Durham John 693 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Bit of advice ref the above, Anyone got or had one. I know they are only the single shot and I know they have a fecking big hole in the stock ( thats for you Mac) And they are supposed to be a bit loud but I only shoot targets so don't need a quick second shot. Just after some honest thoughts if anyone has had one DJ Quote Link to post
David Aiken 253 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I would only buy one if the chosen shooting discipline demanded 'single shot only'. Otherwise go for the HW100, way more versatile. 1 Quote Link to post
PeskyWabbits 464 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I agree with the above. Would this be a long term keeper? I don't think people are queuing up for these. If it was a second hand bargain, maybe but I think if you got one then changed your mind, it would be a second hand bargain for someone else. HW100 are 14 shots of accurate fun. Loads about. Hold their prices and everyone wants one. HW101 er? 1 Quote Link to post
Durham John 693 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Pesky It would have been a cheap second hander if I do get it 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,966 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 There used to be a guy who I saw a few times at my local range who had one and loved it but he did say that he fancied an HW100 but was told that he will lose too much on his so perhaps they are not so popular.

bigmac 97kt 13,776 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 DJ if your only target shooting then spot on mate the hw100 is no good for target shooting mate 14 shots yes but feck you can empty the mags quick and the air cylinder to boot imo any way and if like me you have three mags its empty a hell of a lot quicker atvbjimmy :thumbs: 2 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,550 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hmmm I suppose all the lads have a good point here. For me, I would go HW 100, DJ. Look at it this way, on the ranges you should be getting as many re-fills as you like,- " free". In the fields hunting - if you ever decide to,- A multi shot magazine is an absolute must. . Just the other day out hunting static, the tree I was shooting over was mobbed by corvids after I shot a wood pigeon. The HW 100 made short work of 4 crows, 1 pigeon and 1 magpie in approx.` 40 seconds . I would never have matched that with my T Rex or a single shot of any description. Yep go the HW 100 route mate.

johonawhitness 110 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 In that situation mark I can't think of a single other gun ide rather have in my hands. That's when they really come into their own and can't be beaten, not just a hw100 but any similar multi shot PCP. I've never ownd a PCP , never felt like I really needed one. Doesn't mean I've not been in a situation where I could have needed one, reading posts like that just makes me realise how many I have been in and only bagged the 1 due to reloading,sound ,movement ete I now realise I DO need one. It would HAVE to be a hw100. 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'd go for a 100 and buy a single shot loader DJ. That way you've got a more versatile rifle - perfect for if you ever decide to hunt and, perfect for target work. Also, if you ever decide to sell it, it'll be easier to move on. 4 Quote Link to post
