Will be curious to see these and how you find them!

Phil, am just waiting for people to get the NV-019`s in stock again before I order mine. But I will want to add an external IR (T38 as I already have it) as you have done but cant find that bit of rail with the tripod fitting...... Any chance of a link to where you found yours ? ATB Matt

Simon,Mark do you wash and lube your pellets or use them straight from the tin ?

Sub 12ftlb for anything my personal preference is .177 with any weight ammo followed by .22 with a light pellet. Heavy .22 and .25 + Cal I would leave from for FAC power levels. ATB Matt

A JSB Heavies fan here also. In testing I found that the best pellets in my rifle are either JSB Heavies or light pellets like AA & JSB express. Indoor when I travelled up to Atherton indoor range for some testing the AA express just grabbed it I would say.... but it was so marginal it wasn`t clear cut. What was a surprise though was that no medium weight pellets matched the heavies or express. So I tested out in the paddocks and at range the heavies very slightly nudged ahead. But for me the selling point on the Heavies has been on head shot rabbits and corvids straight on

Each to their own but I had a pair of CZ452`s and was very happy with them although my HMR took over for me as the main work horse so I swapped my .22lr for a FAC .22 Air rifle. My advice would be to go HMR then see if you still need / want the .22lr. Just my opinion though.?

The first thing I did when I got my HW100 (KT) .177 was I bought a A&M cylinder and silencer. I dont know what the shot count was originally but running JSB Heavies at 11.2ftlb it gives me 6 mags before the velocity (fps) starts to drop so 80-85 shots. And none of my set-up has ever let me down. Happy to recommend the A&M products.

I have a SMW Engineering mag for my .177 HW100 and am very happy with it, its the newer version I have and am happy to recommend it. Works fine and is easier to find in the dark if you drop it also cheap enough to replace if needed ! ATB Matt

T38 is what I use on my HW100KT and its great. I spot with a T50 and I no longer use my Night master !

As above really, I have seen a few but they are places like Kent and Scotland which is not much use for what I want. I want to find someone who I can drive too in and hour or hour and a half tops so they can size / measure up, I am in Shropshire. Its for my HW100KT and I find the palm grip too small in an ideal world and also the length of pull on the trigger, I would like an extra 10-15mm reach for the trigger from my hand. I also dont want to have a big belly on the front of it making a hampster, a stock very similar in shape to the standard stock but laminate is what am looking at. Che

Mitch, my shooting buddy just had his HW101 worked on by Phil @ The Ratworks. Main things though are his cylinder mod and a tench reg in it. He also has a HW100kt for hunting that has an A&M cylinder on it so we will see how they both fair. My HW100kt has A&M Cylinder and Silencer on that am very happy with. The final touch will be a stock that suits my hand size. ATB Matt

Gotta say I love my HW100KT (.177) too, the only thing I would change would be my stock, I want a bigger palm swell/hand grip and set a little further back from the trigger ! other than that no issues at all, love it. Bangs out JSB Heavies accurately and very well all day long and does everything I ask of it ! So 2018 may see me get a custom stock for it, just gotta decide who to use next and get a price. Am in no rush so I can take my time and get it right. ATB Matt

T38 for all my airgun stuff ! More than enough for the job.

Nice link there VM, good test and great display of results ! Cheers for that ATB Matt
