Month and year of manufacture for an HW77?

[rhyslightnin]

A bit more of an update ....

I managed to skive off for a short while yesterday so, I took the rifle down to Black Cat for a quick zero and plink.

While I was there, I found out that it used to belong to a friend - they confirmed that they had SFS do a stage 2 tune on it a couple of years ago.

I usually prefer carbine type rifles and, I'm a big fan of the TX200hc but, this old '77 is really growing on me.

Hilarious!! I was out with mine yesterday!! I could have come up!! Ahh well next time.

Sounds nice mate & even though you may have reservations on the full length I think it's better! I love the full length.. it's dead stable and very easy to cock.

After faffing about with scopes & mounts I took mine up the farm & bashed a load of rats & birds with it.... It was really nice to get back to spring & I'm dead impressed with this rifle..... it's got a bit of buzz when it shoots but the vibration in the stock is very little.
I'm totally made to to be honest, all I need do is a spit n polish, decent guide to drop the buzz a bit & get a 32mm scope on it.
Here.. if you want some mounts that'll drop nice & low on the top, you should try those Nikon ones I've just bought.., they go great with the low cheek rest

Sorry mate - it was just a quick skive to get the scope zeroed and knock over a couple of tin chickens

I did see your thread about the mounts - they look good.
At the moment I've got a Hawke Vantage 4-12x44 with a 1pc Dampa mount on there. It's sitting fairly low but, I'll be interested to see yours.
... I'm thinking of going with open sights on this one.

Its alright mate I just thought it was funny, I know how it is ... Opens would be fun I've got some for mine., Even a diopta rear sight but I've got my heart set on a 32mm scope at the mo. how are you fixed on Thursdays? I've just arranged to have every other Thursday afternoon off for shooting starting next week... If you about on a Thursday afternoon at some point we could hook up & go along some lead!
