washerboy Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Not sure if I've asked this question before but here goes anyway. Has anyone used and liked a spring gun in. 20 I have shot a mk1 rapid in this calibre and on the range I did OK with it. Often find myself mulling over the idea of a hw95 or 80 in. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 hello, if i were looking it would be a HW 95 K, i like lighter springers, i use sticks on all my rifles, never had one of those things you fit on rifle rifle, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I think you ought to do what tickles your fancy. I've had a couple of quite nice .20 guns. The first was a falcon FN19 dated now of course but i shot loads of rabbits with it. Agricultural by today's standards, poor magazine and poor shots per fill. Next up a HW 95 horrible gun so i moved that on as well. Edit: Sorry the FN19 was a PCP. Best of luck!

arjimlad Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 My Dad has a .20 Theoben - really like it. I had a Sheridan Blue Streak in the same calibre as a youngster which was a lot of fun. There's a lot going for .20 calibre at sub 12 ft lbs in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratchers Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 I use jsb exacts in my hw100 .20, they are excellent. I use H&N ftt in my Huntsman Classic .20, again excellent. Only got a .22 springer recently and have not had chance to experiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 To be honest I looked into .20 friend had one it was ok, couldn't see any benefit to it over the .177 &.22 Not as flat as .177 and not as much cross section as .22. A heavy .177 or light .22 can do all a .20 can with lots more choice in pellets. If you are going for one I certainly wouldn't pick the HW95 unless you fancy putting a heavy silencer on it. My .22 95 is a love hate thing. I like how it looks, hate how it shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Already had my HW100 but always wanted a Huntsman Classic, just think they look so good, I would have had any calibre, just so happens that the first one I had chance to buy was another .20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 My Huntsman Classic is in .177 shoots nice looks better than most as you don't look a a air cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
