Thanks , both very informative. I have an hw95, its not so much the weight for the kids, but stock dimensions,the HW95 being an adult rifle. The main objective is a nice rifle for the kids, but something that is useable by me. I take it the 50 stock is smaller than a 99, for instance? I did'nt realise the 50 was getting on for 7lbs weight? The extra tuning potential of the 50 appeals as it will last them as hopefully their interest in the sport develops. Thanks ,
