Nah.. They used one in the gun shop when I bought my hw99 and the zero was no where near point of impact. I use a blank sheet of paper at about 10m, shot once and then shoot for the hole. then just move target to desired zero distance.

With pcp you also have the advantage of more shots per fill in .22, I also find my hw99s in .177 is a lot more lively to shoot than the same in .22. There is also the difference in cost of pellets but I usually buy premium pellets so money saving on ammo never comes in to it and I never shoot cheap ammo for plinking. I am using superdomes in the .22 and Defiant HFT in .177 ( which I find superb)

Nice link for the zero targets tyvm

I would think over £800, but not suprised if it mad a lot more, very rare and very collectable. Just had another look at photos, must be a couple of grand

agree with the expert, mr pianoman, I had to twist my objective bell on my non AO hawke 3-9x40 to get it focused at 20m, before I did this I could have target OR crosshairs in focus, but not both. BTW it took a fair bit of effort to get the end unscrewing for the first time

What pellets did you use. It can be the most important part of the whole outfit. I have just got the right ones for my rifles and it is a revelation. I have a custom bulk fill smk xs78 in .22 that was shooting like a shotgun till I tried RWS Superdomes, It now one holes 5 shots at 20m all the time. I use 4.52 defiant hft in my hw 99s and they are super accurate.

In the light of recent events. I would say the states need some form of gun control. You may feel different if it was one of your babies butchered.

Also as you get older the larger ,22 ,25 pellets are easier to see

As stated above, this link is over 7 years old, dont think we need any scaremongering to add to the general confusion over what MAY happen in Scotland. It may even be that registering or licencing air weapons may keep them out of the hands of the yobs and idiots that create all the bad press. But that is a different kettle of fish that may be best left alone

Congrats. I only got the usual slippers, smellies and a nice single malt (the glenlivet) but I still kin love my missus also What a woman, cooked full monte for 12 and looked fab while doing it. HOW? I cant even rub my head and pat my stomach at the same time. Happy Christmas all, especially to those fab wives/mums who work so hard all day

Go on you little tinker, and yes this has been asked once or twice For my penneth's worth,, .22 is smoother in a springer, more energy downrange, less chance of over penetration, so safer if shooting pests indoors ( less chance of damage to rooves in barns) .177 flatter trajectory so easier to estimate holdover, usual caliber used at ft/hft. there are many many other reasons to choose a calibre, not to mention .20 and .25. .20 may be the perfect choice as ammunition quality gets better. Happy Christmas

Just read this on another forum A user on another forum with the user name airgunner 400 and an e mail of james_brown124@aol.co.uk. was selling an Air Arms 400 and a set of Swaro binos. He was less than genuine shall we say and has been deleted. If a seller is using this e mail or user name beware and take precautions before parting with any money. It's suggested that you only deal face to face with him, if at all. Sounds like our man again

Here is my motly collection as signature HW99s .177 tasco 4-14x50AO SMK XS78 Custom Porky Yorky Special Hawke 3-9x40 FWB Model 2 co2 .177 Beeman P17 webley 1.5x15 .177 Webley Hurricane .22 English Walnut grips

as above, also nikko do some reasonably priced scopes. I have the cheapest 3-9x40 hawke and the optics are very clear and bright, just wish I had paid the extra for AO, I think having adjustable objective or side wheel is very important at the close ranges we use aitguns at.
