chandler Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 You'll love it! I can't have a Pro Sport because I'm a South paw but I simply love my HW 97. PCPs are great for what they do and I wouldn't be without one, but for beautiful, reliable, soulful simplicity, a quality springer can't be beaten. Good luck with it!

Salop Matt Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Dont tell me that Brian......LOL. On saturday I will of waited 8 weeks and all I want to do is get it and get some lead down range so that I can take it out and give some quarry a head ache. The wait is terrible, its worse than being an 8 year old kid at christmas, ive been excited about guns/rilfes before but not to this extent and its almost the cheapest I have ever bought ! What pellets does yours like ? ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Picked up my Pro Sport to day, not had a new springer since 1980, it has a very nice walnut stock which does beckon for some Walnut oil. The Rifle is very accurate with a very nice Trigger, i zeroed in at 40 yards with 10 shots, even managed to put one pellet through the same hole, I would describe this gun as a modern springer with some old school in it, the build quality looks superb. I will be putting it to work on the Rabbits and Magpies soon, just need to get used to it a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStumps Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I started out with a BSA Meteor .22. It was my 12th birthday present, nothing quite the same as struggling to cock it at 12 years old or the satisfying "THWACK" as you squeezed the trigger. Every air gun user should have at least springer in the collection. Once I've got myself setup with a new PCP and started shooting again I will definitely be investing in a springer.

Longbower Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have two regulated AA pcp's, but would not part with my HW95K,. To an old f##t like me , it just seems to be what an air rifle should have been when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
