That sounds a fantastic combination. I’ve not had a HW100. Pick up a HW100 KT Laminate in early August. Read lots of positives! Any downsides from your perspective ?

I don't know where you are, but I believe that all the FAC level US carbines are shipped with the rifle cylinder. IMO, the only downside is its limitation at higher power levels. But that's an unfair criticism, because it was designed as a sub-12 rifle. Accuracy and quality are top shelf, great trigger, and the best mag design in the business. You'll like it.

Got it, that’s great feedack. Friend of mine has a couple and there are a pleasure to shoot. I’m UK based so mine will be a sub 12.

Mine is a .22 and did not need degreasing of the spring. I really like the SS tray and recommend it highly. I have not done any mods (as yet).

Good call, hadn’t thought about a SS loader. Be interested in your thoughts on .20 calibre? Seems to be the ideal compromise between .22 and .177? I went for .177 but thinking I should have gone for .20 for target and a bit of pest control ?

There's nothing wrong with using the SS loader, but I can say, from an accuracy perspective it is not necessary. The HW mag is, in effect, a revolving SS loader. It's gear driven, no springs, and the alignment is perfect. And you can operate it manually if preferred, just don't push the slide to engage the gear. It becomes a perfect anti-double feed when operated that way, great for hunting.

I had one and it was the most consistantly accurate rifle I have ever shot and I have owned and shot a lot of air rifles. If you are going to shoot field target, get a Rowan flip out single shot tray. Thank me later. Mine shot the Crosman 10.5 gr boxed Premieres the best. Just shoot it a lot.
