First off I wanted to say thanks to Kevin at Straight Shooters. Excellent customer service and quick delivery.

This is a very nice looking gun. The stock is beautiful and IMO the best looking factory stock I have seen. Looks almost like a custom one. There was absolutely no flaws,scratches on the stock & gun. All the gaps were perfect.

The blueing is very good on this gun. I was also very impressed with the quality of the metals like the reciever/action. The weight of the gun isnt all that bad and has good balance. besides I will be changing the stock steel aircylinder with the V-mach one that is 1LB lighter and has a quickfill on it.

This gun comes with 2 magazines. The magazines are made of steel and not plastic. They are very simple but work great. Easy to load and slide into the gun.

To fill the gun it is very easy. You just unscrew the cylinder, slide it out and screw on the charing adapter. Just like you would with a buddy bottle. On this gun there is no need to cock it and dry fire it a few times , the cylinder just unscrews off with ease.

The trigger is also very nice. I took 2 shots in my backyard and the trigger and the gun feel excellent. Very solid &smooth. I could not take anymore shots since my gun only has a barrel weight on it. So the report was pretty darn loud. Right below a rimfire in my opinion.

Tomm. I will take a short trip to the BLM land and do some shots/groups with this gun. I will also take my .22 rapid MK2 . And do some back to back comparisons..
Here are some pics I took of my HW100 T .22 + Bushnell Banner 6-24X40 Mildot.. More to come tomm. Thanks fellows
