What Would You Use?

[Ruster 9]

I thinking about either getting a new rifle or changing the barrel on my hw95 but before i do wanted to know what you thought of .20 for a hunting caliber?

 

I have used .22 in every gun i have had but after seeing a few .177 shots got me thinking what about a middle of the road caliber, is it worth using or is it best to stick with a .22?

Its not worth changing the barrel you would be better buying new . With heavy pallets in .177 and lighter pellets in .22 cant see the need for .20 imo

Stick to .22 mate

I've been using .20 for the past six years or so and I wouldn't go back to either .22 or .177 in a sub 12 gun. It really does work very well indeed and there's plenty of pellets to choose from but mostly online. Stick to the main brands, H and N, JSB and avoid the crappy U.S. made stuff (other than Crosman, they're quality) and you'll be fine. Change the barrel on your 95, experiment and enjoy

Chambers for a new barrel

[Ruster 9]

Thanks for the advice, might give it a go sounds worth a try but yeah chambers is the only place really i found to buy a barrel

What are your thoughts on the weight and balance of your hw95 ?

If you want a bit more weight at the front have a look at the hw98 barrel ...if they do them in .20 ?

It will fit straight onto your 95 action

Maybe he could look at getting hold of a tuned second hand 98 Skot
