Which springer too buy?

[Adampie8432 820]

Hi guys I'm thinking of purchasing a good springer for pest control. Any recommendations on which one too buy? I'm looking for something powerful, accurate and as quiet as possible. Cheers atb Adam

 something powerful, accurate and as quiet as possible. 

I'm a bit out of touch with Springers these days but I'm sure someone will come along...... POWERFUL, are you talking FAC?, otherwise many are near to the limit of 12ft lb, or can be adjusted there, but that's your lot!

Hw95 or 35 if I was looking for a springer rifle

but end of day best to go to gun shop handle a few and get one that feels right for you .

Depends how much you want to spend Adam, HW99S is a sound buy for the money.

99 will certainly do the job at Sub12

same with 95 

if it’s FAC then the eighty would be the one to have

They don’t do a thumb hole stock 

but you can buy aftermarket one

Thanks mate. Atb Adam

Hw 97k (sporter stock) or a kt (thumb hole) 

In any cal but be warned 

Most need a tune out of the box 

Unless bought second had 

And they are a bit on the heavy side 

But one of the best out there 

Pro sport in any cal one of the best to

And very accurate out of the box 

No tuning needed 

But both the 97 and prosport 

Will cost you a bit of money if bought new 

Hw 99 in any cal 

177 is a bit snappy out of the box 

And could do with a tune but once done it's a dream to shoot 

22 is OK out of the box 

But could still do with a little polish 

And the best part of this rifle is the cost 

Very cheap rifle at just over 200 notes new 

Hope this helps

After shooting the 99 iv got to say it would take first place 

But take nothing away from the 95 mind 

For the money and what you get 

It would have to be the 99

But what suits one may not suit another 

Best try them both before you buy 

Then it is your choice and no one else's

Pity you are too far away as I have a 35 export model to sell, you could have tried it, not quite as heavy as the 97 but certainly accurate.
