    Although the new special price for the .177 HW95k they have is a pretty good deal.
    The price they have for a new 95 is cheaper than all second hand ones I’ve seen!

    Yep

    They also seem to take an age to sell second hand as well for some reason

    I personally have never gelled with the 95k tried all sorts from brand new to tuned versions just find them too long especially for a carbine.

    Never tried the barrel weight version though, although I thought they were more a full length version back in the day but looks like theres also the k version with barrel weight as per the shop your looking at.

    Went over to Kirklees Guns this morning and picked up a brand new Hw95 for £250. Yes it’s the longer barrel version with the barrel weight instead of a moderator but I’m happy

    From what I’ve read from a few sources, the extra weight from the longer barrel and muzzle weight really does help with muzzle flip.

    I've got one of the older barrel weight versions...a truly fantastic rifle … as accurate as any top end gun as well, the 95 barrels are one of the best HW produce.

    You wont be disappointed at all

    Cheers Steve

    I got the scope mounted yesterday and let off a few rounds into the phone book. Straight through no messing, although it’s only about a half inch thick these days. It’s a little twangy but I suspect it’ll settle down through use. Nice rifle though, trigger is crisp and predictable

    I love my full length, barrel weight 95. I don't find it "flippy" and it's not as long as people think. In favt it's shorter than the HW99 with cut down barrel and mod.

    Good choice and very good find that man

    Glad you got sorted with the 95 Steve.... looks like a good choice and a very good price.

    Hope you enjoy using it.
