tony said about 4 weeks for the stage 2 tune which i went for.tony was very helpful with advice on which scope to go for gone for hawke panorama 4x12x50. anyone got one of these?what are they like? 1 Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah loads of us have the same scope mate. Si has the same one on his 97 and I have the same one but with a 40mm objective instead of the 50mm you have gone for. It will be the longest 4 weeks of your life waiting for it, but when you get it you will be well chuffed. Quote Link to post
bernie67 35 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 thanks mawders,time seems to be moving in slow motion.spent a lot of time researching what to get pcp, gas ram, or springer. can't see the point of getting cheap rifle and quickly afterwards wanting something better.ti think i have made a good choice thanks to si and his yt videos.

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 i have both panoramas a 40 and 50 mm. i also have 2 97's lol, but none of them are tuned. good scopes for the money for an air rifle there all you really need. you wont be dissapointed with your rifle or your scope Quote Link to post
