Gaoler 83 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thinking of treating myself to a new rifle, I currently own an HW100 & FN19 in .22. I am told .177 is as good as calibre to hunt with, if not better? Does anyone shoot with the above rifle, I quite like the look of the HW110, is the polymer construction robust? Cheers....

Phill-W68 547 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I have the hw110 mate had it about 15months, in .177 , I find it lighter and quieter than my hw100tk, bigger shot count if that matters, fitting the mag is fiddly till you get used to it, it's only 10shot where as the hw100 are 14shot, seems robust, mine did start leaking air a few weeks back, so sent it to my local gunsmith hes sorted the problem, changed all the seals o-rings just incase I got it back yesterday with this 16shot chrono printout which I'm happy with.. 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,998 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I had the 110k in .22 which I thought was superb but sold it to buy my wmr rifle and is on my list to replace with a .177 of the same. The 'k' version has a smaller shot count although more than thw 100 series but weighs in at only 2.7kg making it both short and very quick to use. Phil Quote Link to post

The stock is beechwood under the rubberised coating, great air rifles 1 Quote Link to post

smithie 2,443 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I have an early one of these, good little guns imo. Mine has never had a service and now wont hold air for long. Still has anti tamper and no gun shops open to get it fixed so for now it just collects dust. Quote Link to post

Tempted though I am, I can't get out as much as I used to anyway 1 Quote Link to post

Phil With it being the K, did the shorter barrel reduce distance for accuracy..? Quote Link to post
