HW 77 long ?

[beerthief]

I am thinking a HW77 long ( defiantly want the long) in .20 or .177 . , i do not have any .20 guns . And i really like the looks of the long .
i have a HW97k tuned to 11.6 so i am trying to justify the new gun in that i do not have any .20.
Lucky no one has in stock that i can find .

Cool gun but it's going to be hard to find in 20.

 

[DualMagMike]

One of the few airguns I ever parted with. Had no interest in .20 cal at the time and already had another tyro in .177

 

[beerthief]

"Hard to find " might be an understatement . or ill just find a .177 but at this date im thinking used is probably a faster way then new .

beautiful guns you have but not lefty .

I have tuned and worked with three to date. All ended up to be absolute tack drivers. Better than the K versions I have experienced.

The 77 "long" is a pretty useless model. The "hard to find" is the first clue.

Other than cocking effort and sight radius if using receiver sights, they are worse in every way VS a 77K.

Been there and done that. Don't care to again. I'm a HUGE fan of the 77 platform, but found nothing to like about the full length 77.

Same goes for the .20 caliber, you'll pay more for the gun, pay more for the ammo (when you can find it), for a gun that doesn't do anything a .177 or .22 won't do as well or better.

But if you just have to have one, get one.

Beer thief I own what they call a stainless Hw77 in 22 cal. It’s my most accurate air rifle. I also think they are good looking and sort of elegant In a way. Hope you find one soon.

I have one in .177, and one of my friends with razor sharp eyes put 5 shots into a 1/4 Inch hole at 25 yards with the stock open sights. My jaw hit the shooting beach. Its a keeper.

I like that 77 over 97 myself..

Only turn off is not .177 or .22 when it comes to easy to get pellets. I can run in to walmart near any day any time to grab some cheap in a hurry or just need some in a pinch. Them others not so.

Anymore i look at convenient not novelty.. then everyone's got there thing.

I can confirm that, because I have a beeman 77 purchased from Dan and it is very accurate.

 

[beerthief]

just checked everywhere in the world i can find and no one has HW77 in stock in any cal.
maybe i will luck out and find a tuned one used ?

 

[c801tfd]

It can take a while to find even a used one. In 2019 I decided I wanted to try an under lever rifle, I finally found this one in October 2022, don't give up they are out there and i must say the long version is a great looking rifle and accurate.

Beerthief, if you can hold out long enough wait for the .20, maybe AOA can get one in. KRALE only offers in .177/.22 that i see. What I like about the HW77 is the open sights option. I enjoy my .20 so it might be worth it for you. well wishes!

 

[maxtrouble]

Have you checked Mundilar.net? They have a very good supplier. They had a blue laminate 77 that was in stock for a day. They go quickly!

 

[thumper]

I've sold two HW77 long versions over the years, and practically couldn't give them away because they weren't "K" versions.

Where were all you diehard long gun fans then?

 

[beerthief]

just tried for a Beeman77 but also no luck
yes tried Mundilar.net only .22 in stock
IM going to AR. ,airgun show maybe ill find one there

 

[Darchule]

Beerthief, My HW77K loves the .20 H&N 11.42, but a .177 H&N barracuda match could work too at 10.65 when you dial that gun in (nice).

 

[crowski]

I have the 77 long in both .177 and .22, and a .25 cal. short all keepers. I’ve had a .20 cal. on order for almost 2 years, but not available in Canada currently?
‘The 85 has the long break barrel but you would have to order .20 cal.
‘If you’re looking for .20 cal., R9 or 97 which seem to be a little more plentiful. Anyone who has one, raves about it, common denominator.
A used Beeman 77 would be ultimate. Crow

If you don't care about having the open/iron sights, you might consider purchasing a 97K. I find them to be every bit as accurate, if not more so. Same action and internals. Though I hadn't thought about selling it, within my collection, I have a 97K in black synthetic that has been meticulously tuned, like and better than new, I could make it available to you.
