sweet! I had the Luxus, wasn't walnut just beech. Very light in weight and accurate. I slinged it and put a peep sight on it. Sorry I sold it. Enjoy it.
Thanks. I’m really looking forward to shooting it. Plenty of Hype for it to live up too.sweet! I had the Luxus, wasn't walnut just beech. Very light in weight and accurate. I slinged it and put a peep sight on it. Sorry I sold it. Enjoy it.
Be interested to hear how they do in your 97K?I added a tin of the QYS 8.48 to an existing order/back order, should be here soon.
waiting on some backordered pellets but I'll post a heads up how my 97 shoots them.Be interested to hear how they do in your 97K?
I shoot them in both my prosport and my 97K, they're preferred pellet. I have thousands of JSB 8.44's both in 4.52 and 4.53, but the QYS is my go to.
Very nice!TX200 #3.
Zeroed the scope with mil-dots at 10, 15 & 20 yards.
Wednesday I will finish it at Diablo.
TX200 #1 & #3 shoot at virtually the same speed with 8.64 H&N FTT…835fps/13.5fpe..
TX200 #2 almost 100fps faster/16.5fpe???
It couldn’t be the walnut stocks on #1-#3??
Nah!

That’s a soft rest on the tripod and that’s where it balanced. Other than that I guess it’s magicHow does the rifle stay on there? It looks like the balance point would be closer to the trigger guard.
Beautiful rifle!
I figured that was its balance point.That’s a soft rest on the tripod and that’s where it balanced. Other than that I guess it’s magic
That rifle shown is the HW77, K?, but the 97 does not have sights. Nice gun I like my 77K and it shoots quite well, but is in 22 cal. I am trying to find a matching 177 in the limited edition green laminated stock, only because my first 77 was dressed that way, and I prefer to match them.Shot my HW97 this morning. I started out with the AAs 10.3gr but couldnt get them to group well, I figured it was me not shooting springers all that well then I decited to try some H&N Field target 8.64gr. The first thing I noticed was a much tighter fit and after a few adjustments on the terrets I started to get some decent groups. The scattered shots were mostly the AA's and a few adjustments shots. These were 0'ed shot at 33yards and I was able to hit some 2 inch spinners pretty consistently @ 60 yards.

CongratsToday
was the first outing for the new HW30s! I was so impressed with the little HW50s I picked up last month, I had to see if everything the HW30 owners say is right. I'm pretty impressed for first outing,,,, but a bit confused? I wanted it to shoot the 7.3 grain Exact RS well and around 630 fps was my hopes. It's got to be answered prayer it shot 632.7 Average for 10 rounds!! But when I shot the Terminators at 7.2 grain it only shot 552.0 average? But the good thing was no change in point of impact! And for a brand new rifle shooting 10 shot groups of both inside a dime,,,, to me it's like winner winner, chicken dinner, or yum yum got me some!

Does the slower pellet fit really tight, or loose compared to the faster pellet?Today
