I probably shoot my 97 the least of my guns. It's heavy, only moderately powered and not as easy to use as a break barrel, so for whatever reason it just doesn't do "IT" for me. It's even been up for sale a few times. I accidentally found this cocking aid on ebay and rolled the dice on it. Much to my pleasant surprise the piece was made really nice and fit well. After installing it I found myself shooting the gun longer than I used to. It became obvious that the unsure hold on the skinny smooth cocking lever was subconsciously detracting from my enjoyment. I'm really happy with this simple addition. It made a world of difference for me.
Very neat!Is that the elusive laminated green stock by any chance?Beautiful guns, if I didn't already have the two HW97's (blue laminated .22 & synthetic .177) I'd probably nag you on when you were selling again That grip does look interesting. I just may have to get a pair. Thanks for sharing.
That 97 sure is a stallion ,.always room for modifications . Perfect setup , scope position and hight. Work of art , nice job. When it comes time for another air rifle a scoped 97 is my next . The underlever grip has set screws to position?

I normally don't like anything that'll leave permanent scars but the grip makes enough difference to make it worthwhile. Plus I don't have plans on removing the grip and I could always replace the lever if I had to.
Ron,These are what I use:https://www.mcmaster.com/screws/set-screws/nonmarring-set-screws/metric-stainless-steel-nylon-tip-set-screws/Non-maring set screws. They hold tight too. -YPS FWIW- They are available in ally steel too.
Glad I read this topic. The info on the non marring set screws is new to me and I will use them in the future. Thanks Yogi.
