Heres mine, sold it to fund the HW97K and whilst the HW is personally better for me, there is sill something about the TX200 i miss.

 

[bigmac 97kt 13,825]

I know what you mean mate if i had the money id duy them all back but i have a new pro sport on the way atvbmac

[ghillies 209]

i've heard this so many times with kits...why let them go?

 

(yeh i know money and needs be..lol).

 

my favourate is 'i shoulda bought two of them..' one breaks and eather theyre good and the price quodroupled or they dont do them any more.

I adore my HW spring rifles, God knows I must have bored some of you lads enough with banging on about them before now. But I have a TX200HC .177 that's in a class of its own and that, like my HW rifles, is never going to be sold!

Iv said that lods of times simon but when needs must they seam to be the first things to go you can not see her in doors selling enything of there,s to help pay the bills atvbmac ps. thinking of getting little hunter a hw or hw 95 what do you think is the best plinker for him

[degster 1]

both guns are spot on mate but the is a lot heavier .ive had a 95k for 5 years now and ill never sell it ,some guns you get bored of and dont mind getting shut of but not the 95 it suits me perfect so i suppose your choice depends on how strong little hunter is

Cheers bud vislauk is my shooting partner and he said the 95 as it was a bit lighter than the but little hunter likes the took him to the gun shop today and tryed them both for size and whait the 95 was better for him atvbmac

I know what you mean Mac when the Devil's in the driving seat and a bill's got to be paid. I know what that is like to have to sell something precious like a treasured rifle to pay my way. I've done it myself. But, we try to get on and make the most with what we have. This pathetically ridiculous "Bedroom Tax" is going to hit a lot of folk hard....

 

In all honesty Mac the HW80K is a superb rifle for a young lad to grow up with. For a little extra heft that makes no great difference than an HW95, he'll really get to grips with handling and develloping himself into a shooter in his own right. I've never been without an HW80 for many years and I'm baffled why people make a point of the weight. This is what a proper rifle weighs. I've carried them all day all weekend and I've never experienced any discomfort or impractical side effect on handling and shooting with them. This is a rifle that will teach a youngster far more about handling skills for marksmanship, than a lightweight air rifle will. And I'm no spring chicken anymore.

 

When I was your grandson's age I shot with a .22LR belonging to my dad and at 13 I was an ATC cadet marksman with an Enfield .303 service rifle. My first air rifle was a hefty old Webley. All of my air rifles since have been and still are spring rifles which are regarded as heavy. All my shooting experience has been with a rifle weighing 8lbs or more.

 

I honestly think the complaints I've read about the HW80's weight is either unrealistic or it's a thing said by people who've never owned one but are simply making assumptions and repeating what they've read or heard from elsewhere.

 

Seriously. If a person cannot handle the weight of an HW80, they really need to get their arms and upper body strength building up!

 

If he was my lad, that's where we'd be starting. Get him used to shooting and handling a solid, proper rifle right from the start.

 

All the best Mac, for all your time with him.

What pianoman said..

 

Although, my daughter has recently started shooting and because she's neither big or strong, I got her an old 35 and cut the stock down a bit so it fits her properly. We found the 35 for just over a oner(just in case its a fad,i didn't want to pay out for a new rifle). Nice little gun, easily fettled and cos its an old hw built to last until her kids start shooting.
