fenboy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a 97kt . And I have been very happy with it , it shot great straight from the box but I have since had it tuned which has made it incredible . I have had a tx200 and much prefer the HW97 , have a look at what guns win the springer section of HFT shoots and it is almost always a HW97 , this should tell you which is the better gun.

goodo123 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a 97k not thumbhole and find it great, always surprised by the accuracy, didn't get the thumbhole as not keen on thumbhole stocks, find if your hand isn't the right size they rub, someone suggested more weight in the stock assists with Springer recoil but I haven't noticed ne problem. I had a look at the tx but had a go with it and don't like the ratcjetty underlever, although this can probably be changed. Have a go with both nd see how u get on.

Will 1994 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Fenboy that is a very nice setup , if you dont mind me asking how much did it set you back ? regards will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Had the gun a few years now and think it cost around £450 at the time , around £500 now but they now do one in a synthetic stock which is cheaper. The scope is just a cheap nikko sterling and is perfectly adequate for airgun ranges , I did get a decent one piece mount around £30 as scopes are more liable to move on a springer. I have added a sling and swivels since that photo which was another £40 and had it tuned £75 , so a fair outlay but I am left with a gun for life if I so desire.

Will 1994 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have definitely made my mind up and i am definitely going for the HW97kt with the wooden stock like yours , also maybe treat it to a stage 2 tune at sandwell fieldsports ! regards will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sandwells is who done mine , if you a buying new get one from them and have it tuned at the same time and you may get a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
