How Good Is The Hw100Kt?

[trigger2 3,100]

i have got a bsa hornet 22 air riffle at the moement and its my first pre charged gun i have owned. ive also got a hw77k 177 which i have had for 20years. the bsa has got me wanting to do some serious airgun shooting

 

i have been looking at the hw100kt and was wondering which would be the best calibre in that model if i was to get one?

 

and also would i notice much difference in performance to my bsa hornet? are they worth spending the money on?

in a word yes. Calibre is a personal choice and will depend what your using it for. you get more shots with a .22 but a flatter trajectory with .177 there is also a .20 but never shot one, id imagine its the best of both worlds.

AMAZING

BSA hornet is a very accurate gun , like most BSA PCPs , But HW100kt is just so nice to shoot ,it seems to shoot so much better than any gun IMO ( apart from my BSA ultra Skot )

thanks for the info people.

 

treecreeper i didnt realize that there was a .20. i always thought airguns only came in the 2 calibres do any other manufactures make .20s?

They are bloody brilliant! I'm about to pick up my .177 to go with the .22 I already have.

I have Bsa,s air arms, daystates, theobens and rate my kt equal if not more than any of them.

[villaman 9,979]

Yes most do .20 now , Hw100 20 can be very pellet fussy and there is not a lot to choose from ether

ive seen a hw 100 sporter for sale its got the thumb hole stock like the hwkt is it the same gun?

[villaman 9,979]

Its longer and heaver but the same gun

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

Sporter normally refers to the stock mate. you either get a sporter or a thumbhole.

 

K is for carbine, shorter length version and the 'normal' or full length version is, well, longer! by a few inches. and you get more shots

 

so a hw100s is a full length with a sporter stock

a hw100ks is a carbine length in a sporter stock

 

a hw100t is thumbhole and full length

a hw100kt is the carbine in a thumbhole stock.

 

then theres the FSB in both full length and carbine length with both stock options. e.g. hw100fsbkt or hw100fsbs (fully shrouded barrel) what a mouthful saying all that lol..

just there to blag your head even more LOL I was confused at first aswell mate

Some do call the full length hw sporter gun

[one-in-the-net 24]

Ive got a gunpower stealth what will give and hw a run for its money and another top end air rifle at that ive got a. 177 a. 22 and a. 25 and can honestly say ill never get rid of them there proper work tools all fitted with 24inch bsa barrels and reflex silencers wont let me upload pics says there too large :-(

No the full length is the Rifle, the shorter length is the Carbine (or Karbine).

 

Sporter is to do with stocks. The only way a Sporter can be a Sporter in a Thumbhole stock is if someone has put the action into a non HW thumbhole stock, say a CS or GinB. Then it is just an HW100 in a thumbhole stock I suppose, seeing as it is not an official T stock.
