zini 1,939 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Just like to say what a good bloke Phil is to deal with. After he used my new .177 Pro Sport for the past 2 weeks he decided that it was just the right weight and balance for his frame and build and that he really did gel with it shooting some very nice 1 pellet hole size groups with it. He also loves the pretty walnut stock and quality chequering that it bears. Well he wanted to know if i fancied doing a swap plus £50 notes for his new Sandwell Field Sports stage 2 tuned HW97KT as it was just a bit too heavy and didn't fit him as well as the Pro Sport does. Being a huge fan of the 97 and SFS i obviously said yes, so I'm now the proud owner of this beautiful .177 springer which is doing a run in 10.5 FPE after 600 pellets. Good to do business with Phil face 2 face like we did today. A good honest and nice bloke to deal with and comes highly recommended from me for anyone he deals with in the future. We both are very happy with our new rifles. Si. 3 Quote Link to post

Mawders 595 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hope you enjoy it mate! By far the sweetest thing I've ever fired! The rifle just didn't click with me and boy did I try. The pro sport on the other hand always floated my boat till I had a bad rifle. Glad to report this ones working well. The rifles just to my liking and seems to fit me better. Just need to get reacquainted with her now and start hitting the vermin/hft with her! Top bloke Si but everyone already knows that. I'll miss that 97 but the pro sport will soon have me forgetting her! Cheers mate Phil 2 Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 vermin hunters tv .. stage 2 tuned hw97kt .. comparison .177 vs .22 get a vid up haha! lol great matching pair now that you got there Si 2 Quote Link to post
A1WOC 212 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Nice one Si, how long before you stain the stock to match your .22 HW97? Regards, Steve Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 That's something that I've already thought about doing Skot. Well not a comparison at the moment but a review of it. It wouldn't be fair to compare it against my .22 HW97KT mate with all the pellets I've fired through it (a guessed over 9000). The .22 is very well bedded in and after Davy dropped it to 10.16 FPE its silky smooth to cock and shoot. It will keep up with my HW100KT every day of the week. Maybe in another 6 months to a year ill do the comparison mate once the rifle is totally settled and fired a lot more pellets. 1 Quote Link to post

They are lovely rifles; you must have been very unlucky with the two that you had Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah this ones not suffering from the same problems. Havnt really had the chance to really get out with the pro sport. Only a quick trip to the range but she shot some mighty fine groups. Am I a shallow person that I only go for looks and not what's on the inside lol ;-) 1 Quote Link to post
