Adampie8432 689 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Hi guys I'm thinking of purchasing a good springer for pest control. Any recommendations on which one too buy? I'm looking for something powerful, accurate and as quiet as possible. Cheers atb Adam Quote Link to post
Deker 2,882 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 something powerful, accurate and as quiet as possible. I'm a bit out of touch with Springers these days but I'm sure someone will come along...... POWERFUL, are you talking FAC?, otherwise many are near to the limit of 12ft lb, or can be adjusted there, but that's your lot! 1 Quote Link to post

Dervburner 2,317 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Depends how much you want to spend Adam, HW99S is a sound buy for the money. 3 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,585 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 99 will certainly do the job at Sub12 same with 95 if it’s FAC then the eighty would be the one to have 2 Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,488 Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Hw 97k (sporter stock) or a kt (thumb hole) In any cal but be warned Most need a tune out of the box Unless bought second had And they are a bit on the heavy side But one of the best out there Pro sport in any cal one of the best to And very accurate out of the box No tuning needed But both the 97 and prosport Will cost you a bit of money if bought new Hw 99 in any cal 177 is a bit snappy out of the box And could do with a tune but once done it's a dream to shoot 22 is OK out of the box But could still do with a little polish And the best part of this rifle is the cost Very cheap rifle at just over 200 notes new Hope this helps Atvbjimmy, 2 Quote Link to post

Atb Adam After shooting the 99 iv got to say it would take first place But take nothing away from the 95 mind For the money and what you get It would have to be the 99 Atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post
