It can be such a bitter/sweet kind of thing. I finally found a local air gun shooter (rare up here) who wanted to get into high end under lever springers, so he and I did some trading and selling and he now owns most all of my AA and most of our HW under levers. Those guns were all as good as it gets in springers, but I could no longer deal with the weight. They were just getting to be too much for me in my old age and I wasn't shooting them. We did keep the one HW97 that hubby loves to shoot, but he prefers our PCPs, these days. I feel pretty good about it because I know those guns were going to to another springer fan who would appreciate them and now all I have to baby are my lighter break barrel HWs and my two FWB Sports. Those were the only springers I was shooting, anyway. Yeah Joanie,I sold off my HW and AA underlevers a year after buying new and tuning them. It was very easy to figure out I shot my HW35E's, HW50 and HW95's way more.I'm glad I shot/tuned all the Underlever's out there to better understand what I liked best. Additional weight and load fiddling were my negatives.- Long Live the Break Barrel .
