NIGHT SEARCHER Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The HW 100 is a great Rifle very very accurate and a very smooth action cycling the mag. The only problem i have come across with them is that when they have bedded in after 3 or 4 tins of pellets the power creeps up. I had one form Hull Cartridge that was doing 11.5 ftlb out of the box. I put it though the crono after about 9 months and was shocked to find it doing 13.3 ftlb. So i took it out of the stock and drilled out the aunty-tamper plug at the back of the hammer spring adjuster. I just backed off the adjuster one turn and put it on the crono it had dropped to 12.5 ftlb so i give it one more turn and tried it again 11.81 ftlb sorted. I had phoned Hull Cartridge and they said it wasn`t really a warranty job but they would do it but i would have to pay all the postage. With only 3 months left on the warranty i said sod it and did the job myself easy. Looking on the web it seems a very common thing that after bedding in they go over 12 ftlb.

XdunstanX Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Unlike the R10, the shrouded barrel on the HW100 makes little to no difference. I'd go for a standard HW100KT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Another vote for a standard one, why do you think they supply an HW silencer with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy198712 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 he just likes the looks tbh so hes got one and very happy with it:) he can always add a mod, but depends what its used for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XdunstanX Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yeah he can add a mod, but the carbine FSB is a lot longer. So with a mod it's pretty long and makes it look like a complete munter. Down to personal taste really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy198712 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 i think it looks nicer without the mod totally, its not too loud tbh and its not for serious hunting anyway me on the other hand i love how quiet my ultra is, great for hunting! especially for the times you dont want to use the shotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
