I'd Like A Second Rifle

[Jonjon79 13,358]

Mines a .177. I use a Hawke Airmax 4-16x50 sf amx. Nice clear glass and a nice fine reticle.

 

It also works really well my NV kit.

Get an HW100 in .22, you have the .177, get it's bigger brother!

cant argue with that mole

 

spot on

 

atvbjimmy :thumbs:

 

 

The more and more I think about it the more I think this is a good idea.

 

 

I have a Nikko Sterling Panax 4.5-14x50 AO IR on my .177

 

I fancy something with a maybe a bit more magnification - like the look of the Nikko long range panamax.

 

What you guys got you on HW100s?

 

 

There ball bags. Assuming you meant what have they got on there HW100's.

Sorry I did.

Like the look off the Hawke air max. Will give them a look. Do you have the side focus wheel?

 

NV interests me too. Might need to invest in that too.

Yes mate, they come with it.

 

But, if you something a bit posher, Rowan Engineering are well worth a look.

[khutula 10]

That looks great. Thanks for pic

 

Will look up Rowan.

I really like the look of that Hawke.

[khutula 10]

Maybe I should rename this topic am I mad to buy another HW100 :-)

 

or should I say become more of a tw@t

[villaman 9,983]

Thanks for all the replies.

 

Sorry for not getting involved in the banter last night but I didn't get any notification that there had been any replies. Must be as I haven't posted enough yet.

 

Addict - yes.

 

Twat - certainly.

 

Fancy something else for sure.

 

I do like the simplicity of the HW100 so I'm not sure about the springer.

 

So nobody says the BSA R10.

 

Would I be a super twat to get two Hw100s?

 

Does anybody have both a .177 and .22?

By the way welcome to this great forum .

Yes i have both and both are spot on . Probably the best PCP made IMO and i have had Two BSA r10's as well , lovely looking gun , good shot count ,and very accurate but i found them not to be a very pointable gun ,great of a bi-pod though .

Have a look at a BSA ultra a very nice gun and even better after a reg has been fitted , XTX Air or Carl at airtech will do a spot on job on them and they will shoot far better than a standard BSA r10 and works out cheaper as well

For a springer you will not go wrong with HW or AA guns , something like HW 99 , HW95 ,HW 97 HW or AA Prosport or TX200 , best to go and try all the guns and see which one fits you and feel comfortable with.

Whatever you do , DO NOT GO DOWN THE DAYSTATE ROUTE ,OVERPRICED ,OVERRATED CRAP and that is not just my opinion but many others too

[khutula 10]

Thanks mate for the replies and many thanks for the welcome.

 

Really like the look of the ultra that's for sure.

 

think I'd like to get a bipod for my HW100 - looks like I need to change the screw - looks fairly simple - perhaps even I could do it :-)

 

Will steer clear of the daystate - noted.

 

I think I've made my mind up though. Just need time to go to the RFD.

 

Fancy a decent scope too. Although I do like my Nikko.

Like vm said the 100s are a good bit of kit

I've got a 177 and 22 both full size t's

If had to get rid of one it would be the 177!!

The 22 is ace with lamps at night and great for tree work:)

I have the carbine.177 was going to get the same but in a .22

 

Fancy getting a lamp or some NV for rabbits really.

 

What scopes have you got on your rifles Si?

I've just changed them recently, my eyes are a bit crap for super fine recticals!

I've got a £50 hawke vantage on one which is ace for the money it's 3x9 which is adequate for me and a 4x16 sf vantage that's

Also a good one but cost a fair bit more!

Everyone has different preferences, I've had really expensive ones and got shot cos can't get on with them!

My advice is go in and play about with then, take them outside into the street for a test first, I've bought blind off the net and been well pissed off!

Happy shopping

Have a look at Hawke Airmax scope ,i find them a great scope but once again have a look through a few ,what might be ok for me ,it might not be ok for you

I'd fully second that. Mines only a 2-7x32, but there so good, I've got three.

I had a good look before I bought this one.

 

Will definitely take that advice though and. It buy blindly of the web.

 

I know my RFD has a decent range of scopes available.
