Tex 8 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 your comments and experiences please, cosidering a purchase, but would like the thoughts of owners or alternative suggestion. Thanks Quote Link to post
Mr Mcgoo 18 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I've had one and got rid 2 weeks later. Not well balanced ie front heavy oh and loud. If you do decide on one go for FSB and silenced. Good points it was accurate to be fair and shot count was quite high! Hope that helps, some people love them and it may suit your shooting style? Go and hold one first see what you think Edited May 6, 2014 by Mr Mcgoo 1 Quote Link to post
Mr Mcgoo 18 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 My old r10 177, got a hw100kt after that. Now on the s400 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I had one , not balanced , not a very pointable gun ,action a bit load , great of a bi-pod but sold it to a mate ,then he sold it after shooting my HW100kt and bought a HW100kt . You might be better off getting a second hand one , then send it off to XTX AIR for a tune , barrel cut down with a Hubb shroud the whole lot makes it a far better gun imo In my opinion you would have a job to beat a HW100kt Edited May 6, 2014 by villaman 2 Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Never even shot an r-10 .. but i would reccomend a hw100kt. Quote Link to post
risingfriend 1,042 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 My brother had an R10 beauty in the looks department but lacking in others as above hw100 all day 2 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Nice. Not available in left hand and won't be until October this year I hear. I wanted one myself until I came across my 98. 1 Quote Link to post
Tex 8 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Well thanks all, my other thought was the HW100kt,which you have confirmed is a beauty and why I titled the topic BSA R10 to see what R10 owners thought, Is the lower shot count and extra £100 or so worth it? Still i suppose if i'm prepared to spend £700 another ton for the right weapon doesn't sound too bad but then add a moderator and a new scope and mounts and suddenly my budgets getting blown. I really wanted to keep my Scorpion se but maybe part-ex would be the way to go (can't shoot two at a time anyway) and i've never had an "out of the box" rifle as i have always bought secondhand but looking to treat myself. Had I titled this topic HW100kt I'd be here until Christmas reading replies Thanks again for your advice Happy hunting, Tex Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 My .22 hw100kt gets 92 full power shots at 11.4 ftlb s mate. Thats 6 full mags and 8 shots to check zero. Get 2 mags with it and a silencer aswel. Honestly i cant think of a pcp i would prefer. Not even a legendary theoben rapid. And the thumbhole stock is fully ambidextrous and even as a left hander reloading on the right is a piece of cake . Mine was £755 brand new but prices do vary. If i only had one rifle it would be this one. 1 Quote Link to post
Mr Mcgoo 18 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I had the kt in 177 with a and m cylinder. Got 85 full power shots. Very point able, quiet balanced and deadly accurate. This rifle is clinical best way to put it and I'll be getting another one day. Although I now have an air arms that I love, the hw100 would match any air rifle on the market today, engineering quality is second to none 1 Quote Link to post
Tex 8 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I knew it came with the 2 mags. but not the mod aswell, .22 kt it is then. Big thank you guys. I will look for a good deal near to me. Any thoughts as to what flavour pellets? My BSA likes RWS Superdomes Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 My hw100kt .22 likes air arms and jsb exacts best. 1 Quote Link to post

I will look for a good deal near to me. Any thoughts as to what flavour pellets? My BSA likes RWS Superdomes Falcon accuracy plus 13.4 gr , Crossman premier ultra 14.3gr , Daystate li same pellet, rws superfields 15.9gr ,AA fields 16gr . Crossman's in my HW100kt gives out more FT/lb than any other .22 pellet ,Give them a go. Falcons are all so another good pellet running at 620-625 fps about 11.4- 11.5 FT/LB 1 Quote Link to post
