HW100 Troubles......

[Sweeney-Todd 208]

Hi all.

 

Been having a few problems with my HW100 of late

The main problem being the loose barrel, and loss of accuracy.

With the barrel loose I was nearly 2ft to the right at 30yds

After tightening the Barrel TWICE, the rifle appears to have lost its accuracy.

Best groups achievable at 30 yds being an inch.

 

The sound of her has changed too, from a sharp "ting" as the hammer goe's, to a dull "thud"

 

To say I was fed up is an understatment

 

Having spent hour's getting her just right, she pull's a sicky on me

 

Packed up the rifle and went straight to the Sportsmans Gun Centre in Exeter.

I explained the situation to one of the lad's there ( Brilliant Chap ), and we went through the usual possibles of what it could be.

 

In the end, I asked for the rifle to be exchanged, as I did not want to loose my Cannon for 4/6 week's, while in Germany being fettled.

 

Got to say, Sportmans Gun Centre were brilliant, and put a brand new action into my stock, without any excuses or bickering, excellent service and customer care

 

Got the Cannon home, and put the scope, bipod, and sling back on.

 

Next, into the garden to Chrono the new action........ohhhhh me, she is putting out an avg of 581.5ftps using 16gr AA Fields = 12.016ftlbs

Im going to put a couple of tins through her and chrono again, hopfully she may settle down a bit.

 

Although running slighlty hot, she doe's sound very nice

 

May get out tonight and re zero her, fingers crossed all will go well.

 

Would reccomend The Sportmans Gun Centre to anyone, very helpfull and excellent service

Very good to hear that Bill

Its great when you get 5 star after-sales service like that

 

I found out yesterday that if you needed it you could ring HC and as long as you speak nicely to them, they WILL indeed honour the Warrenty

Aparently they will only turn around and say get stuffed if like you you got it via other channels AND then started saying stuff like "Your the importer, its up to you" sort of thing.

 

Enjoy your some more action with your new action

Hiya Tony.

 

 

Cheers mate

 

I dont blame Hull for saying get stuffed if people approach them with attitude.

 

Heard some real horror stories about Hull, poor turn around, scratched rifles and stock's, not had any personal experience of them mind you, so cant confirm.

It is worrying though, kind of put's you off using them when you hear such like from others.

 

Hopefuly, all will be well now buddy.

 

Im looking forward to the action with my new action yes

Hi All.

 

 

Well I went out this morning with the Cannon to re zero.

Got to the range and made ready to shoot.

Not a breath of wind so ideal conditions.

 

Target out at 30yds ( Lazed ).

 

First shot hit the dirt in front of the target ......bugger I thought. I knew it would be slightly adrift but not THAT much.

 

Tried to bring the shot up, and came to the end of the elevation deflection on the adjustment.......bugger again......no tool's with me, wasnt expecting major surgery .

 

So packed up and came home to shim the rear of the scope......with that done, I made my way back to the range.

 

Made ready again, and after setting the elevation and deflection to the centre again, the first shot was ON !!!

few more adjustment's and the Cannon was back to good health

 

The thing I notice most about the new action, is how sweet and crisp it sound's.

 

So.....all done now, apart from swopping 6 tins of AA Fields for RWS Superdomes which the new action loves.

 

Picture of the Range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY DAY'S

Hi Tony.

 

Cheer's mucker

 

She is trying hard to make up for lost bunnies and time

 

Took her back to 60yds.....well impressed with her.

Ran out of time or would have realy put her through her paces

Will take her back to 100yds just for the fun of shooting her.......dont know if Ill hit owt though .....apart from the butt's ......but its all good fun, realy enjoying my shooting at the moment

 

Need to do more with the s200 now....... target wise that is

She deserves a good run out and is also a pleasure to shoot, her beuaty knows no bounds

 

 

 

 

Bill.
