hw97 8 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 i think a hw77 would be a bit heavy for a 13 year old mate Quote Link to post
hiho 5 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 i think a hw77 would be a bit heavy for a 13 year old mate iv used one there not that heavy Quote Link to post
eagle 3 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 HW57 is a very nice weapon to shoot, but you should know that this rifle has a little longer distance from the pistol-grip to the trigger than normal. The loading can be a little troublesome, but there are different opinions here. I do not know if the rifle is powerful enough for your type of hunting. The built quality is very good and the trigger is superb. Quote Link to post

hw97 8 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 what about the cometa fenix 400? i think that would be a good choice for a 13 year old meself like i had the cometa 300s that would be a good 1 for your kid nice an light ask liam (cometa 300s) on here he will prob send you a pic of his 1 but if you do get 1 dont put an ox sping in it Quote Link to post
tote 861 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 i think a hw77 would be a bit heavy for a 13 year old mate iv used one there not that heavy The rifle itself weighs just short of 9lbs, once you've added the mounts and a scope it'll be over 9lbs. I would class that as heavy,especially for a 13 year old. Quote Link to post
Jef66 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I got a HW90k also weighs in about 9+ pounds scoped... they aren't that heavy to pick up, but carry one about all day and thats a different story. And i'm not 13 Quote Link to post
Timelord 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 If the 13 year old in question is serious about a gun then why not go PCP like a falcon light hunter for instance, these a very light to carry about. Quote Link to post
