Many thanks, much appreciated 😊

Hi mate , enjoyed that video , I'm a sucker for HW rifles aswell , wonder if the Hawke Scope would do any better groups , just a thought .

Great film clip Vin. Could you do a film clip on cleaning the barrel? I have never cleaned the barrel on my HW57 (not had to), but from what I have heard, you can remove the pop-up breach for cleaning.

Just a question vin...so how do you clean the barrel?

Hi Vin, I would keep it too. Good job.

not mega pellet fussy . definitely stacks em . what’s it like for barrel cleaning . looking is like it could be a bit of a faf with that breach loader . not a deal breaker though . pity they changed that stock design. i am not keen on the cut out on the under side of that butt . but hw seem to have gone that way with all there new stocks

Great gun! I live in the US and mine is a .22 FAC and I put a Williams receiver sight with an adjustable diopter on it. With the sight mounted all the way to the rear it gives a huge sight radius, and the adjustable diopter allow me to make adjustment for different light conditions. It is an absolute tack driver. I agree with you on HW guns. Every time I purchase a springer air rifle that is not an HW (other than Air Arms) I have been disappointed.

👏 great video. Save up for a .22 only air rifles you need in uk 👍🏻

😁👌Congratulations my friend..... 👍I enjoyed every second of your video. Cheers!

Nice one Vin, was thinking of chopping my 35k in and getting the 57, finding the 35 a bit heavy these days. Top video and excellent shooting.

Thank you for the videos! 👍 Take care.

Great video Vin. Do you think it would make a suitable ladies rifle?

Great information Vin. I cannot. I begin to tell you how many times I have gained access to property for shooting, just because I played my cards right and introduced myself. Also, here in the u s we have game wardens. After getting to know my local wardens, they would introduce me to other landowners that they knew we're having problems.

Hi Vin, it looks good to me.

Just to be pedantic,MRAD = 10mm @ 100 meters whereas 1/4 MOA = 1/4 inch @ 100 yards.

I own an HW98 and absolutely love it.

I also like the HW57!!! Handy little gun...very accurate! Have two...one in .177 and one in .22. Enjoy my friend... enjoy! I like a smaller scope on my Hw57 guns. 2-7x32 is perfect on these guns!

Nice gun vin,you are right you only get what you pay for

I bought a victoptics scope on AliExpress an sold it on, I have had vector optics veyron scopes (which a lot of reviewers rate) but I found the eyebox to be tiny.. so got shot of those as well. Most scopes that come out of China all come from sun vector optics factory.. and if you buy a discovery scope the manual has the westhunter logo “watermarked/faintly printed” into it

I was wondering what the difference was between that and a 77, now I know thanks 👍

Never handled an HW57, will be interesting to watch you put it through its paces on the range.

Does anyone know how to clean the barrel on this type of under lever rifle?

I have an HW57. Did lots of research on all HW models. Brilliant rifle, very pleased with it.

I did consider the 57 because of it's lighter weight, but went 97 ,know what you're saying about the new stocks but actually they handle very nicely and that flat surface is much nicer to fit a sling attachment..can't wait to see how it performs, don't think I'd want to let it go either once I got my hands on it 👍👍

Great looking Rifle Vin, I might be taking a file to the foresight blade to thin it somewhat (once you've paid for it) and reversing the rearsight plate to the Vee notch, if it does ? I think my HW35 did, or am I thinking about the Mercury I used to own ?

Looking forward to seeing how the 57 performs Vin. I have the same scope. Its performs great for what it cost. take care.

Hi Vince! I,m looking forward to see you shooting the 57 😁 The 99S and 57 are the only model HW springers i don't have in my collection yet. I have a few MTC scopes and a Hawke airmax compact that came with a big wheel and for the FT shooters it will be certainly good to have but for hunting and target work at home i don't like a big thing like that on my scopes. I hope the 57 shoot as well as the 99s. Cheers!

The loading port is very easy to remove to clean the barrel 👍🏻

My 57 in .177 likes H&N FTT super H point and excite econ II

I bought the 57 in .177, was so impressive l got the .22 as well, kept the open sights on the .22 kept in a slim shot gun slip. Very pointable, love the loading port, down up and pellet in👍🏻good value for money and as accurate as all my other HW rifles

I also want that gun in my collection it looks really light and handy just like my hw 50s

Hi, Vin. Lovely rifle and I’m looking forward to seeing it in action 😊 I’ve a couple of the vector optics brand scopes myself and I’m impressed with the quality. I really like there hight adjustable mounts to. I’m curious how your going to clean the barrel with the restrictive barrel access. Only asking as I might have to get one myself 😂😂 later mate

Vince I live in the U.S in Pennsylvania and I hate where I live because I'm into shooting airguns alot and around here I have no permissions and no where to shoot with out being bothered by neighbors calling police or somebody seeing me shooting and calling police saying there's a man shooting a rifle and cops don't know if it's real firearm or airgun so they come in full force with there AR 15 out. So I have to be alert everywhere I go trying not to be seen cause people are so nosy. Most of the time I have to shoot out of my truck so I'm not seen. And it gets me so mad because all these UA-cam videos I watch almost every person I see have great places and permissions to shoot at.

Well said , good advice as usual

Great advice there Vince.

Agree Vince, there can't be much wrong with an used quality springer but with a used PCP a lot can be wrong. 👍

Good advice there vin ,I'm fortunate enough that with a background in Agro-forestry permissions have found me,but networking is definitely the best way to get permissions as you've described even volunteering for beating on shoots will get you known..totally agree about 2nd hand rifles in fact this yr is the 1st time I ever purchased a new weihrauch my 97 ..wish I could have your luck finding such fine rifles at those prices 😂👍👍

Unfortunately, PCPs are like the boy racer world of air guns, and come with the same problems when buying secondhand. There are also some very good gun modifiers out there, so it is just buyer beware. The old springers are usually much more robust and like you said, some good bargains to be had out there. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Good advice vin but one thing you left out , when you get a good permission the best way to shoot it is on your own . I’ve had experience myself where I have tried to help someone to get experience shooting and taken them with me and the next thing you know they’ve gone to your permission without you and asked the farmer also for permission and because he’s your friend the farmer agrees , you then realise all the rabbits are being shot when you’re not there . I know plenty shooters who have made the same mistake and have also lost permissions because of there guests shooting something they had no permission to shoot. So I prefer to shoot alone and you always shoot more when You’re on your own .

Super advice vin,yep cold calling dressed as rambo does not work,i use the 16gr dead centres in my agt vixen they are spot on,jsb 15.89 are good but suffer from poor quality control.great video cheers

Hi Vin hope your well. I’ve just been testing the Dead Centre pellets 1.77 8.7 g. They work very well in my HW 97 and FX Drs tested out to 40 yards so far with around 10mm groups, they appear cleaner than the H&N 8s & FTT and look more like the QYS but a little longer. Be interesting to see how you get on with them. Have a great day Clive

I like the look of the BSA GRT for myself. Would you recommend it?

I've got a nikko sterling mount master 3x9x50 on my HW98, it's only a 65 pound scope but does a good job.

Two excellent rifles - choose the HW77 and save 200 qiud!

Totally agree with you Vin. Should not shoot live quarry at ridiculous distances with sub 12 ft/lb rifles Yet I have see many Brit UA-cam vids of irresponcible types that do, and they claim it is 12 ft/lbs which I find dubious. At the end of the day it can be cruel.

Makes a refreshing change to watch an honest review these days, so many cheaters out there.
