Nice long brown box containing a thing of beauty!!! Just holding this one brings that silly grin to my face!!
Beech thumbhole SS look 97 in 177!! Oh my!!
Scott hooked her up beautifully for me....as usual!!
What a sweet shooter!! Only put about 100 down the tube, but she feels awesome and shoots straight!!
First group at 30 second at 50 yards. Think I'll keep her for a while!!
-
Congrats Joe! 8) I gave up trying to keep up with you! ;D
Maybe I should learn how to play pool..... ??? ::)
-
Thanks George!!! I give lessons bro!!!
It's nice having one addiction feed the other!! Played a tourney last night. I placed and made enough for a pellet order. Sweet!!
-
Very pretty gun Joe and nice groups.
-
Thanks Daniel!! Pics really don't do it justice. Real pretty rifle.
-
;D yaa but can you shoot the head off of one of those little plastic soldiers you were using last week at 100 yards yet huh huh ??? ;D really sweet gun I'll be more than willing to drive down to your place and bring it home for a long term test and evaluation. Also bring it to my personal Reverend to be blessed and hopefully drive away those pesky evil demons that attacked your other gun. Promise to keep it safe for as long as necessary ;) ;) ;) ;D

Joe,
Having handled BOTH the 56TH and 97K which both have the thumb hole stock and very similar design .... IMO no contest as to which is the finer rifle. ( Yup you readers can fill in the blank as to which that is ??? ) Joe knows !!
Enjoy it my friend, she is a real sweetheart ;D
-
( Yup you readers can fill in the blank as to which that is ??? ) Joe knows !!
I'm not touching that.

But that 97 is a thing of beauty.

Beautiful rifle Joe, and sweet groups! Congrat's! ;D

I know most say the HW is finished better and we all like the Rekord, but come on....how do they shoot? I'd think it would be the sledge as it limits the recoil factor. Joe?? Any thoughts? Just seems hard as it also depends, highly, on feeding the barrel with a correct pellet, so.....????
Or is it about the other 56 that had the failure?
-
Another one ?!?! But you just GOT a new gun! hee hee! i just sounded like my ex-wife .
BTW Joe, got a box of strike anywhere matches today.
-
Doesn't look like it has a very big reservoir. ;)
Mike

Lookin good Joe!
I know it's gotta be a tough question to answer, but out of all your plinkers (including your newest acquisition), which are your favorites based on personal preference? They all shoot good... you've proven that. :) Just curious which ones you find yourself enjoying more.
-
Nice new rifle.
Richard
-
;D ;D So looked at the poorly posed picture again and have come to the conclusion that sweetie is just way to pretty to be laying around in Jersey. That is a really gorgeous rifle good luck with her Joe

Come on Mike!!!! There's a small fill probe hidden in the stock!! NOT!!!

Impossible to answer. The TX is as close to a perfect gun as I've seen and shot. We have a lot of my son's and nephew's friends who've never shot anything come over. Within a couple of minutes they are hitting everything with the TX. The 56 is almost the same.....almost.
The 56 at long range is absolutely awesome.
The 98 I feel is the most accurate and my favorite. I find myself shooting this one the most. I just shot a target for the bench rest competition in the Target Gate that literally blew my mind!! Little tougher to shoot for beginners than the TX.
Just sent bout 100 down the tube of the 97, but what a quality rifle this is!! Couldn't believe how well she grouped brand new......with a bit of Motörhead Magic!! Just an absolutely beautiful rifle! When my nephew and I un boxed it we were blown away. Little tougher to cock than the TX, but a dream to shoot. Awesome stock!!

I believe I have some female shoe shopping to do Steve!!
-
Quack, what a beauty
-
If this rifle can make a fish quack it's gotta be a keeper!!!
-
Very Nice Joe! I went with the blued TH stock one myself. That SS finish ties the Butt plate in real nice. ;D
-
Thanks Dustin!!! What a sweet rifle bro!!! Went with the SS look cause I wanted something a little different. I am loving this girl!!
-
Congrats on the new shooter.....sure is pretty.
Happy Shootin to Ya!
Petey

That's a real nice looking Rifle. I like the Thumbhole stock... would love to have one in .22 cal... maybe some day.

Maybe Joe will post a picture of his bicep, or not :P

Was getting ready to send an e mail to Weirhauch letting them know how impressed with the 97 I was. Did the same thing last month for the 98 and got a response from Hans W. himself. Got home tonight and had a package from Germany with a note from Hans.....yes we're on a first name basis!!! ;D
What an awesome company!!!
-
Nice one Joe. There is an old bank near here for sale. I figure the vault should be just big enough for your collection. ;D ;D ;D
Tom
-
I just need a small vault Tom.....now for the blonde's shoe collection.......different story!!
;D ;D
-
The price of guns don't compare with blond that likes/needs shoes, oh my.
-

Got to spend some quality time with the new lady yesterday. Shooting ok, but not as accurate as I thought. Figured she's brand new and has to settle down.....NOT!!
This brain surgeon WOP was so excited Wednesday to shoot it that I did not tighten scope mount to rail sufficiently. Ugh.
Tightened it up and guess what???? Ummmmmm she can flat out shoot!!
I've tried 5 different pellets and she likes them all!!
What a sweet shooting lady!!!
This was 10 shots at 50 yards. Bull is some sized. This is with about 300 down the tube.
When your scope doesn't move......the gun will shoot better. Thought I would give you guys this one accuracy secret! You don't have to thank me!!! Ugh
-
Dummy .... Sort of like not tightening the screw apart pool sticks huh :o
Good shooting ...
BTW, is it still a tad buzzy ? or is it settling down to a thump yet ???
-
Good analogy Scott!!! DOH!!! What a dope!!!
I have about 300 thru her now and she is just getting smoother Scott!! Hardly any buzz now at all!! Very easy to keep sight pic thru firing cycle. If I didn't pull that shot high that would've been a GREAT 50 yard group!! She seems to really like the 7.87 JSB......fav of the 98.....but she shoots all I've tried great!!
Awesome shooter!!!
Thank you so much Scott!! Awesome job on this one!!!
Also super quiet!!!
-
Good looking outfit, Joe. Glad this one is performing for you without any breakdowns. I like the TH stock. My '97 is a great shooter, although with the regular stock. Mine likes JSB's also. Happy shooting!
-
Thanks Tom!! Can't tell you how nice this rifle feels and sounds!! So smooth!!
-

Geeze, that's a big chapter in my airgun adventures "scope mounts to rail"
-

8)Next question what glass I know the rifle is sweet but if you can't see the target how ya gonna hit it gotta remember some of us are old timers :o in the very truest sense of the word
-
See the stuff you learn here Bulb???? Priceless!!! ;D ;D ;D
I put a real sweet Sidewinder 6-24x56 that I got for an awesome price!! My starling assassin friend Chris steered me to an awesome dealer!!! Used BKL single strap silver mounts. What a nice set up Don......IF you tighten the durn mounts up!!! Ugh
-

The Sidewinder sounds sweet.

Without a doubt....all of the above!! Very cool rifle!!
-
Been dragging around lately on the forum. I have to say the 97 IS ONE FINE GUN. I LOVE THAT WOOD TH AND THE S/S LOOK IS NOT THAT BAD AT ALL.
I know the syn TH is much lighter than the laminated 97k .20 k I have.
Great looking, shooting dead nut accurate guns.
-
Hey Fangster!!! I am loving this lady!!! Shoots real strong....7.3 gr at 965 fps.....and dead straight!! Real nice gun!!
-
Shes hot to trot!! Packing up 2 more guns out of the pac to be shipped next week.
Hate to see them go but I can not shoot all of them. There seems tobe nothing of interest out there that just pulls at me now to buy.
The interest seems to be on all the new members of the pac. ;)
