remyd 68 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 hw100 for an extra £100 ! you will not get a better rifle for the money imo Quote Link to post
Ian57 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I was thinking that mate, torn between that and a rapid Quote Link to post
ghillies 209 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 a regged rapid for 12fps.. i can get 450 shots at 11.5 fps in .177 on mine, more with more in the buddy bottle. (300 does nicely on the fill rate for the diver bottle). however, them HW 100's, all i can say is go and try one, nice cocking action and oooo can yu miss? ........nice.(thumb hole stock version). theyre heavy though.

Ian57 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Spoilt for choice bud, think im just gonna have to go down the shop and see what feels most comfortable Quote Link to post
19powell90 89 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I also like the rapids aswell as hw100. Went for hw100 in the end as the quality of it beats anything hands down Scott Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 rapid all the way, quality lasts,been around for a hell of a long time now that itself tells you something Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Have you thought about a AA S410 K or Classic? It's also a super accurate rifle with a good pedigree and a proven track record. If you buy the beech stock version for £549 it will leave you £100 for a nice scope to go with it. Si.

19powell90 89 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 My local sells the s410 for £500 - even better saving Quote Link to post
Ian57 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Cheers for all your comments lads ive decide to save an extra couple of weeks and get the hw100 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nice guns, the carbine is easier to use when hunting, recommend the thumbhole as they north or south paws can use it no problems! I take it you have something to fill it up with.... Quote Link to post
Ian57 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes mate going to get all that sorted, got a local air rifle range so few good lads down there i wa looking at the carbine version think thats what im going to go for, need to go and check outbsone decent scopes aswell Quote Link to post
rossy08 33 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 if you like dragging a dead body round the feild then go for the hw...(my opinion,be for you hack into me.lol). me id get a good s410/s510 secondhand then get it regged and still have money for a scope. rapid's are also very good rifles though.

robwelsh 354 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 i had my daystate huntsman, hawke ev ao scopes and daystate mod second hand. .it was 10 days old thats all, all in all it came up to 920 quid, and i had it for 650 mate, take a look about before just buying first thing you see, as i was going to order the same rifle new, 2 days before but couldnt get the chance cos of work, rang on the 3rd day when i had time, and they said "its your lucky day" because they knew how much i wanted one, bargain if you ask me...

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 The wife picked one up (gun only) for £400 last year, broke her heart when she had to sell it, she discovered she was left eyed and it was a right handed stock! Quote Link to post
