    For a better balanced rifle, I would suggest fitting a 2-7x32 or 3- 9 x32. , heavier bigger scopes you will find they cause the rifle to bank left or right causing shot to be out of alignment. Nice video

    Lighten the trigger & clean the barrel it should be putting pellet on pellet at that range.

    Trigger could do with a fettle, the sears in the mechanism are under stress from the main spring, so lightening would be benificial, that said you can only go so far before the safety fails to engauge (and /or) it becomes too light as to be dangerous .. A strip down AND a sear polish would also reap rewards.. Also, check stock bolts and scope mount screws to make sure they ain't come loose with vibration

    I've heard that these rifles seem to like H&N FT Trophy pellets try them well worth a go as at that distance you should be get far better groups.

    Yesterday i spent solid 2 hours shooting can confirm springers are very fussy about everything after about 40 minutes added folded tea towel under my elbow as it was resting on kitchen work top and that changed how often i hit my smaller spinner i also noticed at very begining i must be little over excited and after 10-15 minutes it relaxes me and results improve . I love it for me it is relaxation during those two hours i didnt need to drink go toilet smoke or do anything else brain off mode 😅😅

    Great rifle mate 👍 Understand you like the scope but mounted on the little 99S it's overkill. An Airmax 2-7 or 3-9 would be way better for that rifle. I own almost all HW springer models and with all i'm able to shoot 1 cm. groups on 30 yards. Put your hand on the bag and the stock very light in your hand with very little pressure on your shoulder. Just let it glide...concentrate only on the target and crosshair and and build up the pressure on the trigger without exact knowing when it fires. If you think now i'm gonna pull the trigger you'll get bad results. To big scope magnification will also have a negative effect because you'll see every heartbeat in the scope. Try it buddy, and i promise better results.
    Thanks for showing this great HW. Lighter JSB exact pellets with 5.52mm. head size will work fine....Forget alloy pellets. Cheers!

    A relaxed hold and some other pellets and should be a different rifle.

    @Getting-Older 6 місяців тому +2

    Can confirm that my 99s doesn't get on with the Hades but does like JSB Diablo, QYS, H&N FTT, H&N8.
    It also likes a more relaxed hold especailly on the foregrip. I spend quite some time zeroing, part of the fun for me and I find shooting so relaxing.

    Hi .another great review
    The gun is new and is clearly still dieseling slightly hence the smell and the poor accuracy.this isn't anything you are doing wrong .
    The scope is lovely but 50 is on the big side as the HW 99 doesn't have a high comb .so you raise your head off the stock to see through the scope .
    Bisley pellets have never been good for me in anything possible they are ok in a PCP.
    H&N esp the eco ones or rws hobby are normally a good place to start.
    Finding the right pellet will transform how it shoots.
    As for stress ,stress is not good for accuracy but shooting is good for 😬stress.
    This is not a criticism as I like your Chanel,just an observation.
    you are shooting it like it's a PCP .it needs to be shot slightly different to get the best out of it .
    I think you are going to like this when it's settled down ,may take a tin of pellets to do so.

    • @tvm-reviews
      @tvm-reviews  6 місяців тому +2

      Absolutely not. I want constructive criticism. I’m not unhappy with the accuracy. I know it’ll get better. I do need to get to a range get some real life feedback. But it’s a great rifle. And the main thing is I really love shooting it! Better groups will come. And hey…. Im shooting it better than my Crosman silver fox out of the box haha

  • @paulfoster5432
    @paulfoster5432 5 місяців тому +2

    With spring rifles,
    It's not a good idea to have the barrel aiming up as you flick the barrel shut,
    As you can risk an odd pellet either unseating itself, and trapping it in the breach,or in the worst case, the pellet could fall out,
    And you end up dry firing empty,
    Which is very bad,
    I've seen it happen.
    You should always keep the barrel at least level or aiming down, whilst loading a spring rifle.
    Cheers Paul 👍

    I found out that ots best to keep the front sights on the barrel. Because of harmonics. My hw30s shoots way better like that.
    And if the air rifle its new, its going to take a couple hundren shots for it to be good.

  • @andrewblakesley4202
    @andrewblakesley4202 4 місяці тому

    Recoiling airguns, particularly light untuned break barrels, do not like a rest. They prefer a gentle near open hand on the fore end and a light control of the pistol grip. Recoiling air guns have a slow lock time during which you'll experience the double rebound of the piston. It is challenging to master their accuracy potential. The gun needs to recoil and the hold must be consistent to get the best from it.

    You really need a selection of the most popular pellets to try. It's not unusual at all for a rifle to refuse to group with some brands and single hole with others. Having said that a light piston and a short stroke like the 99 will probably favour lighter pellets under 15 grains.
