Well done for getting a young 'un into it mate

 

Atb to both of you.

I have one in 177, i really like it. I also have a hw100 which is also great but i find myself taking the 95 out hunting more of the time.

Just an update for you all, I bought the HW95k and my little lad loves it. We spent a couple of evenings shooting targets and last night he shot his first rabbit at about 40yards! Hopefully that shot will seal his interest for years to come.

 

Thanks again for all the sound advice

HI All,

 

Im considering buying a HW95k .177 for my Son for his birthday.

 

I can only find good reviews for this rifle which has pretty much cemented my decision to buy one.

 

Has anyone had any bad experiences with this rifle?

 

 

They are a great gun, but they are not without their problems.

We bought two of them, a few years apart.

The springs on both had been cut by a chimp with a disc cutter, the spring ends were gouging the gun internals and putting swarf in the grease which was then chewing the seals up.

Not good from a supposed top quality gun.

 

Fixed by fitting a tuning kit, but when you spend a few hundred on a gun you do not expect to be sorting out the manufacturers problems! If it buzzes like a bee in a tinfoil factory when you fire, the spring is crap!

No buzzing as yet, but we'll keep an ear out, thanks for the advice!

Could be you have a decent spring in it, but for a long while it was a chimp with an angle grinder doing the finishing!

.177 never used shooting sticks with the 95

and its not been sent off

Just noticing the different checkering on the foregrip to the ones I looked at last week in a local shop. Is it because it's a newer or older model?

Yeah the ones I was looking at were the luxus version with the mod, but a different checkering to yours.

I'm thinking of getting one in .20. I've never shot one in .20, had a few shots of my lad's mate's 95k in .177, but didn't like that, a tad snappy.
