I just got my HW97K laminate.177 back from a tune by JohnnyPiston. Extremely happy with it. Cocks super smooth. 12.91 ft.lbs with 8.4 JSB’s. Now if it wasn’t 15 below zero wind chill outside, I could be out shooting it some more.
Great looking gun! I started with all springers at first. My HW 97 k is the thumbhole, synthetic so not nearly as pretty as yours but it is the only springer I kept and don't intend on getting rid of. I'm in cold weather too so I feel your pain. I have a new Crown that I haven't been able to get out and shoot much these past couple of weeks.
