HW30 k Advice Please

[TonyL]

As per all the above, the '30 is a terrific little rifle with lovely, refined firing cycle and excellent, easy-to-access accuracy.

However, and I don't know how much or little experience the youngster has, but before embarking on live quarry shooting, make sure he puts the practice in to ensure that he can hit the mark everytime. Even rats deserve a quick, clean kill (and the '30 is more than up to the job at sensible ranges) and you wouldn't want them to suffer a slow death or trail potentially lethal blood around the garden.

And "the mark" is the brain shot.

Thanks all for your options, seems quite divided down the middle .177 or .22, is there any more input please or I might just have to flick a coin.

.177 pellets are cheaper.

They're both lovely, so........




Yep, flick a coin!




Or buy one in each flavour!

Thank you all for the advice, bought it in .177.
Accuracy is brilliant and so easy to shoot.

[TonyL]

Well done that man.

Now, just make sure that your youngster is safe and get him practising.

That little '30 will have already cast its charming spell on you, so you will need to get another one!

Where did you buy it from?
I'm thinking of getting another 30 but in .177 K package?

My HW30 also clocks abt 7.2ftlbs with very little recoil. I would go for .177 and the 30s version which has the record trigger. If you buy the open sighted version, you can plonk a cheap scope on top which the K has and you then have the best of both worlds. as previously said, .177 pellets are cheaper and are just as capable of dispatching a rat at 30yds.
The 30 is a good and very acurate rifle, I love shooting my version with peep sight on.

One of my favourite rifles, .177 flavour, Williams peep sight, superb little thing, just gets better the more pellets I put thru it. My 10m scores with it are embarrassingly close to some of my (much) more expensive rifles. Enjoy!

Our club, Rivington Riflmen, have the occasional 'HW30 Days' which are well attended. The Williams sports peep sight is very popular and a few club members have replaced the Perfect trigger unit fitted to the basic rifle with the Rekord.

These HW 30's are great, I am so impressed with the quality, accuracy and the shooting experience of using it. Brought it home, target set at 25 m, no need to zero it really, amazing grouping just right of centre, a few clicks to the left and spot on.

Can't argue with any of the above...

Excellent!

And yet another "grown up" falls for the subtle charms of this simply superb little rifle.

Thanks all, much appreciated.
