Hi Richard
That's good to know. This wouldn't be a one off as I'd probably run another course next year as well, if not more. I had six lads this year one of whom as now joined the club and I think funnily enough has bough a BSA PCP!
I'd forgotten I had it but I do have an old Supersport which shoots quite nicely so if the new ones are comparable, this could be a way to go especially if you or someone could arrange trade. If I could come back to you in the near future on that it would be very much appreciated
I'll also look at the HW30 as I've not really looked at this model. I also have a HW35 which is fine for me but the barrel lock catches a few people out.
Cheers
Bob

HW30 makes sense, it's pretty robust and accurate, easy to service.

Hi all
Just to update, I ended up with 6 off HW99's rifles complete with 3-9x40 AO Hawk scopes, mounts and a quality slip per outfit.
Ran the first proper training session on Sat (the first was class room based covering safety, range rules and law plus types of rifle and competitions) and once the young participants had put the sights back where they should have been (can't think how they could have been so far out) they were ringing bells and knocking over targets at 25 yards with open sights with relative ease.
Have to say it, these rifles are the dogs danglies as training/starter rifles for club or other use.
Thanks for all your replies, each one of which received due scrutiny and thought before we made the final decision.
Cheers
Bob

cannot understand all the HW must have. i do my best with BSA and Biakal. my biakal air pistol was beetling some of the bullet pistols on the range.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
