Broke the thing out. What a fine gun. Totally different than the TX but for the good. TH stock is not cheep made. Cocking is smooth. Very slight twang. I know it will get worse but no big deal for me to correct. I have aftermarket piston seals and springs less the guides ready.
Gun is already grouping at 20 yards. I put the new style centerpoint 4-16x40AOIR WITH YOU KNOW me , the RWS 1 piece mount on it.
So far this gun has exceeded my expectations.
Looking even more forward for the HW97 .20 NOW!! Used or not.

You're right when you say it's totally different than the TX. I like shooting both. Both are spot on accurate and a pleasure to shoot. But really hard describe or quantify how it shoots differently. It just does.
If you do pick up a .20, I'll be curious how you like/compare it to your .177.

Am I the only one seeing a problem here?

?? PICS!!!!! Please! Not that I don't trust the Fangster!!!

Glad you're liking the new addition Fang!! I'll be ordering the stainless look with the wood thumbhole next week. Interested in your findings bro.

WHITEFANG · « **Reply #7 on:** July 16, 2013, 11:08:45 PM »

Yes no pics!! The thing has been in the truck since noon? Waited long enough to just brake it out of the box.
Pics later. Shooting it is all I had on my mind. TH is great. The hw97 .20 is going to be a treat.

PS:
Gun is not smoking at all!!!!

WHITEFANG · « **Reply #9 on:** July 17, 2013, 07:50:32 AM »

I was to busy drooling to take pics. Setting in the truck all afternoon was hard on me.lol
I will get some tonight. The gun does look much better in the hand than in a pic.
You know me got springs and seals already for both 97s.
Well balance gun in The K.
Trust me, it has happened. Sold 5 to replace 4 and still in the hole.lol 1 more to sell and know more to buy. Just got to feed all the rest. Only good thing out of all of this was plenty of scopes and mounts.

Gone crazy!!!

Hmmmm.............. not gonna say it............... not gonna say it............... yes I am, Told ya so !!! LOL

I never doubted you one bit. Another German workhorse!! I can not believe the way the thing with the TH THAT FOR THE WEIGHT IT IS SO BALANCED. Just I was told. Just got to used to that button on the cocking rod. No big deal and really a good set up so far. THANKS!!!
By the way' the HW is easier to load even in .177 due to the design of the nipple. I did find that the cphp are snug in the breech. I have some light pellets that I will break out and try tonight plus I have the JSBS Diabolo Exact .177 Cal, 8.4 Grains COMMING. Wally world did stock the cp 7.9 but stopped and only had the heavies. Going by Pass pro later to see what they have. I still have to go thru my stock and see what else I have.
After 100 shots I will go into this thing and do some work to it. Chrony before and after.
The HW 97 green .20 is to have already been worked but I will check it out for my own reasons.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

Sorry, Fang. I'm taking Mark's side on this one!

WHITEFANG · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2013, 02:20:07 PM »

Got all of you!!
Recieved the green HW97K .20 THIS MORNING.
FREAKIN ASSUME LOOKING GUN.
Got it scoped and fired a few shots. This gun has had some love put in it.
Pics will come later today on both.
Got concrete coming as we speak so that is going to take some time with just me doing it.
Just 2 yards but still not a one man messed up hand job.
The new green gun is like new on the outside. Very good find.

Well got took on all. Concrete was great an then the rain.
Flooded the job due to the the slope. What was a creamed broom look aftet hours between rain so now is a rained wash red rock look. Still raining and was not in the pic. Flooded pour.
Got pics of 2 fantastic guns.
Just no target time. Pics are coming. Had no business doing the concrete with the bad hand and by myself.

Green gun is nice@!!!

Sorry about your concrete job. Hope it turns out useable. If I was closer, I would have given you a hand. Not as hard a worker as I once was, but at 71, go a little slower. Takes more beer to do a job too.

Happy you like your HW97 though. It is a fine rifle. Looking forward to the pics.

WHITEFANG · « **Reply #17 on:** July 19, 2013, 10:23:59 AM »

Well after heavy rains and a flooded project the water has receded and Now I am left with A rain wash drive look.
Here are some of the pictures of the 2 guns.
I have to clean up my project area first thing this morning and then it is play time. Very good choice on the guns. Very pleased for what little I have had time to shoot and figure them out. Loading is much easier so far by the design if the breech nipple.

Mpac · « **Reply #18 on:** July 19, 2013, 09:51:23 PM »

What scope you have on the 97 stainless? Nice pair of guns.

WHITEFANG · « **Reply #19 on:** July 19, 2013, 10:03:56 PM »

That is the new centerpoint 4-16x42 AO IR.
VERY NICE NEW STYLE CLEEN CLEAR OPTICS.
THANKS
