Fieldsports 155 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Well after a week of making the wrong decisions !!!! I began with a HW80 a while ago but wanted something a bit more noise free I decided to buy a FX cyclone It was Ok really but after the first day I found it a little long to manoeuvre in and out my little Suzuki Jimny window when Rabbit shooting. The first night I brought it back after a few shots I re filled it with air and low and behold the next morning it was empty. ( leaking ) I had a quick look at it and decided bo**ocks with it, I have not got the time to play around with it. So I bit the bullet and went and bought a New HW100 .177 its nice and short and I have read some good reviews. ( Please tell me they are as good as the reviews make them out to be ) Its shooting 11.4 with Air Arms Diablo field .177 (8.4g) so I am more than happy with that. I am planning on shooting Rabbits about the 40 yard to 45 yard range So here is my new set up. I also have a 9L bottle, stirrup pump and slip. All ready to go once I get some swivells and a sling ! Thanks Steve Edited January 11, 2013 by Fieldsports Quote Link to post

webster 90 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 got 2 80s and a 100 you wont be disappointed , taken crows at 56 yards with the 100 in the past but you need a rangefinder for long shots Quote Link to post
Fieldsports 155 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks lads I appreciate that. 56 yards is a quite a way ! your doing OK there mate.

villaman 9,983 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Nice set up . One of the best PCP out there IMO Quote Link to post
frogspawn 2 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I bought a hw100t a few weeks ago and it is as good as the reports claim,a very good rifle in every way,if you like it half as much as i like mine then you are going to like it a LOT !!!! Quote Link to post
Fieldsports 155 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I am over the moon as it seems like I have AT LAST made a good decision. I am actually just reading about the pellets that this rifle likes. I have been told from a few people and read similar that Air Arms Diabolo Field .177 are a good choice. Hope thats right cos I have just ordered another 1000... I feel another DVD coming on....Maybe Rabbit Shooting Using the HW100 LOL.. Quote Link to post
Ozzyj 2 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Excellent choice sir! It took me three shots through my brothers HW100KT to jump in the car drive to my local RFD and buy a brand new HW100T. Everyone said I was mad not to try others and to buy so quickly but as soon as I shot the Weihrauch I knew it was what I wanted from a gun. 6months later and I have shot more than half a dozen other rifles and found nothing that I would rather shoot. Enjoy, enjoy and then enjoy some more Quote Link to post
