The 30 is perfect, lovely little rifle & ideal for 6 meter shooting.

Thanks Neil, i take it you shoot one ?, if i get rained off tomorrow(forecast is for rain)i hope to visit a couple of shops & try both the 30 & 99. I did pick up a 30 with a scope on it, but want to try one with iron sights.
Regards the 30. if you shoot one, how tall/broad are you ?

Hi Rob,
I have an HW30 with the Record trigger and it is indeed a superb and accurate rifle - but a little on the small side for me at 5ft 11 with long arms and a stiff neck!.
To help overcome this a Bisley adjustable butt plate can be bought for very little money online (less than £20) and is made from alloy and may give you that little extra length to help it fit better.
To be fair, without a dodgy neck I could probably make this rifle work well enough just the way it comes, and if you buy the version with the Record trigger you will have a superb little rifle.
Hope this helps,
Bob.

Thanks for the reply Bob,
Sounds like we are similar, years of injuries cause me issues now, neck & shoulders being one, i like the idea of swopping to the adjustable pad, thanks for the tip.
