morning

don't really know how I came across HW98, but , now I have to have one ...lol   ummmm where do I start.  I just bought a RWS34, about 2 wks. ago and i'm having a blast with it , got about 1100 down the tube with just iron sites.  actually i'm pretty impressed with it , and I didn't scope it yet , but soon. 
so for my 2nd. AR it's going to be a HW98 , that's for sure , been doing boo-koo reading and the only thing i'm not sure about yet is, do I get it in .22 or .177....   I know I won't be doing any shooting of larger game with it soooooo...lol... any really good reasons to get in .22 ?

ok enablers..... here's your chance to do ur thing....lol     it won't take much of a push.....  

ok my rant is over .....

be well

Keep in mind that the HW98 has the same "power plant" as the HW95/R9. After starting with a .177 barrel on an R9, then a .20 barrel, and then a chopped & choked .22 R1 barrel.......I reverted back to .177 years ago never to look back! For ME the .177 works well for field target matches, squirrel hunting and general plinking past any distance I should be shooting pellets at squirrels.

IMHO.....at R9 power levels the .177 shines!

177 all the way!! Awesome rifle!!
Solid, tight, not pellet or hold fussy and ACCURATE!!
Stupid accurate!!
30 yards, 5 shots on a front bag. JSB 7.87.

morning...

thanx for the replys, I was leaning towards the .177 , and i'm glad I asked....  the only problem I have with the 177 is placing them and seating them in the bore is all, but i'm getting better at it the more I shoot.

joe, u list all ur rifles and that they are tuned by ''motorhead'', is this major tune I read about on here or is it just a simple tweaking here and there ??  oh... nice shooting..real nice shooting...    that's the kind of groups i'm hoping to get with more time behind the trigger of these AR's.   any suggestions of ''tuner's'' here on the east coast ?  or where ever ?

that's it,  thanx again for the replys and enabling......

be well

Hey Glenn! I sent mine to Scott, Motörhead here on the GTA, in Cali. He installed a Vortek PG2 full power kit, did a trigger tune and I can't tell you how awesome this rifle is!!! He also did my TX, 97 and 56. Meticulous work, quick turnaround and a great guy to deal with!!
You will love this gun Glenn! I have some 50 yard groups that surprised the heck out of me!! This one was 10 shots with JSB 7.87, her favorite pellet. This group is easily covered by a dime!!. I love this gun bro!!

[swampdog50]

morning....

thanx for the reply and info Joe..

those r the kind of groups I think all of us try for, 10 shots at 50yds, nice, very nice.... you are a true enabler and that's not a bad thing at all...     the reason I did ask about where u had I done is, because i'm from Pa. and I was looking for someone here on the east coast, but, no worries,  i'll contact him when i'm ready.
i'll be getting the 34 tuned first and when I send it out, it will give me a good excuse to order the 98.... ...lol     

again thanx for all the replys and info

be well

Anytime Glenn!!
If you'd like, reach out to Scott on pm and ask him how the rifle was stock. He shot it for a while to see what he could improve upon as I sent it to him brand new.
Once again......this rifle is absolutely awesome!!!
These are numbers after around 6000 rounds.
