Hw77 or hw57 ??

[rhyslightnin]

The 57 is an underlever format based around the Hw99, as such it's much lighter than the others mentioned. I would shoulder them and see how you feel.

I'd go with the 57. The 77 lovely rifle - I've owned a couple in the past - but a real beast to lug around. As already mentioned, the 57 is basically an underlever 99s - light and handy - though you do really need to try both for size, see what suits best...

could this be the start of an "old but new 99 style revival"? with reams apon reams of 57 threads washing down the general airgun page like the waters of niagra falls???? fashion is such a wonderful thing..., still cant beet a nice 99.. especialy in >>.22<< https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...=24&ajaxhist=0

The loading port can be a problem if it is put in the wrong way around (taper on the hole should go to the back) or it gets dirt under it (bits of skirt chopped off because the port was backwards).

Mine shoots well. Accuracy is good with the right pellets. I wouldn't do a 50 yard shot on live targets with any lightweight springer.

I found the same with one I had years ago. Not as good as the other three, all of which direct load into the barrel, but sub 1/2" at 30 yards.

Yeah, 50 yards is way too far with a 12 FP springer, lightweight or otherwise. I never used to shoot much more than that with my 25 FP Eliminator, and that gave a much larger KZ...

For vermin, under field conditions with a 12FP springer, 35 yards max in .22, or 40 in .177
