meg1 55 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm not much off a air gun fanatic more off a ferreting/lurcher man, but do enjoy a bay walking the woods and hedgerows with one off my 2 guns hw100 and rapped17,i converted to them from springers years ago about 10 or more, I recently bought a HW 97 blackline stainless in 22 really to introduce my son from a junior gun, I completely forgot the joy and fun and simplicity and capability off a good springer I'm converted back it's now my favourite bit of kit. 7 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,811 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Since no one wants to comment on your post Meg i will mate the 97 is one of the best money can buy as far as springers go there a top class rifle the only down side is the wait there a heavy bit of kit get it polished and tune,d you will not regret it i can tell you the silver and nickel one is going to be my next one but im going to make it all silver IE,,,,scopes and barrel wait ,,,,mounts....all ready got the mounts off a good friend off here . Once that has all been done im going to fit the action into a custom sporter stock if you think it looks good in the black synthetic then you should see the silver action in a wood sporter stock there just stunning in wood Any way welcome back to the springer world and enjoy mate enjoy atvbmac :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to post

meg1 55 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm just waiting on a service kit from sfs, can't wait to give it a real good tune up and see the difference 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've got a Sandwell Field Sports tuning kit fitted to my HW97K and it's a beauty to shoot with. Just a standard HW97 .177cal. in the factory Bavarian sporter stock but what a hunting rifle! It'll whack a rabbit out clean at some impressive ranges. Can't fault these guns or these kits really. All the best. Simon Quote Link to post
meg1 55 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hi Simon, it was though your right up on the HW tune up you had done, and seeing si and Davy's guns in action, that inspired me to go with the sfs kit, Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Tom Quote Link to post
