Need advice, help deciding HW95 or HW50?

[Petey]

With a JM kit in my .177 50S I am getting 770's with JSB Express. Very accurate. I put some honey on the paper  to attract flys when I shoot. Run about 70% or better hit rate with it. The 50 is ideal in .177.

DITTO!    Love my 50s.....
I have tried both the PG2 and the JM kits in my 50s....the JM kit is by far the better of the two and the 50s is a great package...power and size. My favorite AG.

Thanks Brad. After all, I did not provide any objective evidence for my suggestions, like Joe does with his one-hole five-shot groups from 100 yards .
Oh well, maybe I need an HW97, or a TX200... Bill, are you listening? HW97, TX200, the list is growing!

Yes, I am listening. The ONLY thing keeping me from the TX/77/97 platform is about 2/3 pounds!

I vote for the 95, it may not reach 750fps but it will be a lot closer than the 50 and the 95 happens to be on the top of my wish list.
Not too heavy not too long with decent power.

I had the HW50s fully tuned with sunnen hone maccari parts in 22cal and it shot 600fps with jsbs and flat trajectory out to 32 yards, 40 yards you elevated just a touch . I shot stuff out to 100 yards with 3 feet elevation and hit it. It is ore accurate than an R9 in 22cal. BUT I will say for me 5ft 10"' 170lbs I still find this rilfe even though short carbine sized to be a bit fat and heavy in hand if your carryuing all day in the field. I like small l;ight slim rifles. HW30s/R7 perfect, RWS Diana 27 perfect.R9s are big. Your also talking 33yard hunting range and so you dont need 700fps guns for that either. 550-600 is plenty in 22cal. Getting the Hw50s in 177cal and its a 800fps gun out to 60 yards flat with killin gpower for small game. Hope this gives you some food for thought.

HW50s and HW95, both late models.  Here's my opinion:  the HW50s in .177 will do anything you need in that 100 foot backyard.  As you know, it's shorter, lighter and has less velocity than the HW95 but it also is less noisy and doesn't over penetrate as much.    I use my HW50 with iron sights and a Williams peep and this is a winning combo.  If the HW50 were just a little easier to cock it would be perfect!

And a shorter LOP,then the HW50s would be perfect for me.

The JM kit will do just that.....smooth power and easy cocking.
