After waiting several months for AOA to get in an HW97 in Blue Laminate in 22cal, it finally arrived. I have only sighted it in at 18 yards last night as I just finished up the tune. Below is a pic and some FYI info if anyone is interested. The tune is a standard Maccari tune kit with Vortek piston seal. This is the first HW97 I have ever owned in .22cal, so I have nothing to compare the numbers to another one in .22cal. The gun was a great shooter out of the box, but too twangy for my taste.
Below are some before and after chronograph results.
