pipa 299 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thinking of getting a springer and like the look of a Theoben evo k 177 Anyone on here use or had one? Chris Quote Link to post
xraiderx 94 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I had one in 22 for a short while nice looking and well built. My first gasram and not to impressed Trigger poor and a fair old crack out of it Swaped for a as new HW97k 22 and miles better even before the SFS tune and £100plus cheaper than the EVO CHEERS GARRICK Quote Link to post
milegajo 595 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 What about the Hw90? Quote Link to post
Daz 7 563 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thinking of getting a springer and like the look of a Theoben evo k 177 Anyone on here use or had one? Chris I've had two Chris bud A Sirroco and a Evo which was the forerunner of the Evo and both in .22 cal I loved them, Nice thump like a Prosport but can leave cocked like a PCP has it's a Gas ram. Trigger not as good as a HW or Airarms but easily get use to it Try to get the New Long series Mod as it tames the Crack. I've seen You shoot so accuracy will be no Problems, Once You get use to the Recoil. atvb Daz 7. Quote Link to post
pipa 299 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I thought the recoil was less with the gas ram daz? I can try before I buy anyway so I might try a 97k aswell a 95k Chris Quote Link to post
Daz 7 563 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) It's Hard to explain the Recoil is faster in a Gas Ram than a Springer so its a very quick thud, So when You get use to it You'll be fine, Had two 97's as well top guns as well. 32 Years of recoiling rifles and one Year with My first ever PCP the YODA GUN. atvb Daz 7 Edited June 17, 2012 by Daz 7 Quote Link to post
pipa 299 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Cheers daz I'll have a good play about with each gun before I buy, but the evo is only £260 which is tempting,,? Chris Edited June 18, 2012 by pipa Quote Link to post
Daz 7 563 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Cheers daz I'll have a good play about with each gun before I buy, but the evo is only £250 which is tempting,,? Chris Flipping Hell that is cheap i was looking at the Evo k in .20 second hand and that was £410 but always wanted a Prosport in .22 so got that for £450 brand New instead. atvb Daz 7.

Mawders 595 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Pipa where are you trying before your buying these rifles? Wish all gun shops had a 20 yard range to try them out. Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 That is cheap fairplay. I had a go of a gas ram webley years back and didn't like it. Then my mate bought a Hw90 gr and I didn't like that either, the recoil or the type of recoil I just don't get on with. I don't think there as quiet as people make out either, the slap they make travels pretty far imo , but they do look lovely guns all the same ..atb Quote Link to post
pipa 299 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Pipa where are you trying before your buying these rifles? Wish all gun shops had a 20 yard range to try them out. Redbeck shooting supplies Wakefield mate, the guns were 2nd hand but you could ask to try new ones on their 30yrd outside range? Anth, paul and chris at redbeck are top lads and have a great set up, great bargains to be had, I tried the evo 177 and a tx200 mk2 in 22....... And bought the tx200...with a decent set of hawke mil dot scopes on at a dirt cheap price. It was an offer no fool could refuse....if you call in tell them chris reccomended you from HTL forum, ATB chris Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I only wish my local shop had a range, it would be real good then. Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 HW90. If you give me a shout we could maybe meet up and you can try mine. Much nicer to shoot than the Evo. I think I'll be over at Redbeck later on this week, Chris. Quote Link to post
pipa 299 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi andy,I didn't try a 90,,but I did Pick a new Hw 95 out of the rack, nicely balanced and pretty light compared to other springers, if there would have been one 2nd hand and karbine I probably would have gone for it as I only had a small budget, After shooting both evo 177!and the tx in 22 i favoured the tx, reason being it was in 22 and the trigger seemed to be a lot better than the evo, + it was in better nick and for £205 scoped???? I had to snap it up there and then mate Chris Quote Link to post
gurtwurz 792 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I had a sirocco at the meet with me that you could've tried chris, but to be honest you've made the right choice already... I had an evo a couple of years ago, but like the sirocco I thought it was too small and too light, and having shot paul's '90 I'd say thats definitely the better gun for a bloke your size, and I should imagine the tx feels just right for you? Nearly as nice as a pro sport, and if it wasn't for the anti bear trap ratchet I'd have got one myself, but it winds me up too much lol cheers, wurz Quote Link to post
