Hw77 or hw57 ??

[tinbum]

The 57 is an underlever format based around the Hw99, as such it's much lighter than the others mentioned. I would shoulder them and see how you feel.

All depends upon what you want to use it for Rob ?
Sounds as if the HW 77k would fit your bill nicely and I'd go for .22 cal. !

I have a TX200 and I am thinking about purchasing an HW77 to use with open sights. One thing I would say about the TX is although heavy, the weight "intentionally" helps balance the recoil resulting in an amazingly accurate springer!!! Perfect for vermin

I've never owned a HW77, but I have owned a HW97k....it was heavy, on a par with the TX200 weight-wise. I've also owned a HW57, these are NOT heavy! Being honest the 97k is the better gun, but not as good as a TX (now I've done it!), but if I was going to buy a '57 or '77 it would be the '57. Much easier to haul about.

The 57 is not even half the rifle the other 3 are.

Exactly my thoughs, Murphy, taking into account the OP's observations above.

The 95 is lighter than the 97, 77, 80 and TX. A smooth operator and very accurate.

Rob, try and handle / try out as many as you can. But from what you've said, the 95 would be in pole position to my mind.

I'd go with the 57. The 77 lovely rifle - I've owned a couple in the past - but a real beast to lug around. As already mentioned, the 57 is basically an underlever 99s - light and handy - though you do really need to try both for size, see what suits best...
