PeskyWabbits 464 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 If you are going to fit a torch, measure the scope tube, as once it is mounted up, you may not have room for the torch mount. I would be tempted to visit a gun club as you can see the scopes on the rifles and chat to the owners. Plus they will give you real life scenarios of using them. It isn't quite the same from a shelf in a gun shop. As regards the second gun. Sticking with the HW100 is wise (though maybe not as exciting as something else) as each different gun dilutes your skill - different weight, hold style, power?, aim points etc. But if you get a spring/gas ram gun, it would always be ready for action. In the event of empty air tank, or pump in need of seals. Just make sure it is a quality item, then you will keep it for a lifetime with no regrets. Best regards Quote Link to post
