Hmmmm, hairy views or not ()), although the HW99 is very good, when considering break-barrels straight from the box, imho, the HW95K is still King and always will be: long live the King.
Even better when its in .20 cal then its King of Kings!!!!!!

Having owned both rifles i can honestly say the hw99 is my preference over the two, the only reason i would get a hw95/80 would be for the option of .20 calibre, other than that i couldnt justify the extra cost for the bigger brothers to the 99
