HW100S Review and comparison to BSA R10SE

[Jackspratt]

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!

I have the HW100t full length the weight can be fixed, just get an A & M cylinder, way lighter. Just a point make sure the screw in stud is not too long, some are and can damage the cylinder I shortened mine to the same length as the original screw. They are great rifles still the best overall after all these years.

Does your HW100S have the newer stock or the old one?

Do HW100s still have too many instances of seals failing?

[keithy]

I have had 4 hw100s, 2 fsb, 1 100s and current hw100t laminate never had seal trouble or accuracy problems with any of them i also know around 20 other people with hw100s who also have had no problems.

Had a secondhand mk 1 HW100 (no quickfill) as well as several mk 2s, never had any reliability or seal problems either.

Great read, thanks for the info!

in quality-price the hw100 is the best easy maintenance rifle

I have had to put a small spacer between the stock and fwd cylinder mount as on occasion the action rocks in the stock slightly.

Do HW100s still have too many instances of seals failing?

I bought my HW100s back In January 2013 and and after a lot of use I have not had a single problem. The rifle has never been serviced or had any seals go either. I have also never removed the stock or air bottle because I don't believe In tampering with anything unless It's broken. Best PCP by far that I've ever owned

Hi All,
Must admit I love my R10SE no problems with it as yet

I own a laminated HW100 k which was a pig when I 1st got it, power, accuracy issues. Eventually sorted by HC. Still can’t get the last bit of the silencer off the barrel! This is my 4th HW100 and the previous 3 were fine. Also bought a R10 SE, this gun has had no issues what so ever and a joy to use. Also bought a HW110, power issues, cocking linkage breakage all on 1st tin of pellets, now sold after a return to HC.

Great review!
I am currently in the dilemma of HW100 or keep my r10!

Think I'll shoulder a few more 100's,

Cheers
