[treecreeper 1,136]

 

 

 

Found superdomes spot on for HW97k .22 and will be pellet testing this weekend for the HW97 k .177

Hello mate do u wanna put your results on here after the pellet tests, mine isn't bedded in yet like so the accuracy is probably gunna improve anyway.

 

i shoot the superdomes in my vmac kitted 97k in .22. it likes the falcon accuracy plus aswell and they shoot a mil dot up at 40 yards but the skirts are abit prone to flattening

 

Same here with the falcons

 

3 quid dearer too not that im tight

[thursodog 353]

Every man and his dog on here has a hw97

Very nice rifles glad your happy with it..

Which calibre is it-?? My .177 likes jsb exact 4.52mm

SKoT

I have a brand spanking kt with a simmons wtc heading to me next week and bought

Some jsbs .177 to try. Its getting a SFS tuning kit and a button or 2 fitted. Can't bloody wait.

i have the same model i love it my one likes rws superdomes do you no what the k means

The "k" stands for karbine as far as I'm aware.

 

ts a German rifle and its stands fot "Kurz" What means "short". For example: there's a HW77k (the short version) en the normal HW77 (there's also a long 77 version). HW97 is always a K, no long versons of it..

Mine loves jsb exacts at 4.52 i bought the same as you and could get on with the plastic thumbhole.

Here it is now ive also had it tuned by tony wall at sandwell field sports. Deffo worth the 75 sheets i shoot this more now over my r10.

I bought the same as you nathen but sent it away to sandwell for a stage 2 tune. Got the call yesterday that it's ready to go but can't get it until next Friday (gutted),be interesting to try a few of the pellet suggestions on here.

JSB Exacts and AA field in mine I think, work still in progress not given accupells yet or several other top makes.

Hello mate I'm thinking about sending my baby off for a stage 2 by tony, have you done the same to yours and if so is it worth the £160 (inc delivery). I'm just looking to take some of the recoil out and to soften the second stage of the trigger.

 

Mine has been stage 1 by Tony at it is great, thinking of having stage 2 done not sure yet.

Great choice of rifle mate and would reccomend a stage 2 tune well worth the money mate it will transform a good rifle into a fantastic rifle

Edit to add:

Mine has a Sandwell Field Sports tuning kit and spring set up by Tony Wall and installed by AndyFR1968 ...Fabulous rifle; I love it.

I have 2 tins of FTT in 4.50 to try, and 4 tins of 4.52 JSB exact as my main supply

Ive also got a tin of RWS Superdome aswell but there mainly going to be plinkers to re-bed my rifle in, after I put my spring back in after Davy shortened my spring.

Tthen it will be the full blown accuracy test between the FTT and JSB!!

hope the weathers better tomorrow been horrid in BFD last few days, or it will have to wait until next weekend

Hi mate from what i recall from the phone call i had when i ordered mine. stage one involves a new better quality spring, lubes and hand fettling etc, the stage two involves replacement parts such as piston seals. washer spring guides to match the springs for each individual rifle, i believe something is fitted to the rear of the action to reduce recoil etc trigger stripped polished etc. if your are interested you could phone him and he will tell you all you need to know im not very technical so probably not the best answer and im sure someone more experienced than me will give you a definitive answer but all i know its a pleasure to shoot when i do my bit.

My 97k loves the JSB Heavy's 10.3 grain, reasonable flat trajectory and it kill's the odd rabbit even at 65 yards

My .22 SFS S2 HW97KT is accurate with H & F FTT at 5.53 mm

 

Other pellet brands that i also find good in the .22 is Webley Accupells.

 

My .177 SFS S2 HW97KT is accurate with AA Fields at 4.52 mm and Webley Accupells.

 

As your rifle beds in the barrel may like different pellet brands. Power will change accuracy in a barrel with certain pellets brands.

 

You may find that a lower power likes a softer skirt. I would defo give Falcon AP a try once your rifle is bedded in.

 

A little bird tells me that the SFS S3 will not be long out now. I think its going to be called the FT3.

 

There isn't anything massively different from a S2 apart from 1 part (which is a material change of the fixed spring guide, so don't worry S2 lads). It was a experiment Tony tried which has worked very well and killed the recoil even more .

 

The bloke who as the first trial HW97KT and is testing it sent me this message yesterday on FB

 

"I've just collected my 97 kt from sfs, Tony's had it for 8 weeks. It went in for a stage 2, but tony just said," I've got something special for you." "It's the first stage 3 or ft3 as it'll be known". I had a few shots upstairs, and the difference over how it was before is staggering. I'll be keeping him updated on how it's bedding in, and hopefully it'll be a good un. I'll keep you posted. Cheers for putting me on to Tony's work anyway.
Regards, Justin".

 

A lot is happening at SFS at the moment and Tony as some really great ideas that he is thinking up to improve his tunes and springers even more.

 

He's got an idea from testing various things and different barrels in his accuracy and tuning trials that he as emailed and is awaiting a answer from Weihrauch.

 

He wants to put together a couple of really special non standard HW springers, (a HW model favored by Pianoman) and get them out on trial.

 

From what he tells me they are going to be something super special with a very accurate barrel and super tuned internals.

 

Lets just wait and see lads.

 

Si.

Can't wait for that one Si
