Grayling 56 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I would say HW100 without question an excellent piece of kit worth every penny and top German quality to boot, the best hunting PCP made IMHO. I would suggest though that you get over to your nearest HFT club and try out the various different rifles and see for yourself first hand. You'll find that is the best way to see what is the best rifle for you, by trying all of them. Then you can make an informed choice from your own personal experience and not the likes/dislikes of others. Quote Link to post
andynemma 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hello all, ive shot a rapid 17 for 7 years now and it has shot consistently at 11.5 ft lbs. (Never serviced) Dont know if this is unusual for a Theoben or i just happened to get a really reliable one. All i can say is i'll never change it. Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Mole, hull cartridge won't trade in the cylinder mate. i phoned and asked them.when i had my old hw 100 t last year. Quote Link to post
Footu 1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I use aa 410tdr. Is pretamper so many years old, bought second hand and I can hit 50p easily at 40 yards. Well happy with that. Use an ex firemans tank as its much lighter than a dive bottle and it's 2.5 years still on its first fill. Only use the gun to hunt so if I go out, take 3-5 shots and come home with a couple of bunnies jobs a good un. I keep the tank in my wardrobe. Quote Link to post
salop sniper 32 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Get a Daystate Huntsman classic in .177,.20 or .22 and be sorted sor a very long time. Mor intital out lay but it will be money saved by the time you have bought others insted and kept swapping and losing money ! Daystate all the way, great product and great support. Also paired with a MTC scope you will have a brillient tool for both pest control and target shooting ! ATB Matt Quote Link to post

whippetmad 11 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 there is no doubt in my mind o wpuld chose the hw over the webley raider i used to have the raider ten shot rum made was a good rifle but my grandad gave me the hw 100 carbine in 1.77 and its a dream to shoot its a touch heavy but is a superb gun all the best Quote Link to post
Howie54 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I would go for the HW100 before the Webley. The HW is a great gun alternatively go for a Air Arms S400 or 410 get to a shop or club and try them for fit before you buy. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think i would defo go for the HW100 over the Webley. Not played with the new Raider 10 yet but know the HW100 is fabulous. For £750 - ish the HW100 as it all doesn't it? Excellent magazine system, good shot count, great looks, accurate as any Daystate hunting rifle on the market and well balanced. 1 Quote Link to post

Spiro Spiteri 1 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 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 charge, you can send it to mr Bowkett, and for a few pounds he will make it as good, if not better than the best pcp money can buy. Just as a lasting thought, you can probably tell by my name that my ansestry isn't British, but when I was taught to shoot from a very early age, I was always taught to buy British if its in the budget, there are lots of reasons for this which we won't go into, but I've carried it with me through all 20+ years of shooting. Support our economy lads, after all we live here. ;-) 1 Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 R10s are ok, but IMO, ain't as good as the 100. I know three wo boys local who had a lot of problems with them. However one had it bowketed after just 2-3months of it being new, total was 215 quid inc delivery. It was ten times better , two of the three r10s were mk2s , one a mk1 with mk2 internals.

Bendover 67 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Mines a .177 BSA scultra and it never misses a beat, so accurate it's almost too easy with it. Is VERY light too so imo a perfect hunting rifle Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 The new ultras are scultra if u ask me Quote Link to post
Bendover 67 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 The new ultras are scultra if u ask me I didn't but of course it is! The se wasnt around when i had mine built but i love it to bits. Love you like a brother son Quote Link to post
