RIGHT ILL DO THIS IN STAGES SO PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL IM DONE

 

CHEERS LADS

 

RIFLE

 

First off she is on the heavy side id say on par with the hw100 or hw97.

 

LOOKS

 

She is a stunner the stock reminds me of a daystate

 

shoulders nice but if im honest the pistol grip is to small for my hands and digs in a bit

but ill get used to that lol

STOCK

 

Its very dry when you first get it and you DO need to OIL her strait away

 

The grain on this one is nice thats what attracted me to her in the first place

 

the point on the cheek pice is to sharp imo and i think this will snap off in time

 

under the stock its got some nice thick stippling for your for hand to grip

 

and its fitted with the same bolt as the hw100 for a pod so no need to drill the stock

 

but as you will see in the pic its not as well finished as the hw one

 

and the stock comes with two thumbs up position,s

COCKING BOLT

 

Its made of a hard plastic and it feels like you could snap this if you pulled to hard on it

 

like if you need a fast second shot and you rush it

 

But it needs a good pull to cock it any way so may be ok only time will tell on this point

 

COCKING THE RIFLE

 

When you pull it back it travels back a good way before you get the click that tells you its cocked and its stiff when you do this this could ease off with use but im not so sure

 

i may look into making it lighter

MAG

 

Its fiddly to start with ,,i had to look in the manual to see how you load it

 

you rotate the face of it clock wise until the spring is fully loaded then drop your pellets in

and push the face back one notch at a time loading the mag as you go

 

It holds 12 pellets ,,,now the pellets are loose in the mag they do not sit tight as they do in other mags and your first one you load can and will fall strait through and out the other end

you have also got to take care when doing this as its easy to damage your first pellet when you push the face of the mag back as i did a few times lol

 

it comes with two mags as well

 

I could see it being a pain out in the field when on the lamp so once you have zero,d fill both the mags be fore you hit the fields

 

The mag loads from the right side of the rifle and is easy to load into the loading bay

the loading bay has a grove in it that the mag must sit in then you just push it in

POWER ADJUSTER

 

This is easy to use BUT all you have is a + and a - and a few little lines to let you know if its high or low and there on the left side of the rifle so you have to tip it to see where your at with it .

 

It would of been nice to have the right numbers on there and on the right side of the rifle

[bigmac 97kt 13,811]

TRIGGER

is nice and light but not to light so you cant feel it

 

first stage is good and a little squeeze on second stage to set the rifle off

 

 

[bigmac 97kt 13,811]

AIR GAGE

 

This is easy to read and i would think good out in the fields on the lamp

 

if you needed to check how much air pressure was in the rifle

 

FILLING THE RIFLE

 

It was slow at first and seams to jump up in stages not nice and even as some are

 

some thing you may have to watch in case it over fills

 

filling adapter fits in nice and tight so some grease may be needed from time to time

 

as it may ware the o rings down

[bigmac 97kt 13,811]

Shooting the rifle

 

When you push the pellet into place she has a nice click to her to let you know the pellet is in the chamber .

 

she shoulders nice and when you let the pellet go you get a little quiet ding out of her but its not loud so some thing i can get used to .

 

the scopes are not the best on this one so the first card was all over the place lol

 

but i got her there in the end only out to 18yrds mind

 

the second card was a lot better once iv changed the scopes ill get another set up for you lads to see but i think its going to be pellet on pellet

 

pellets were jsb exacts 15,89 gr head size was 5,52

 

iv fitted her with a A&M TWINK and it quiet apart from the ding lol

 

 

[bigmac 97kt 13,811]

AND HOW SHE LOOKS NOW WHEN OIL,D

 

ill get a review of her out in the fields when iv got time lads

 

and out to some better distances on the targets to

 

thanks so much for your patience

 

DO I LIKE HER WE WILL SEE WHAT SHE IS LIKE OUT ON THE HUNT

 

BUT FIRST IMPRESSIONS

 

YES

BUT I GOT FULL SHOTS OUT OF HER

Good review mate

...... You took feckin long enough doing it

 

I do like the look of that

....... Like you said - very Daystate looking - especially their older stuff which, in my opinion is when they made their best rifles.

 

That mag looks to be exactly the same as the Impact mag (Rapid) for the GSX 100 that I had

..... Good mag but, it took me ages to figure it out.

 

The stock looks like a kind of cross over between a sporter and a thumbhole - I like it

 

That nice grain looks even better with some oil on it.

 

I'll be looking out for your hunting posts with it - fingers crossed, it'll perform as good as it looks

FECKING KNACKER,D JON LOL

 

can hardly see the key board been flat out with work and im back at it tomorrow 6ish start lol

 

The rifle comes with a nice hard case as well jon but you have to remove the mod to get it in the case

 

put it next to a raider 12 to day at the rfds and there was not much difference in them

 

dont know when ill get out with her yet but ill try some time this week
