got my HW95 today…sort of… : (

[stevemag]

    Bummer Steve, sorry to hear that. Hang in there, it will be worth it. It would be funny if someone else in the GTA posted they got a 22 instead of a 177. Can't wait for our next shoot to see it.

i was wondering the same thing, i guess not every air gunner is a member here, too bad.

Unorganized for such a big air gun dealer. When is your HW95 expected? Knowing what goes on there you should call to make sure it was shipped because they might be waiting for the .22 return.

they were very cool, shipped my new gun right away, sent  a tracking number, should be here wednesday, they are picking up the other one tomorrow.

Step away from the window or bring the paper towels and Windex with you and stop staring at the monitor the tracking updates are only 3 or 4 times a day.

My next gun I want a HW98 .22 (I love my .177), but having to go through AOA makes me rethink about getting another air gun because I have too many. If I sell a few I just might just do it. Then all I have to worry about is tuning fees.

they were very good when i called, there are lots of guys here who've used them with no problem, its just the way it always works for me.

You know the old saying if it weren't for bad luck some of us would have no luck at all

UPDATE!!! it's here and it looks b-e-a-utiful. heading upstate  at the crack of dawn for a  long weekend and i'll give it a work out. try and gets some pics also.

[MicErs]

End of the world? no. Were they sorry and are fixing it? yes, of course. Am i still disappointed ? yes.
Somewhere out there though ,is a guy who ordered a .177 and got a .22 instead.

Call me cynical but I'm betting there is someone out there who ordered a .177 and a .22 and returned the .177 in the .22 box.  Vendor failed to check on the restock and you got the result...

[Dockey 454]

    Great news Steve. Can't wait to see it. I guess we need to have another shoot. Was thinking about end of next month. I will work on a date this weekend, and contact everyone.

I do not believe you. I do not see any pictures. No pictures=Didn't happen. 

[Sfttailrdr46]

  Wow I absolutely cannot believe the mighty Joe missed an opportunity to remind someone he knows especially a South Jersey shooting buddy no pictures = it ain't real + never happened

[palonej]

I know Steve well enough to not believe a word he says!!
Pics aren't gonna do it!!! I gotta hold this lady at the next shoot......I still might not believe him tho!!
 

[stevemag]

Well. Just came back in from shooting the hw95. I gotta say, I was expecting it to be wonderful. I'll compare it to my $220 MM tuned xs25.
1st
The cocking effort is not hard at all, about the same as the xs25.

The trigger is nice, but really about the same as my xs25 but much more crisp, I assume this will really shine while shooting at targets.
Off hand at 20-30 yards, not so much.

The stock! Well it's just beautiful and fits me perfectly.
Blueing is what you would expect from a good rifle or pellet gun. It not amazing like say an old colt or smith and Wesson from years ago.
What surprised me was the spring torque sound and slight "honk" when cocking, I'm hoping that will go away.
But worse, is the "BUZZ" Holy mother of god! It sounds like the noise you might hear coming from a breaker panel when someone Jams a knife into a toaster and electrocutes himself. What a disappointment.
I know, I know, all guns need some work but this buzz makes the twang I had on my old 34 seem like nothing. Sounds like a loose nut on my cars catalytic converter.
So I , like many other really don't think a $450 ag should have to be tuned to tolerate but I guess I'll have to order a tune kit

[Booger]

Believe it or not after 1500 shots most of it goes away. I was going to do a full tune on my R11, but I think just a lube tune will do the job.

[Sfttailrdr46]

  Steve just not so good up to Tom with that awesome AG workshop I'm sure he may be willing to instruct you in the fine art of doing a lube and home tune . Reality is I think his home shop is in the same league as a pro tuner's shop

[stevemag]

I think Tom sends his out. Maybe I should get the kit and we all put it in together at toms next shoot. It'd be a learning experience for everyone
