DoolinDalton Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hi Guys and gals. I’m looking to buy a HW 97K and wondered what the PW gang recommended regarding the calibration. I mainly shoot rabbits and as they’re very wary, it’s usually at least at 40 yards. Btw, there seems to be a shortage of HW 97 in .22 cal at the moment and only a few in .177. Looking forward to your advice and replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 .177 won't let you down and range estimation is a touch more forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Both Cals will do the same , just get to know your set up and what you are capable of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoolinDalton Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Thanks for the replies, guys. I’ve just bought a .177 as the .22’s are like rocking horse poop and of course, the 177’s are faster with a straighter trajectory. I’ve just actually fired it for the first time today, just to range the scope in. A heavy’ish gun but with little recoil. The balance is fine, probably due to the built in ‘moderator’ or whatever the term is! A lot shorter than my HW 35 with screw on moderator! A veritable drain pipe! I’m now trying to figure out how to setup the Chrony beta in order to test it and the other air rifles. Bought 3000 pellets for testing/ hunting!
