I love springers I currently have a modified 22 hw97 and a modified 177 hw98 and a modified 177 tx200hc love em all 2 years ago I wanted a PCP so bought a 177 hw100s absolute crackin gun smooth cocking action and stunning trigger but after about 2 months of shooting it I got bored with it it was to easy to shoot accurately I prefer a challenge and when back to Springer for me much much more satisfying to shoot I'll stick with springers from now on anyone can shoot a PCP accurately but not all can shoot a Springer
I have a hw100 (bullpup in .177, RATWorks tuned) but it's a tool for pest control. If I want to shoot for the joy of shooting I reach for my 97. Good PCPs are superb for poking holes in things at 40m but really quite boring to shoot.
Thats such a lovely message. I've got a fair bit of abuse and criticism about my shooting videos in the last year, and hearing these messages is really nice. Thank you.
Hey your getting a bit too good with these springers buddy, great to see your progress over the last couple of weeks. You’ve relaxed more and you’ve found your technique and let the gun do the work and you’ve now nailed it. Good shooting keep it up.
That is such a fantastic message. Thank you so much for your support and kindness. I would never have thought that getting back into spring guns again would be so worthwhile. Its really been amazing fun, and I so surprised by the reception the videos have got. Thanks again.
I wish Crackshot would open a shop near me. Atlanta GA. Would be close enough...........😁👍 Fantastic shooting. I believe mastering the springer will only make you better with anything else. You show that rifle professionally. Nobody could do better 💯
@@southwestshooters That's what's sad in America. Rarely can we actually hold the rifle before purchasing. So we greatly rely on gentleman such as yourself to provide honest opinions before we order online. But we can go to Walmart and buy a high powered powder burner with our groceries. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video, the rifle model is "HW 97 KT" (T for "thumb hole"). I have one with a wood stock, love this rifle! For me this pellet performs very will in the barrel: "Crosman Premier Domed .177 Caliber 10.5 Grain Pellet".
Hi Chris.If I ever buy a springer that’s the one for me.Always really liked the look,and the quality of the hw97k.I would go for the synthetic stock too,very practical👍🏻 Great video fella. Atb👍🏻😀
Dr elphick…something interesting you realise is no matter how good the springer the underleaver is always more accurate than the break barrel…maybe a good video😉…good shooting again,another excellent springer…now try air arms springer …👍
That was some good shooting, really good 👍 I hold springers like that too and just let them do their thing, I'v heard that's the best way 😃 I'm looking to get a springer again as well and this is defo on the shortlist. Nice video 👏👌

I have recently bought a 97 KT also. Mine is brand-new and only has about 400 shots, so far. I am new to airgun shooting, at 64. I could have perhaps bought a much lighter PCP as my first air rifle, but I need the exercise LOL. I think it really flatters an average shooter, with its accuracy. As once it was zeroed in, I was actually getting shots into the target at 25 yards and even getting some quite nice groups. Because of its weight, I doubt it would be as accurate shooting from the shoulder, in a standing position, unless you have a particularly good upper body strength. I’m not particularly weak, as I can do pullups, but holding this gun against your shoulder any length of time, is quite a feat. Would I change it? Definitely not; I get a kick from its kick and the cocking and loading process. Certainly an experience you don’t get with a PCP. I admire anyone who can shoot a Springer, as well as a PCP. Hopefully with enough practice, I will be able to Shoot, to competition standard, with this brilliant rifle.
Great rifle, wrong scope. You need a compact model scope on a 97 to get better access to the loading port. The Hawke Air max compact series are perfect for the 97. Cheers!
Can't beat a 97 for the money. I have the traditional sporter in .177 and it's pellet on pellet out to 35~40m. The only "tuning" I've done is to lighten the second stage on the trigger, it doesn't twang or boing, cocks like a dream and the trigger is as good as any I've ever used. I cannot see any reason to put in a drop-in kit or change it in any way (other than I might refinish the stock over winter this year because I dislike walnut stain on beech with varnish, I'd rather have a neutral satin oil finish that looks like beech). Beautiful guns.
Chris.. I have an experiment I need you to do. Get a set up in very calm condtions. Shoot 10 shots at 3 different distances from a bench dialing turrets. Then do the exact same thing again, exact same set up, same distances using hold over.
Seems the machining from weihrauch is maybe not what it used to be or perhaps I got a "friday" rifle, whatever the case the spring broke at about 2500 shots. When I stripped it the piston face was shagged as well, completely cracked which likely caused the broken spring. Replaced both and put another 500 shots through it before stripping it again only to see the piston face cracked again just not as bad. I made a custom face for the seal to see if the transfer port was the problem and sure enough the edges of the transfer port were chewing out the piston face. Under magnification the machine work is pretty rough to be honest. I'm not bagging weihrauch, I love this rifle as it shoots excellent , and I mostlly shoot between 75 and 120 metres with it. I've done a lot of my own mods to it and it is nothing like the original twangy factory version, but you shouldn't have to do this to a nz $1500 rifle. Luckily I enjoy modding things but no doubt some folks will be stuck with a problem that they can't fix themselves. I've only had this rifle for three months but it's had about 5000 shots through it so far which is likely more than most people would do in a year I guess.
@@southwestshooters thanks. Yeah I'm fortunate that my shooting area allows for some long range shooting. I'm only shooting a can at 120 , not trying to shoot tight groups or anything crazy. I have three ranges set up so that I can at 42 , 75 , and out to 160 metres. I haven't tried past 120 yet and it has to be a really calm day. It's pretty cool though dialing between the the 3 ranges and getting hits then dialing back down. It's a good test for seeing how well a scope tracks to. It's pretty cool to shoot a can at 120 , see it move, then hear the impact. ☺️
@@southwestshooters no I'm in New Zealand so we are unregulated on springers over here. It shoots h&n ftt at around 15 lbs and jsb exact around 17 lbs at 950 fps in 177. It's about 30 odd fps up from factory at the moment with a few mods. Pcp comes under fac though.
Can never go wrong with a 97K. Monster of a springer, do you know what tune is inside of it? Also, I would love to see chronograph results with airguns you test in the future to see how consistent they are.
get more air in the cylinder and less spring behind it ! air compresses faster with more volume you can then cut 4 or more coils from a standard spring getting the same power with hardly any recoil , and mor accuracy ..
I have the HW97 and the HW98 both in .22. I shoot both at 100 yards at 2 inch spinners and a little larger targets out to 120yds. Both have vortek tune kits and both are very accurate and on a calm day there is not much I can not hit with both, I have not had the 97 too long and maybe it is the trigger adjustment or something but I seem to do just a little better with the 98.
@@southwestshooters Lol I wish I was that good. I do almost all my shooting from bags. I do my share of missing as well but even those are very close. Seems the guns are very accurate but once the pellet is out of the barrel it is at the mercy of the wind. When it gets a little warmer out I hope to post some video.
I ordered the same gun you’re holding from krale (minus any special tuning) and it came with the muzzle brake/latch assembly horribly misaligned. It was about 3 degrees off the centerline of the gun. I sent it back and received another as a replacement and THAT one was misaligned about 1-2 degrees off center. I decided to keep the second one since it didn’t seem to affect the function of the latch quite as much but it’s still a little rough to latch/unlatch the cocking arm due to the latch misalignment. You’d think it would be an easy fix but the muzzle brake is actually glued onto the barrel and the only way to get it off is with high heat. I could do this but I’m unsure about a good method to re attach it and I don’t trust the single grub screw to hold it in place considering the recoil of the gun.
Im surprised the hw 77 as not come into the conversation it was the first and won most of the competitions dislodging the fwb sport and also the prosport just wondering
I had one and I love it, the best of the best BUT Sir can you tell me how and where I can buy just a stock like your gun please... I love that stock.. thank you 👍
Intrigueingly nice coins or medals in them there front stock screw holes. Want some like them for mine... What are they and How do they fit over the screw heads?? Try less wind and 50 meters Chris; this rifle can do that ! BTW did'nt you find it rather front heavy?
My blue laminate 97 is TBT tuned as well, great shooting rifle. You’re getting some great groups👍 I love my PCPs but the springer gives that extra bit of satisfaction when you get it bang on. 👍👍
How to have one in blue laminate awesome rifle can I get a tune this year, and why does nobody mention in their reviews about the little swish noise it makes as you push the cocking lever back up,love it 👍🏼
Hi Chris. Thanks for the video buddy It was a good watch. I do however have a question please. I was always told never to rest the stock of a springer air rifle on anything because the recoil will cause accuracy Issues. But In your video you are not supporting the stock at all In your hand. But Instead you are resting It on a bean bag gun rest. I've just bought a SFS tuned HW99s imp, so will I be able to rest the stock on a soft surface and not experience any accuracy Issues? Just thought I'd ask. Thanks 👍
Hi Mark. Thank you for your kind message. Let's put it this way - if I can do it, so can you! You actually see me revise my technique in the video. Right at the start when I shoot the 'second point of interest' in the splatter target, you will hear me say, "I've found my technique." Here is the truth of the matter, you have to ignore everything, including this reply (!!!!) and do what works best for you. I have tried several ways, and what you see in this video is me essentially discovering what works well for me. I guess it's a start, it might work for you? But there is some truth in the concept that you want the gun to be able to recoil...I am convinced of this. It needs to be able to buckle and shake naturally. The fact I've placed it on a bag is virtually irrelevant, it could be on any soft surface.
The best thing about "springers" is they can be fettled with to increase the power not like the fx and other pcps that are locked to UK draconian power levels
Get some kaiser . the absolute most professional pellet made. I shot 5/16 groups with my 97k .20 cal with kaiser match grade 11.42 grains at 40 yrs. Sold it. They have to be rebuilt to much. And it's to expensive. Pain in the ass. I'm keep my cz 457 varmint in 22lr. 😄😄. Good luck. The sprinters are fun.
I am sorry. I haven't been well! Can I be honest? All spring guns that I know of top out at around 500 pounds! Let me have a look tomorrow and I'll get back to you.
It wasn't... I was being a little bit extra. The pellet fell into the gap in the bench and I thought I might have damaged the skirt pulling it out. But I didn't!
No. I don't "see what you mean", in any respect regarding your misinformed statement. How could possibly infer this from the video? Please offer something more than silly, pointless comments.
I commented on one of your videos when you did a comparrison test on a cheaper pcp against a hw 100 or 110 and i am last thing i am not is misinformed im speaking from experiance ive been shooting air rifles for the last fifty years if hw guns are so good why was the rifle you was selling tuned .if they are so good for the price your paying for them in the first place
@@johnowen9564 maybe you can't shoot? Doing something for 50 years doesn't mean you'll be good at it? If you can't shoot a factory standard HW gun then I think it's not the gun that's the problem....

Of course I'm selling guns, but I think your suggestion that the people who are buying them "don't know any better" is potentially a little offensive to all the people that have brought them on the basis of these videos?

I am sorry. I haven't been well! Can I be honest? All spring guns that I know of top out at around 500 pounds! Let me have a look tomorrow and I'll get back to you.
@@southwestshooters glad your feeling better. A huge tree hit our house so we had a shite weekend as well. Only just got water n power on
@@southwestshooters I pray for a fast complete recovery for you.
God bless you brother 🙏
Most expensive springer that I can think of is the AA pro sport - £700/£750
Where is this on there website ? I don't see it for the price you quote ?£350 quid ?
I think it's probably sold. Thanks for the subscription!
È un laser...👍
Wat was damaged on ur pellet???
It wasn't... I was being a little bit extra. The pellet fell into the gap in the bench and I thought I might have damaged the skirt pulling it out. But I didn't!
Sir this gun is .22 or 177
177
I think your air rifle spring is not much recoil because 177 version spring not need much more harder to cock.This 177 pellet is light
Mistakes yes! Flyers r caused by human errors!
thats the gun ive got ..exactly the same ..thinking of selling it
Why?! It's awesome!
@@southwestshooters i get bored ..had it a year only shot 50 pellets through it ..sold the r10 last week .gonna get a hw100kt
@@joebloggs2228 the hw100 is a superior gun to the R10. Excellent work.
Thats £100cheaper then retail
Trash gun for it's price no excuse
see what i mean hw rifles rubbish unless you have tuned
No. I don't "see what you mean", in any respect regarding your misinformed statement. How could possibly infer this from the video? Please offer something more than silly, pointless comments.
I commented on one of your videos when you did a comparrison test on a cheaper pcp against a hw 100 or 110 and i am last thing i am not is misinformed im speaking from experiance ive been shooting air rifles for the last fifty years if hw guns are so good why was the rifle you was selling tuned .if they are so good for the price your paying for them in the first place
@@johnowen9564 maybe you can't shoot? Doing something for 50 years doesn't mean you'll be good at it? If you can't shoot a factory standard HW gun then I think it's not the gun that's the problem....
@@southwestshooters your just selling guns to people who dont know any different you making excuses about my shooting capability wont alter the fact that the gun had been tuned so that you shooting from a rest could get a reasonable group at 30yds
@@johnowen9564 pipe down. Of course I'm selling guns, but I think your suggestion that the people who are buying them "don't know any better" is potentially a little offensive to all the people that have brought them on the basis of these videos? I don't care, beyond calling you out here, what you think in the slightest. You sound fairly ignorant, to me at least. Still, I'm sure that HW will listen to your feedback, and everyone who has brought guns on the basis of my videos will return them immediately - simply because a chap talked about it on the comment section of a UA-cam video.
Very nice! What scope are you using?
