Title: Was looking to get a HW50 too...
Post by: RatRacer on April 18, 2015, 04:22:04 PM
I was debating on a HW50 to slot in between my R9 and HW30 for the last couple months. While perusing some ads, I happened to read the bottom of description of a sold Edgun ad, that contained other interesting items besides the pup.
I struck a deal for this little, less than 100 shot, hens tooth:

HW57

Saw my first 57 not a month ago at our monthly FT shoot. NICE rifle with handling & weight very similar to a HW50.
Nice score right there !!

SUPER!  I love it!  This is the first I have ever heard about this model.   It must be new???  Congratulations, it's a beauty.

Thanks gents.
Will post some of my own pics when it lands in my hands next week. The HW57 is not new, just not sold by US suppliers.  Think of it as a 7lb version of a HW77/97, with a HW50 powerplant.
