I have been looking at the HW 30 in .20 cal, as it is the only cal. I can find new right now, can you tell me your thoughts on it ?

I am really happy with my 30 in .20 cal. I had to wait for the 97, so I shot the .30 for a good while prior.
The 30 has a poor trajectory for what I used it for, shooting 75 yards, but still deliverd accuracy, and power that my .177 Webly Vulcan, couldn't.
I found a video of a shoot that I had done with HW30 shooting shot shells hulls and empty CO2 cartridges at 75 yards.

I checked a while back when people were saying that you couldn't get ammo for .20 cal, and found that every common distributor out there had .20's in stock.
The actual complaint is a lack of variety!
Who needs variety?
I have quite a variety of.22 cal pellets that don't shoot well in anything Lol
The ones that are available in .20 are the proven ones that are in demand.

I have a good supply pellets already, that is part of the reason for getting one, have you tuned yours yet or still stock.

I don't know your situation, but you may consider the 95 over the the .30 depending on your needs and purpose. AoA may still have Walnut stock .20cal HW95n's in stock?

Plus you already have the RWS. I am not familiar with them to know its power in comparison to the Weihrauch's.
The 30's are light and easy, I call them handy. Like my Sheridans.

I was fortunate to have had an HW30 Deluxe .20 in stock. That one has the old style stock shape.

I really have no idea because I don't have experience with a Gamo and a hw95. But I did shoot the gamma which is in 177 caliber at 100 yards along with the 95 today. 95 is 22 cal and the Gamo went right through even from that far away. But the smack of the 22 sounded so much louder. But I seen a TX200 which looks nice but on the same note I like the option of having open sites available to me. So I really do like the way the 77 looks and the 95. Oh yeah even the rx2hw90 look awesome. But I don't have a lot of money so I really would like to buy one's cry once. I don't really do too much hunting. But I do take the occasional pigeon squirrel rabbit and every now and then a ground hole if it's close enough. But most of the time I just like shooting targets.

Steelju, don't buy an HW90 without adjusting the pressure in the gas ram. They can be tough to cock. But the HW moderator is the cats pajamas. It gives the extra leverage you need to cock the monster. I have a .20 in a 95 and it hits hard. The son has my labradar. Will collect it one day and chrono many airguns. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.
