villaman 9,983 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Right here is my take on it for what its worth , yes they are good guns special the older ones but what you have to remember is the was built for the FAC market . I will probably get slaughtered for this ,but IMO there is better spring gun than the in sub 12 specially in .177 and even .22 ,example would be HW77 or 97 and we all know how good they are , HW 95 the baby , HW 99 , AA prosport and the AA tx. Personally I think there is this romantic element about owing a HW80 and I can see that with the early ones 1 Quote Link to post

Rez 4,961 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Your right v'man, there is a romantic thought to be had about owning an . When they've been around as long as we have, its like legendary status, the 77 as you mention has just that. And the old rapids. Its the shit we all grew up reading about in Airgunner. Being older and being able to get one, is well, pretty sound... living the dream Afterall, its were it all starts with airguns, being young, bashing starlings with a shit B2, just wishing the old man would buy you that 77/80/Rapid... "Put that down boy!" HW80 in .22 in my signature... All day. And will happen. Dunno when though. 1 Quote Link to post
thursodog 353 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've a fully glided/tuned which shoots scarily good. It's not a looker but has absolutely everything done. Shoots extremely accurately due to the amount of tuning work done. Comes with a Nikko sterling scope. £180 posted. There is no more tuning work that can be done to this gun Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,561 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) I let go of my memories and sentimental thoughts letting go of my FWB Sport as part ex towards my HW 100 kt, do i regret it ? "Hell no" ! .177 springer ? Lads i am struggling big time to put my T-Rex 200 HC mk 3 down. My confidence is sky high with this springer and boy is she accurate and hard hitting. Superb spring rifle . Each to their own, i`ve shot the in .22 at my range and also the 77 but for me they cant live with the T-Rex, it fits me like a glove. I have noticed the Pro Sport .177 on these forums giving some great results also. Good luck Edited September 24, 2015 by mark williams 2 Quote Link to post

threelander 81 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 no difference what so ever and if there was going to be a difference it would just be a softer mainspring to take the power down a bit Quote Link to post
