Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 One of the best springers in the world. 3 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Highly, very highly recommended. Get it tuned and cleaned up internally and you won't regret it. If you can't arsed, get a AA. The weight may be a shock and put you off at first but give it time and it'll improve your shooting no end. 2 Quote Link to post
Coypu Hunter 486 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 In .177 with a FAC V-Mach kit it's capable of 6-7mm groups at 33 yards, 10-12mm at 45 yards, 20mm at 65 yards. If you're planning to use it for hunting though, be aware that it weighs a ton! Try before you buy, as with any rifle, even if it's only shouldering the gun. Alternatives would include the AA TX200, which is allegedly as good straight out of the box as a 97 after it's been fettled, but I've never owned a TX, so couldn't say. There's also the new Walther LGV (I think it's called) which is also supposed to be super-accurate straight out of the box. Quote Link to post
thursodog 353 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have one for sale. Will put up pics of the tuning work done to it. Seriously accurate gun! Chris 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have a V-Mach in one of mine and a good polish in the other and both shoot the same Quote Link to post
Coypu Hunter 486 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 The V-Mach's a good kit, and easy to fit -- you don't need a spring compressor. Quote Link to post
Jake w 232 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Cheerw for info lads much appreciated Quote Link to post
jw74 27 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I've got one in .22 and it was spot on before a tune.now its had the internals polished etc and a delrin spring guide its awesome! It'll put pellets through the same hole every time.I never thought I'd say it but its as accurate as my s400!they're quite heavy until you're used to it but I've put a sling on mine.I absolutely love this rifle.jw Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,806 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Crono it after fitting any kit mate as it often puts it over the top , i put a vmach in mine and it went up to 13 and a half . you will have to tinker on a bit to get her down but if you do fit a kit put two tins of pellets through her to see if she comes down mine is fitted with a welsh willy trigger and a vmach kit atvbmac :thumbs: 3 Quote Link to post
