evo Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 HW 100 KS all day long. I had owned 3 so far and i can't fault them. ... Excellent accuracy, excellent loading mechanism, massive magazine capacity, excellent trigger and silent as a mouse ****. What else can you ask from a hunting rifle? for it to not weigh like a ton of bricks lol have to say I,ve been having a mooch looking for a decent hw100 carbine to buy and put through its paces but my local gunsmith has got a shop full and all in for repair with leaks ,,its put me off a bit and I,m just wondering if I should just buy a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are a big fan of Daystate but get a new HW100 carbine and you might soon change your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shropshire_Lad Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 The one I regret selling the most was a Titan MCO 20 with a left hand stock. I waited years to be able to get a left handed pcp that looked like a rifle. The woodwork was stunning and like a muppet I sold it for a R7 years later. The R7 was a fantastic rifle but I wish I had kept the Titan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 To be honest even though I have only had it about 3 months my Daystate Huntsman classic. Bought 2nd had and its in immaculate condition, off the sticks at 25 yards the other day I put 6 shots through one pellet hole. I have only ever done this with one gun and that was my FX Vermy off a fixed rest. Needless to say its a keeper this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbuster Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Got to be my trusty Rapid. Running at 33ft/lbs, really pointable and accurate. And built to last👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggysreels Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 If and when l decide to sell my Ultra, l'd go for a .177 HW 100 carbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggysreels Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Probably best for Roger to buy new. He'd get the two year warranty. I'm not in a rush to sell my Ultra; though if and when l do, l would go for the HW 100 carbine version. I'd also move on a shotgun or two at the same time. I'm in the middle of revamping my boat fishing gear at the moment - not cheap lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hw80 built by myself with Steve pope doing all the internals full custom Why? Because it's accurate very easy to shoot well with and is always ready to pick up and use It was finished about 15 yrs ago and I must have seen 40-50 others come and go in that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 hi dont waste your money on a new hw 100 evo .My mate had leaks and barrell coming lose all the time i was having issues with my daystate ranger at the time got fed up with daystate issues on everyone ive had .so thought i'd give the hw a go i bought a new fsb 177 cal it whent back the next day to HC ,faulty valve i took it back and swapped it for the hw 100 k,that leaked after a week and also grouped like a shotgun ,got my money back .I waited nearly two yrs before buying a new hw 100 .20 cal that whent straight back failed reg.took it back like a fool got a new hw100 t that leaked after two weeks and reg failed returned gun refunded and bought an fx cyclone walnut 177 new had it 10 months now put 2,000 pellets through it never missed a beat . crickey that's not good,as said I would like to give one a try to see just what everyone is raving about, I,ve fired a couple of shots with one but not had the chance to really put one through its paces,, as said my local gunsmith has had a few in lately ALL leaking, looks like some of the hw100 owners are not being honest, was thinking new for the guarantee , to be on the safe side but certainly having second thoughts now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I had the kt in 22 and had no problems I now have a ks 177 and its great and had no problems, fantastic gun. teza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 teza don't mean to sound daft but is the only difference between the Kt and Ks the thumbhole stock on the Kt seems to me there is a load of hw100,s about with letters following the 100, totally confusing but I do know the T stands for thumbhole lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 yes evo its k for karbine and t for thumbhole both great guns but I wanted to go 177 and change of stock and it I find it better for me. i was aa s410 f before hw and loved it but I love the hw 100 a lot more teza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 mine is the sporter stock and then you have the fsb which is the full shrouded barrel teza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signman Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) HW100KS mine weighs 4.10kg..does not feel heavy at all, it feels much nicer to shoulder than any Daystate I've tried..feels more balanced to me. Thought about a Ti cylinder but not really required. That is with Mamba Lite/covers and shade plus A&M Twink fitted. It's a quality bit of kit. How anyone can not like the side arm cocking lever ?? It's so light and easy to use. Evo if you want a dabble on mine your more than welcome bud Huntsman - Airwolf - Wolverine - HW100KS - HW99s - HW99s(IMP) - HW30s and counting Edited October 19, 2015 by Signman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 looks like some of the hw100 owners are not being honest How did you come to this conclusion? There are far more faulty Daystates out there than HWs , and only because some HW owners were unlucky, doesn't mean that all the other ones are dishonest.

Scully Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 mine is the sporter stock and then you have the fsb which is the full shrouded barrel teza The one I have in mind is the FSB in .177. Handled one at a local dealer and it's very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far more faulty Daystates out there than HWs , and only because some HW owners were unlucky, doesn't mean that all the other ones are dishonest. shootgun ,, now that did make me laaaarrrrrffffff, I,m not getting at the hw100 , I am interested in buying one, but the more I,m reading and the more I,m being told by hw owners / gunsmiths the more I,m being put off, I have come to the conclusion because all I,m hearing is about leaking rifles , yet not many on here have even mentioned it, do they leak / don't they , you seem to be a hw100 lover , so can you fill me in with how good are they really, I agree daystates leak,, my ranger has just sprung a leak on the buddy bottle seal, does that mean the gun is a waste of time and I should not buy one ? NO IT DOESN,T , just because an air rifle leaks does not mean its crocked and useless, lets not forget the pressure these vessels are built to withstand, so springing a leak is as I see it the fun of owning one :lol: atb Evo Edited October 20, 2015 by evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Sssssssssshhhh.....never had an AA leak . My TX went for 4 years and never so much as a Mouse f**t escaped . On the other hand my Daystate never leaked either while I had it-don't know about in the Gunshop whilst being repaired though where it spent most of its life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I agree daystates leak, Finally we agreed on something Now if you ask me to choose beween a leaking Daystate or a leaking HW100 , my choice will be the HW100 all day long. I put my latest FSB SK in .177 on the chrono and i had 4 fps velocity spread over 3 full mags ( 42 shots) ,with Baracuda Match. If this is not good, i don't know what it is.
