Title: HW 98......just a laser like tack hammer!!
Post by: palonej on November 05, 2014, 06:42:22 PM
Shooting around with my Motorheaded 98. The Master installed a Vortek SHO kit in her along with gobs of magic dust couple of months back. I had an HO kit in her, also done by Scott, that performed flawlessly for 40,000 rounds.
I have around 3,000 rounds on the new kit and I can't believe how totally stupid accurate this girl is!!
She'll shoot FTTs in 4.51 or .52, JSB 7.87 and 8.4 or CPLs amazingly!!
Just an all around fantastic rifle!
I had to give Scott and this sweetheart a huge thumbs up!!
I shot a real nice super tight 9 shot group yesterday at 30 yards from the bench that had that stupid grin totally glued to my face!! Was going for a 10 shot group, but the ninth was a bit left and I refused to shoot the tenth!!
Had to share!

I love my R11, and it hasn't been tuned. Had a lot of spring noise and shot cycle was not good until about 2000 shots and now it is a dream. Just think how good it would be if Scott put a little magic dust to her. :)

Nice shooting with that HW98!  That thing shoots like a fixed barrel rifle with that kind of accuracy.  I need to get one of these someday.  I've told myself I'll get one after Niko does.  ;D

I hope Motorhead has some of that magic dust left for my TX tune. I like the 98 a lot and great shooting. I just blew my BB gun budget for a good while. When I recover another springer my be in order.

I think the 98/R11 is a phenomenal target rifle.  And when you consider the fact that it's a break-barrel, it becomes even more amazing.
Is it the sleeved barrel?  That's really the only functional difference between an R11 and an R9.  I know that when I swapped out the barrel on my Marksman to the sleeved 98 barrel accuracy (which already rivaled my TX) improved and she also started loving the 10.34 JSB's, whereas before she preferred the 8.4's.  With the 10.34's the R11 will now outshoot my TX.  Just barely, but that's all the difference in the world when punching holes.

Add the custom adjustable stock and she becomes sweeter.

The R11 may be my favorite .177 rifle, but do not discount the Beeman R1 Santa Rosa. I just got one and she shoot nice. I think my favorite rifles are Weihrauch made. :)

Post by: palonej on November 21, 2014, 04:33:53 PM
You talked me into it Paul!!
I literally cannot say enough about this rifle!!
I recently gave AA heavies a try. She slings them at an avg of 830 FPS and these pellets are great in the wind!! The wind here in Jersey has been brutal for the last month!!
The group and little army guy were shot at 55 yards with a nasty left to right wind!
This rifle shocks the snot out of me every time I shoot her!!
Scott did an AMAZING tune on her with a Vortek SHO kit.....super smooth with a quick and sweet shot cycle!!
I have some awesome springers......but this one is an absolute gem!!

I got a couple of their numbers Jess!!!
Did I tell you I lit a match with this rifle????? At 25 yards??? In front of a few fellow GTA dudes???? That all let out a sigh of exasperation KNOWING they'd never hear the end of it???
If not, let me know and I'll tell you aaaaaaaaall about it!!!
