Thinking of changing

[philmcd831 4]

Hoping for some advise I bought my hw97k brand new around 6-7 months ago and I'm thinking of changing to a pcp

My rifle and scope set me back just under £500 but if I trade it in I'm not sure what to expect any ideas

I would sell privately mate and advertise on this forum. Trading in at my local RFD is a waste of time, the trade in values are stupidly low. Put it on here and advertise for a trade, somebody out there is always after a decent springer and will swap there pcp. I did that and got myself a sweet immaculate s10 from these very forums for my tx200 which was 1 month old!

£275?-£290 at most. As Mawders says best list as a swap.

I might be interested...what calibre is it?

[philmcd831 4]

Only problem is I'm from n.ireland unless there is anyone from here that would be willing to swap I know a couple of dealers that would sort it out

It's a .22 and an fac was told she should be shooting 18ftlbs

Only reason I would swap is everyone seems to be using pcp

Are pcp's a lot easier to shoot , I am quiet good with the hw 97 but no chance of putting 5 or 6 pellet in a grouping the size of a 10 p at 25 yards lol ( only think I'm quiet good Llf ) might get 3-4

[Mawders 595]

The fact it's FAC and your your location changes things considerably, in that case I would trade to dealer mate. Maybe go for a rapid of some description if FAC is your thing!

[milegajo 595]

Ahh yes, that does change things unless you slip in a sub 12ft/lbs tuning kit, but then you have to weigh up whether the added expense is worth it. I think so, as a vortek kit is £40-£50 dependant on which seal you choose, and a tuned rifle is far more desirable than the standard, that said, there are no guarantees! Possibly best to sell privately on a website that caters for FAC's...
