Collected The Hw 80 K

[shropshire dan 467]

WOW

 

I didn't expect this rifle to feel as well made as it does. I've had a few TX 200's and loved them due to the build quality but this thing is a peice of engineering genius.

 

I fitted the new Hawke Varmint sf scope with the Sportsmatch mounts and have to say it feels amazing.

 

I think I'm going to remove the silencer to cut down on overall length.

As I don't see a silencer being much use on a spring air rifle.

 

Also why is it stamped Hull Cartridges?

 

Thanks

official importers!

 

hw80 very special in my heart, only gun ive ever bought brand spanking new

[shropshire dan 467]

Thanks John. I fell in love with it as soon as I handled it lol. It's a beautiful rifle. Have you any experience with the slip on silencers?

 

Do they make a big enough difference to warrant the extra length?

 

Cheers

I would keep the hw silencer on it; it will make a huge difference in the sound omitted.

I'm after a nice hw80k myself .

OK cheers Viz. This thing is truly beautiful. I'm going to run it in and zero it on Tuesday. Going to give it a full tin to run it in. Then see how she performs. Took delivery of various pellets today but got some cheap eley pellets to run in with.

 

Going to see what it's like once run in as it's had a full welsh willy tuning kit fitted if it's not to my liking I want to look at getting it professionally tuned by a gunsmith. Possibly Sandwell field sports as I've heard great reviews of them.

Send it me

 

Super your happy with it. Is it a later model? As in a mk2?

As an extra, you won't need to be sending it anywhere, do it yourself and save 200 quid. Basically.

 

I want an 80y now

[shropshire dan 467]

Cheers mate. I'll see what it's like once run in. how do i know if it's a MK2?

and that was strait out of the box no tuning what so ever

 

sold mine the very next day

 

yours should be out standing with the WW kit fitted

 

Simon (pianoman) will be along soon to tell you just what there capable of mind his is fac air but what a rifle

 

now thats one i would keep (leaving all his rifles to me in his will )

 

pellet on top of pellet at 35 ,,,37mtrs and i stood and watched him do it me little hunter and Philpot

 

i think Simon is a mrk 1 with the full length barrel

 

WHY DID I GET RID SO SOON I HEAR YOU ASK

1 its a brake barrel (bought it on a whim)

 

2 to light for me any way

[shropshire dan 467]

Thanks Mac. I'm even more excited now. I love the vintage look of that stock has a lovely look of age to it. I'll leave the mod on then I think. I've previously had and loved several TX 200's just fancied a change with a decent break barrel. Im going to get it run in and chronographed to see what's happening.

 

I put couple of pellets through it last night in the garden and it sounded like the pellets had a fair crack to them so going to get it tested lol

 

Thanks again

[shropshire dan 467]

How could I tell the approximate age of the rifle?

Kind regards

Dan

My god. Thats gun porn. Look at it... An old full length Mk1 WITH a Simmons 'No f***ing about' duplex optic.

 

Right. Thats it. Gonna get an 80y. For real this time.

 

Probably not... that feeling you get when you see something someone else owns and want it! The woodwork colour... its like treacle.

[bigmac 97kt 13,740]

dAN THIS WAS THE STOCK BEFORE I REFURB IT FOR HIM

 

AND I THINK THE AGE OF THE RIFLE HAS SOME THING TO DO WITH THE SERIAL NO

 

NOT SURE BUT I THINK ITS IN THE NUMBER

 

VIZ WILL BE A LONG SOON TO PUT ME RIGHT LOL

[shropshire dan 467]

Nice one Rez. I was amazed as soon as I handled this rifle. Can't wait to get it out Tuesday for a run in.

 

Got my Daughters football match today otherwise I'd have gone today lol.

[shropshire dan 467]

Fair play Mac. That's a fair job you've done their.

 

How do you tell if their a MK1 or MK2

 

I assume mines a MK2 due to being new
