Do I want a .177...?

[Vernal]

I'm conflicted...



So...are better quality .177's much nicer to shoot than the BSA's of this world or is it a foible of the smaller calibre?

Please feel free to make other suggestions if you feel that the HW98 can be bettered or equalled by anything else under £400 as well

Yes, quality .177s are much nicer to shoot than the old springers, although with a pair of otherwise identical guns, one in .177 and one in .22, the .22 in my experience will be a tad nicer than the .177. But do try the Walthers, LGU and LGV. I have one of each in .177, and they do have a very nice firing cycle out of the box, as well as being very, very accurate for target shooting

As per the observations above. The HW98, even in the smaller calibre, exhibits very forgiving firing habits and it's very easy to extract high accuracy from. Highly recommended.
