evo Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Evo, sorry but you have made some dumb *** comments, I don't remember commenting I want to shoot MHR Rrifles,so why say that? I didn't make the HW100 unable to have a safety on when unloaded? If they made it like that and they sell thousands I guess it's safe to have it in that format. The rifle with the rubbish bolt was a BSA UltraSE, AND thank **** I don't get the chance to shoot with you, you're clearly an idiot retromic,,do you have to take things so personal,,,,,calm down,, I was merely pointing out that IF you smashed yourself in the face trying to cock an air rifle with a bolt action then there would be no chance you would ever be able to cock a rimfire or hmr because they are stiffer to cock,,i was pointing that out,,also bud if it took so much strength to try to pull the bolt back which then ended up with you smashing yourself in the face then it is plainly obviouse that something is or was wrong with the rifle pushing the bolt back in should be harder ,, on the other point of making silly comments, can I just point out that when " I AM SHOOTING" and no matter what rifle or gun I am using then the safety is always applied until a split second before I shoot,,it has become second nature with me and anyone whom is shooting with me will be told to do the same or don't bother coming with me,,it is always best to be safe than sorry,, can I also point out I was not getting at you personally I was merely trying to point you in the right direction with regards little things you said,,one of which is very unsafe,, with regards to me being an idiot,,,you have your opinion and must be a fine standing pillar of the community to make such a remark,, well done you have really cheered me up, but please don't take things personal as there was no malice intended,, now go and sit on the naughty step like a good little boy until you learn to behave yourself behind your computer,, take care safe shooter Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Evo,you miss the point which is you can't put the saftey on a HW100 when it is not loaded,it does not do it,simple.So regardless of what you insist upon,with a HW it can't be done.I don't need you to point me in the right direction,I shoot perfectly safely,and i Don't load until into position as a loaded gun with a saftey on can still discharge,I do shoot shotguns you know.And I did take it personally as some of you comments were patronising including the naughty step remark. I often read your comments,they are endless about Daystates,and I have valued your views on how good they are,but i'm afraid you have let yourself down with the patronising smart **** remarks and signing off with 'safe shooter' Evo.Is a classic head up yourself remark.

Dirty Harry Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Why would you need to put the safety on an empty gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 scenario: spend a day in the field, shooting a fair bit, put the gun down to have lunch or a drink. catch a glimpse of the gun 'hmm safety's off. must be empty. thought I reloaded. ah well, i'm sure it's fine.' It's not impossible to see something like this happening. Obviously all PW are the most responsible shooters the world has ever seen, we're never forgetful and we have perfect standards. but there are plenty of not so careful shooters out there. I'd rather a gun minimised the chances for people to be dopey with air rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feos Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I was very skeptic. After long time of saving money I followed by consideration, testing and decision-making between the HW100 and the Huntsman Regal. I decided for Huntsman Regal .22, since I have no doubt that it is the right decisions. The rifle is lighter, smoother to charge and shoot. Accuracy and consistency superb every time. I'm suggesting to get 7L 300 Bar dive bottle for filling the rifle from Go dive center. Hope this help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickB65 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have owned both he R10 mk2 and the HW100 and both are great guns. Both were in .177 and I used them both for hunting and HFT and both handled well. The R10 was a lot more fussy on pellet type while the HW100 didn't care so much but was heavier. The HW100 safety can only be applied while the gun is loaded true which means no matter whether the safety is on or not you treated like it is loaded - as you should any gun until you are certain either way. for me the HW100 was by far the best gun for performance, looks, build quality and it is a great workout while hunting.... just get a sling and you'll be fine.... Never shot the Daystate so can not comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daystate 177 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 do yourself a favour buy an AAs410 then spend the rest on what ever you fancy. My s410 can do everything the others can wouldn't say better but id say cheaper! I would love a huntsman classic but that's only because I think its a thing of beauty but I cant afford 1 so I'm hapy with my 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Shot 1958 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 HW 100 great gun had mine for two years without issue ,pellet loading is so smooth ,German technology you cannot beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richo85 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Having recently purchased a daystate huntsman I can't recommend them enough. It is so so accurate, I know it is a bit more money but I prefered it. To me the hw100 as good as it is was a bit too bulky for me,the huntsman is so light and comfortable. Happy picking and let us know which one you go for. Atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael170874 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I had all 3 .but kept the hw 100. T 177 cal. Bsa r10 was very accurate ,many woodpigeon ended up in the pot very nice looking gun too I started to get mag problems after 200 shots but apart from that it was faultless in the 4 months i had it.The daystate well i wanted to wrap this around a tree ,mag issues it wouldn' t rotate most of the time,accuracy was all over the place **** shot count.the bolt was gritty and not at all smooth on these. Sold it to buy my latest hw100 T only had this 3 months and i just love this gun accuracy is awesome right out to 50 yds 5 pence peice size groupes side lever smooth as silk ,the mag faultless shot count 120 in 177 well enough everything about it oozes quality.i have had everything in the gun shop in my 35 yrs of shooting but the hw 100 is by far the best there is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggysreels Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Had a few shots of a Daystate Huntsman last night "NV setup" .. they are a fantastic piece of kit. The bolt mechanism was silky smooth, flawless! ... the accuracy at range was very impressive .. they're not cheap, but if owning one puts a smile on your face, thats a good enough reason to own one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenduri Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Holy Necro Batman! Who re-raised this thread lol My plans went out the window when some unexpected expenses came along and wiped the air rifle budget out but at the moment im pushing towards the HW100 once i've re-saved the money again.

evo Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Zenduri,, little bit of advice bud,,whilst saving up again for the hw100,go to the gym mate and work on some upper body strength,,you,ll need it to hump an hw100 around all day :lol: only jokin ,,,they are a crackingly accurate rifle and very well built but it was the weight and the side lever that put me off, I much prefer the bolt action, but that's a personal preference really, atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenduri Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 The side lever is a bit of a put off but I can live with it. Ive shot all 3 down my local range now and all 3 have been great. I may still change my mind at a later date as im still bouncing between all 3 buy especially the Daystate and the HW 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I had the same problem, which one to get but I went for the Daystate Regal which I picked up today. Well pleased and will give it a good testing out tomorrow. Hope you decide soon. Shorty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you won't be dissapointed when you put it through its paces mate. I've just ordered a Wolverine B in FAC, but got to wait 3 weeks for it to be shipped out to me. Enjoy you gun bud, I'm sure you will ATB Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
