Hw 97Kt

[jrobsm1 5]

The drop in tuning kits do make a difference,think i have tryed them all lol.Thair is a difference between a SFS stage 2 tune.

My 97 is as accurate as my xtx tuned ultra.Never thought i would say that about a springer.5 yrs with a pcp,until a couple of months ago,when i got my 97.It twanged and kicked,was a little disapointed to say the least.It is hard to beleave this is the same gun.Dont need a pcp anymore.No more leaks and dive cylinder filling for me

snap I had the bottle to fill like but I just wanted to try something different so here we are

Dont get me wrong.I am not all of a sudden anti PCP.I know me to well,i will end up buying another pcp one day.The only difference being i wont be selling a gun to finance another....my SFS HW97kt will be going know whare.

My 97k has a v mach kit fitted it has smoothed it out a bit but still has a kick iv never fired a sfs tuned rifle but hope to shoot si,s(zini) at the meet then ill may have mine tuned to atvbmac :thumbs:

You will love the feel of the sfs s2 97's mac

I thought my 97 was brilliant with vmach kit in.. then i fired a few sfs 97s ( s1 & s2) and a 98 and a spectre (95)

And wurzs 4Q ...and oh my days my 97 didnt even compare.

It felt like a dog log compared to the PROPERLY TUNED rifles i had been shooting!

somebody told me the 97kt is quite a heavy gun.

not heard anybody make any mention of that fact, so is it true it weighs the same as the HW100s

[Daz39 962]

No. The 97 is heavier. About 400g or so if I recall the data 3.8kg for the 100 and 4.2kg for the 97 but sure you could google the tech specs without too much issue.

[Daz39 962]

Just looked up the specs and those weights are correct

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

So what if its heavy??

 

that's a good thing in a springer helps reduce muzzle flip and absorbs some of the recoil. ultimately aiding accurcy

[Daz39 962]

Skot's right, the weight comes in handy if you get into close quater battles with bugs too, one quick crack round the head with the butt and he's sparko.

[kpr1969 7]

ok ok, its just something I had never heard anybody mention.

I was tempted to buy one I seen for sale on one of the other forums and mentioned it to a mate.

Thats when he told me about the weight.

[gurtwurz 792]

Don't worry about the weight mate, the heavier a springer, the better it'll shoot. Chuck a sling on if youre gonna be lugging it about all day. My 4Q weighs 14lbs with a scope on, and I can mooch about all day with it. And I've got proper noodle arms!

well worth getting a tuning kit fitted

[jrobsm1 5]

there is abit of weight to it but a good springer is a heavy solid one not one that rattles about all hw are heavy ive never held a light one but there by far the best springer out there
