Loki Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hiya A chum is adding a triple deuce to his ticket and asked about these. I have no idea except German and likely the Record trigger unit a la HW80. Who uses one of these and whats the experience/opinion of these over the 'usual suspects - Tikka595/Sako85?/CZ?? in pre-owned please. Odd ones float about for sale but curious.......so information gratefully received. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Not got much experience with the rifle you are talking about, however I do own an M595 and will be owning a T3 on Saturday morning, and I will say the m595 is a cracking rifle. I am sure the HW60/HW60j will be a fine fox dropper so I would say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Nice, very nice. I have the 22 Hornet. I would miss the J version and go for either the 60 or 60 JM which I use, but really it's personal preference as usual. My suggestion is for the former if walking is involved or the latter if more static (I'm knadgered so shoot from truck top) and is based on the weight factor.

Gimlet Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I've got HW60j in .22 and HMR. Very fine rifles. If it was me I wouldn't go for the target stock model with the stippling (HW66 ?) The stippling gets very dirty. If you do fancy a 66 in .222 though Ladds of Crediton had one last week second hand excellent condition with mod about £800 as I recall. They also had a mint Sako 75 varmint wood/blued in .222 for the same money. Have to say I'd have the Sako. I was gutted I was after a 75 varmint in .308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Gentlemen Thank you for your replies - friend (The Rebel on PW) will wander over to peruse the HW60 (std barrel) at some point. The difference apart from barrel weight is about 2-250 notes. What should he look out for/be aware of please? Cheers V-happy M595 S/S owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi Thank you for your thoughts Wymberley & Gimlet - the item was fit for purpose, apparently having only fired 68rds, so pristine and being collected today. Temporarily scoped but with improved optics due, in the form of Zeiss Conquest brought back from holidays, next 2 months. if I didnt have a 595 I would hope to have been guided to HW60s as an alternative to the regulars.

tweedledee Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 let us know how the 222 performs.it`s the next one on my wish list.just need to find somethin clean enough to please me. this recession is killing me lol,cant afford new guns anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Think I'm right in saying that like the JM, the 60 has no factory fitted sling ( bipod) stud(s). May just pay, if some are fitted, to check their security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 my 60j had them fitted from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi Thanks for the additional information duly noted. There were sling swivels (as HW80) fitted but cant rem if they are on studs..... If stays dry today will give it a workout this afternoon. Tweedledee - my m595 in .222 has perfomed faultlessly on Roe (in Scotland) and Muntjac & Fox (down south) with the appropriate ammunition. I will be reloading with Nosler bullets shortly which will provide further experience. Thanks again. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
