New To Air Rifle Shooting - Springer Of Choice ?

[villaman 9,983]

Well I thought I would put a few pellets through the HW95 today and through the chronograph

Remember this HW95 of mine is untouched apart from the a different mod , put 50 Falcon accuracy plus 13.4gr ,one pellet read 612fps and one pellet 618fps and the rest came in at 613-617 , thats only 4 fps spread over 48 pellets ,this matches my old BSA Ultra .177 regged by XTX AIR

 

Not bad for out of the box HW95 and pellets straight out of the tin !!!!!!

My 95 has only been gone a week and I am missing it already but it has got my mate away who had been dithering for a month so I let him have it to get him away and let me try the 98 out. I think I will get an imp to fill the gap.

And a 16 week wait

Is it really 16 weeks now? I've heard lots of different time scales.

The Imp is not available in .177 i believe, - is that correct lads please ?

[treecreeper 1,136]

Yes Mark sure that is correct

[villaman 9,983]

They only do the imp in a man's cal and my god it's very good

[jonnie bravo 572]

Aye mark .22 only as treecreeper has said- think the 99s is just too jumpy in .177 at full power.

 

Out of the box, I think I'd be more tempted to buy a Walther LGV in .22. Failing that an AA prosport/tx200, in .177 or .22. I think the HWs are lacking a bit of finish at the moment

[Rez 4,957]

LGV mate. All over that...

[treecreeper 1,136]

It's a fettled 99 anyway though ain't it? So nowt to stop you fettling your own?

Very true. Perhaps they just know the 'formula' which all adds up to a great little bag filler.

Best springer I've ever used bar non is the 99s. And to me it's that simple. I've had loads over the years but non came close

[villaman 9,983]

I have a imp and i can tell you its one hell of a gun , every shot i do from it ,I end up shacking my head in amazement how bloody accurate it is
