hw95 vortek tuned

[.357shooter 1,234]

just a follow up to my response to another thread.not had much chance to test this air rifle yet but feck me it feels heavy after not doing much shooting for 6 months.this air gun now shoots very smooth and my mate that just shoots springers said that it indeed is very good.his words were it is not that far of his venom.so when you consider the cost of the work in comparison that is high praise indeed.anyway i put the target out at 15y as that is all i can get and put 15 shots into the target.my arm was getting fecked by now but i put another 15 shots into it and i was stuggling with the weight.anyway not a bad group with such little pratice lately.just a very nice little airgun to shoot now and very happy with the work done by tony burton.

should have said shot standing not supported or of a rest.

well just bit the bullet and ordered a nice new stock for it too as looking at the pictures it deserves to have some money spent on its apperance as the peformance has been upgraded.put the gun over the chrono and over a 12 shot string fps varied by 6.5 with a high of 617.5 and a low of 611.with my falcon pellets power is now 11.2ft/lbs so almost at pcp levels of consistancy

I think the 95’s are the best in there break barrel rang, nice rifles
polished mine up and put a Vortek seal in made it even better.. gave it to me nephew for Christmas a few years back!

wish I’d kept it now

Looks like a good job, what stock have you ordered? I didn’t think 95’s were that heavy though. You got got noodle arms?

cs500 custom stock with a few options.will have to wait 4 weeks for it though.weight is an issue as i have lost a lot of strength due to not being at the gym for 5-6 months.arms are now only 16.5" have shrunk a bit

Yer, good chaps at custom stock. I had a cs700 made for my hw99s and because I collected it they didn’t charge me for the skip checkering and they fitted it for me as well. Had a good chat with them and they showed me the machinery and how they make the stocks. Very friendly and helpful I found them.

well had another go with it today managed to get 25y this time.had to open a window in the front room and stood at the back wall.so 25y and 30 shots later another group which was getting better.the last 15 or so went through the main group in the middle,just a few wobbly shots to start with.

yet another pic this time only 15y again but 30 shot standing as usual.this little airgun is getting better,smoother to shoot.looks like the choice of tune was a good one.

Tony Burton Tuned my 97K .22 after advice from a member on here, put a Vortex Tune kit in, did a great job. The rifle just gets smoother and more accurate with every shot...been out today with it after rabbits, i love shooting it, it's had about 300 pellets through it now!

Tony is a nice guy too...

lovely guns even better tuned

[.357shooter 1,234]

well the new stock turned up today and i think it really helps the gun to stand out as a complete setup.looks nice and shoots very nice.this time around i will not sell it on like i have done with others in the past.

[.357shooter 1,234]

looks like the springer and me have become one,will be sleeping with it like riggs to get a little better.best group so far today at only 15y i know but not bad freehand.

[Gaoler 83]

That's good shooting!

[.357shooter 1,234]

cheers,should have said the usual 30 shots too.two groups of 15, have a rest between.
