spookytooth Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi everyone Just wanted make my first post a "hello" to everyone. Although I've had a couple or air rifles around the house for most of my life, I've only just got back into it through my son and my son-in-law who have just recently started as well. Last Saturday I thought I'd update my vintage collection by adding an HW97KT - the first gun I've ever had with a scope! At the moment I'm contented to hunt paper targets, but who knows what the future may hold? This looks a very informative and friendly site, so hopefully I'll be visiting a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookytooth Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome guys! My other two rifles are a BSA Cadet (had it when I was 14!), and a Webley Service MkII, so it's been a pretty big leap to the HW97KT :blink: Although I'm still zeroing it in I'm amazed at the accuracy already I've got a Hawke Sport HD 3-9x50 AO IR scope on it and I can see stuff at the bottom of the garden I didn't know I had!
