Excellent review with some very pertinent points made - thank you OP.

I'm on my 4th HW100 - well actually 3 HW100's and a full length 101. (yes they do exist or did.)

Accurate at 40+ metres compared to my very consistent R10 Elite Mk2 which was only good to 30 metres, no matter what I tried.
The 101 single shot was an absolute joy - every bit as good as both of my FTP900's - I only sold it cos I hate Beech stocks! Silly me!

100% recommend anyone to try the HW100 - especially the full length if its targets you prefer.

Final comment - Marmite yes indeed but I don't just buy a rifle on looks, its ability that counts and the HW100 has it in spades.

Appreciate the reminder from the OP - cheers!

Jack
