Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Best break barrel bar none. Most would say the hw80 is. Id say it was before the 98 2 Quote Link to post
lordnelson 8 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 At the moment I can live with it untuned until I get to see someones HW98 that has been tuned and see whether it will be worth the investment. Buy one you won't be disappointed.. 2 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Falcon accuracy plus in my .177 hw98 . Aye that was in the field where it matters never even been to an indoor range. I had a 95k luxus and the stock wasnt for me .. the 98 makes the difference by its adjustable butt and comb for ne. Im a weird shape lol and i shoot left handed. The adjustability on the 98 makes it fit anybody. Amazing. Had a hw97kt both beech and synthetic the beech was a lot nicer to hold especially with the adjustable butt and ambi cheekpiece for us leftys . I do prefer a thumbhole but the 98 is very nicely fitting around the pistol grip so can still hole her consistently shot after shot. Im out now on the permission with the hw100kt and its boringly accurate ! Should have brought a jerry springer lol. Bottom line. Get a 98. No regrets mate amazing rifles . Even untuned it will still be pellet on pellet . Might be twangy or grindy out the box but thats an easy fix if you have a spanner screwdriver hammer pin punch and some wet&dry paper and some moly grease Haha I think I've just become so accustomed to my break barrel springers, I feel like I'm better (and perhaps more challenging) sticking to what I know. Underlevers seem great and I wouldn't mind a Diana sidelever but for my current and previous permissions of waking the woods, minimal movement and quick reloading is something we all appreciate, compared to the privileges of sitting on a field edge hunting rabbits. I think the 98 is a step up from my BSA's and I feel like it's a rifle I could tune up and would make a difference too, did it cost much at SFS? Looks a beautiful stock too, altogether a beautiful rifle. It's a shame you don't see many of these around Thank you for your help White SFS, so I hear from a phone call about mine is £95 @ stage 1. 8 feckin week waiting list though. Quote Link to post
WhiteRabbit 112 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not a bad fee, some reason I expected a little more but 8 weeks? Wouldn't bother me. Probably a silly question, how many times could you tune this before it turns into a FAC? Quote Link to post

Probably a silly question, how many times could you tune this before it turns into a FAC? Hundreds of times or once! Part of the tuning will set the power to what ever is required. 1 Quote Link to post
Mr Mcgoo 18 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Cracking rifles best springer i have shot. Sandwell field sports tuned so very smooth to shoot and can produce 5p groups at 50 yards if i do my bit. Mawders will be along soon to sing their praises aswel Heres a 5 shot group at 50 yards in a slight wind Very impressive for a springer, I've just sold my tx200mk 3, no way I could match that at that range unless it was pcp and very calm. 1 Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Practice and a bit of good luck mate. Couldnt have kept it under a 5p for 10 shot LOL Quote Link to post
