zini 1,939 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I think this year is going to be the year of the HW98 making it big time on the scene. Out the box they are accurate as I found out when shooting Robs un-tuned one when he first got it, but tuned they are incredible rifles. Well its goes to show when you score 51 with a recoilless .177 BSA Ultra SE which is so so accurate, but score 54 with a tuned SFS HW98 (all witnessed too by a member on here). How many of us can actually honestly say that they have a springer that will match or better their pcp? 1 Quote Link to post
fry 209 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 just out of interest what does mr wall charge for the full works tune up to a 98? Quote Link to post
Elliott 436 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 just out of interest what does mr wall charge for the full works tune up to a 98? I think it's about 60 odd quid fry. A ln absolute bargain by all accounts and I bet you'd get it cheaper if you bought the gun from him too Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Wonder if he'd do a tune up on a Theoben Sirocco? My old girl really needs some TLC! Not sure there's much you can do with a gas ram though. Quote Link to post
Kgbmark 54 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 just out of interest what does mr wall charge for the full works tune up to a 98? £85 for the stage 1 tune or £464 for the tuned rifle ......... or it was 5 weeks ago when I ordered mine. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yep tunes have gone up a bit to around £ or £85 as demand is very high and staff there are spending all their time tuning. When you think a S1 tune will take plus of 3 to 4 hours to do then parts on top. £85 is a steel for what you get back. 1 Quote Link to post
risingfriend 1,042 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Mine should be here on tuesday along with gaz 177s 1 Quote Link to post
fry 209 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 yeah that does seem good value. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 So you both bringing the new 98s to the meet Aaron? 4 SFS tuned HW98s all in comp would make for some brilliant footage. Would be good to do a mini interview with you both on your thoughts on the new springers. Ive thought about bringing my .22 97kt, .177 98 and .22 Spectre so that people can try them if they want. Maybe still people that are thinking of buying a SFS springer but not 100% sure which one. If you could bring your .177 97kt too it would make a great range. 1 Quote Link to post

John Enyedi 6 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 i got my imp last week beautiful rifle hard to believe its a springer its more like a pcp recoilless without a doubt the best springer ive ever had and tony is a tuning god and one hell of a nice guy, a quick visit ends up being hours long and the banter between tony and sol cracks you up, such a friendly bunch always offered a cuppa as soon as i get there. sfs is the only gun shop i will ever use 3 Quote Link to post
