jrobsm1 5 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 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 Quote Link to post
whistler1 26 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 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.

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 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 macI 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! 1 Quote Link to post

kpr1969 7 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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. Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Just looked up the specs and those weights are correct Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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 2 Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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. 1 Quote Link to post
kpr1969 7 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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. Quote Link to post
gurtwurz 792 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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! Quote Link to post
j j m 6,537 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 well worth getting a tuning kit fitted Quote Link to post
jrobsm1 5 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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 1 Quote Link to post
