    The HW90'S "elite" trigger is very good (had one for 15 years). Many say it's far better than Theoben rammer triggers.

    but it's not as good as a Rekord, and can develop a fault causing "hang fires" - fairly easy to fix, but very disconcerting.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    The latest HW98 comes threaded if you want something with a silence/moderator. I prefer springers myself as I find the shot cycle a bit snappy with gas rams.

    Although I'm yet to add one to my HW springer collection, I'm sure I will one day, when money and space allow. The few that I have tried in the past shot very nicely. I'm not sure I'd have one over a springer if it was to be my only rifle, though.

    Gas rams outsell springs in the US.

    Different things to shoot. I have one and I like it. The benefit of the HW ram it is serviceable and can be pumped back up again.
    I would like to try a 90 myself.

    The HW90 is a great gun, its accurate well made and shoots very smooth its way better than a standard HW80 and it's elite trigger unit is great to but needs to be set up correctly, ive owned a 90 for 20 years and never been serviced it just keeps shooting great so never really felt the need to dismantle it.
