HW97 Pacific Airgun Expo Score!

[r1lover]

Went to the Pacific Airgun Expo in Placerville, CA this weekend and came home with an unexpected surprise. It must have just been put out because I didn't see it my first time around the tables. I snagged a 100% as new condition Beeman HW97 time capsule in...........ready?...........20 cal! Even came with this hard case and a tin of pellets. Everything about it feels new.

This gun must have been stored flat because there is no flair to either the heel or toe of the rubber butt pad. For those "righties" like me who are not fond of ambi stocks, this has the right-hand dedicated cheek piece. And for those of us who do not care for the scalloped underside of the butt on new HW's, well here it is....NOT!

No tax, no shipping, no waiting. SCORE!

Very nice example of a classic HW97. You are a lucky dog!! Enjoy!

 

[rwsmike]

Very nice looking

Great find! I didn’t see that one there. Myself, I went in with a plan and came away with 2 of the 3 I was looking for:
1) HW30 - hit
2) HW 75 - miss. There was a Beeman P11 for more than I was willing to pay.
3) HW70- hit

This show is small but always a great time. Glad you found that gorgeous 97 or I may have been tempted

Holy cow! I would say it looks NIB!

 

[MDriskill]

And THAT is why it's cool to go to airgun shows!

What a great rifle - beautiful chunk of beech on it, too. I didn't even know the HW 77/97 action had ever been offered in .20 cal.

Wow. Right place right time! You lucky dog. I’m not into.20 caliber and I’m a lefty, BUT it’s good you found it before me! That’s a real beauty! Could not have found a better caretaker. Congratulations!
