Sloter Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hi guys, Seen a HW77 near me for sale it's meant to be mint but just wondering what you think it's worth? The guys asking £250! The HW77 was the first gun I ever shot as a kid, one of my friends had one and I was always very jealous and loved the gun. In later life I bought a HW97 and had a few problems with it and ended up in the hands of Hull Cartridge and that wasn’t a good experience. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 almost all of the good condition HW 80s 95,77, 97 etc go for £200 - £300 second hand , they hold the money very well , so I would say £250 is the right ball park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'd pay £250 for a mint HW77. Wonderful airguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloter Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 ok thanks. should I get it tuned? if so anyone recommend anywhere in the north-west? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 A little bit of a hijack but ... I'm seriously considering selling my HW77K - 1980s, I believe. .22, puts pellet on pellet quite happily, but it's in need of a lot of TLC to look decent - has spent most of it's life in a barn by the look of it. Has a scope, but nothing fantastic to look at there either. I was thinking £150 or so. I'll be getting it up on Gunwatch when I get round to taking some pics ... eventually !

bullet boy Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 £250 for a Mint 77 is a bargain IMO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloter Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks guys. I will have a look at it over the weekend and let you know. Do you know if there's anyway that I will be able to tell if it's all original or if it's been renovated? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steyrman Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I had mine tuned by Venom back in the 90's dont know if there still trading but would recommend them if they still are s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloter Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well I went to look at the hw77 and it was far from mint in my opinion. The guy selling it said "we'll it is an old gun" my argument was it still isn't mint, it was 7 out of 10 I recon. The search continues.

secretagentmole Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Is that recently? What sort of condition? Thanks Bought it in March, this year. Condition is well used, but still going strong. making 10.6 ft lb on what I think are the original internals! Slightly scratched stock! The beast (I had the scope knocking about). Worn bluing! Slightly rusty loading port! That is the condition, but it is still accurate! Edited May 15, 2014 by secretagentmole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I now realise that I had one of these and gave it away to a young builder who was starting shooting - I'd have charged him a bit if I had known, or maybe not. It was a very good gun and capable of dropping rabbits dead at 40 yds. I now have a very old Daystate huntsman rough as a box of nails to look at but also good out to 45/50 yds Amazing what you learn on here.

Hi Kes I had two early Daysdtate Huntsm,an mk1 rifles but recently swapped one for a BSA Ultra multi.. The Huntsmans are a tad heavy but deadly accurate Here's the Sporter that I still have though I made a match trigger to fit years ago as the 'sporter' trigger was a single stage rubbish unit (I copied the match trigger on the other rifle!!).. This is the one I swapped.. I'm more of a collector now than a shooter (Local club was razed to the ground by a greedy council ) and no perms near me..
