KurtH 74 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Oh.....!! You have some patience. I would have had a 500w halogen spotlight mounted on the scope and would be shooting the crap out of everything in the garden by now. I'm not so fussed about the grouping as you may be a shit shot. How it handles and shoots etc is what I'm interested in. Atvb I tried getting the day off work but failed,lol I don't want to shoot it at night because it's rather loud (sounds like a whip cracking), which is why I spent a little time shopping in order to keep my neighbours at bay... But, I'm gonna put a few through it on Sunday and will post my findings Quote Link to post
KurtH 74 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Ok.... Day off today, so got my FX Bobcat .22 and my Weihrauch HW100KT .177 zeroed in.... Refilled both to 200 bar.... Out of the box, here are the groupings using a full mag at 25 yards.... First up the HW100 using AA Diablo Field 8.4gr - 14 shots.... Next the Bobcat using H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66gr - 12 shots.... Out of the box, I'm pleased with the results.... (Obviously they've not bedded in yet neither) The cocking mechanism of the Bobcat is really good. Very similar to the Weihrauch. The loading of the HW100 feels ever so slightly smoother, however, I think this is down to the H & N Pellets, as some of the skirts don't look in the best of condition, so will be purchasing some AA Diablo Fields for the Bobcat too and will update my findings.... The Bobcat fits in the shoulder nice, and the adjustable butt pad is also a bonus. The cheek piece on the Bobcat is positioned really well. There are 3 power settings on the Bobcat, but I left it the highest setting so I've not tried the lowest. The Bobcat is loud, well loud enough to make my neighbours close their doors this fine Sunday in Hull (I have ordered a moderator they'll be pleased to know).... All in all, I'm very pleased with both rifles, as I'm sure once they're bedded in, they'll work even better. To be honest, if I had purchased the Bobcat first, I probably wouldn't have even bothered getting an HW100, however, I'm still keeping it Would I recommend the Bobcat - HELL YEAH 1 Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 nice one mate glad your happy with your toys. im over the moon with my hw100kt .22 its simply amazing! 1 Quote Link to post
KurtH 74 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 After seeing my Bobcat perform in .22, I'm thinking I should've gone .22 with the HW100, but I'm still happy Quote Link to post
Elliott 436 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 You should get much better groups than that with the HW100. Si Pittaway had great results with RWS Superfield pellets if memory serves. Falcon Accuracy Plus are a good pellet too 1 Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 in my .22 hw100 the rws superfield looked like a shotgun had hit the target at 35 yds but the jsb and AA fields were 5p sized groups everytime. and im not the best shot in the world. but yes the hw100 .177 should do a lot better than that mate, try a few different brands of pellets 1 Quote Link to post

However in .177 lots of people seem to have great results Quote Link to post

villaman 9,980 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 In the HW 100 try Daystate heavies or JSB heavies 10 .3gr both are the same pellet and fantastic and great for long range shooting as well Quote Link to post

This was yesterdays results at 35 yards with the AA Diablo Fields Quote Link to post
nangell 50 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 first time ive seen the fx bobcat and I like it ,just watched the review and like it even more Quote Link to post
Lewis Ste 245 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 thats bobcat looks great! just couldnt justify the money. might pick one up in the second hand market one day... Quote Link to post
KurtH 74 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 They are expensive, but if I ever decide I wanna sell it on, I could sell it and still have enough for another brand of rifle - brand new, lol Quote Link to post
