I should have bought but didn't and I suppose I would not make huge use of one outside the range but I really did enjoy using it. Clearly you are not in sales Jon but there again perhaps this is a new method of subliminal selling. Phil Believe it or not, I kind of am - I'm a retail store manager This is the only 57 that I've tried so, I don't really know if they're all horrible. This is quite a new one but, I bought it used - it's loud, harsh, snappy and, diesels like a bitch. ..... I've had it apart once for a good clean, polish and relube but, it does need doing again.

philpot 5,000 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Okay Jon, well just bear it in mind, I can always take it over to see our Tim (charlie caller) to work some magic but it is down to cost when I have done my purchase. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

Then gave the brand new Pro Sport a quick warm up, also outside, off sticks at 38 yds in a breeze. Sadly, rain stopped play but a great indication of the capabilities of her accuracy,- I`m very pleased with this rifle. Check her accuracy against that 5p lads,- she`s fully ready for the fields now Come on - 24 shots on an A4 piece of paper - have some fun on the " Shit Shot Challenge" Thank`s to another Forum I`m a member of for the idea. What about us sub 12ft/lb .25cals can't we play haha 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Well, I thought I'd have another bash at this today ........ I realised that this is the first time this year that I've used the HW100 I've said it loads of times but, at the moment, I don't think there is a better all-round air rifle out there. ....... At 35yrds, resting on a squashed blue roll, firing JSB Heavies, it was almost like cheating so, I turned it into the '72 shit shot challenge' and put 3 shots into each circle. ....... These rifles really are THAT good Check out the 3 hits on the 20th circle - feck me 3 Quote Link to post
