I'm going to throw it out there, why?
Because I can..
No doubt the hw100 is a lovely looking gun and as all hw's I bet it's built to last (I have nothing against hw's, but I've never owned one).
I have however owned a BSA R10 mk2 in .22, I can confirm for a couple of quid less (70'ish) you'll be just as happy with it. Pellet on pellet accuracy out at 35-40 yards out of the box, a friend who has just purchased one is on 10 shots fired (at live quarry) 10 humane 1 shot kills (such potential in the right hands). What's more!!! If you ever get tired of its accuracy and 180 shots per c
