milegajo 595 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I bought a synthetic 97 a year ago or so and not only was the balance not to my liking, but the hollow stock resonated a 'ping' after every shot. Weird! Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yes, i have also read there is more recoil, will be interesting to see if there is any difference when a wooden stock i put on. Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 as far as i remember my 97kt synthetic was a pretty beastly recoiling rifle compared to my hw97kt wood i have now which isnt too bad (both .177 cal. doing about 11.1 with jsb exact 8.44gr) my hw97k .22 i just got back from lending to my mate is much easier to cock and hardly recoils!! after i strippped and re lubed it before lending him it. hes probabaly put about 100 shots through it since, judging by the pellets i lent him SKoT Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 .177 will recoil alot more than .22. The 97 in synthetic isn't to my liking either, I shouldered one and fired it and also heard that strange ping sound coming from the stock. I've never been a fan of the plastic stocks tbh! Be interesting to see your 97 in a 77 stock, I didn't realise you could swap them over that easily. Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 i think the nickel plated 97 in a hw77 sporrter would look... BLING!! any 97 orr 77 just goes straight on to any 97 or 77 action Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Well here it is in its new stock, looks and feels better in my opinion. Atb. 1 Quote Link to post
