Hi Gary
If you're interested in. 177 buy a 98

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
I sorted my 95 in .20 by having the power dropped from 11.50 to 10.50.
I tried Nicks heavy silencer which helped muzzle flip a bit but not enough.
Nice gun to use now.
Hi Pete,
I think the 98 may be a little too heavy for Emma. She likes the FWB 124 (but after half an hour she says her arm aches) and is comparing it to the 95 which is easier to cock (she only had a dozen or so shots with it though).
If we can find someone in the club with a 95 in .177 who will let us have a go we can then make an informed decision.
Are you at the Bash in April? If so, we'll see you there.
They're lovely, Gary.
My (earlier barrel weight version) has a V-Mach kit and is very accurate and forgiving. As standard, it was pretty good, too. No twang and very well behaved. When I fitted the V-Mach kit it was 19 years old and still shooting sweetly, but I reckoned I owed it a refresh. Very accurate with a wide range of pellets, FTTs seem to be its favourite diet.
I think I've seen some shops advertising barrel weight versions again now?
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- August 3/4, 2024.........BOING!!
I think there's been a massive difference between every one I've shot, Gary.
To be honest, in factory trim and .177 cal. they're pretty harsh and snappy. And with the factory spring guide - twangy too.
I can't see a way to tame them very much, other than half a pound of thick grease & tight guides, requiring more spring and/or running pointlessly low power, like 9 ft/lbs.
But then that's probably the difference between what a skilled tuner can do -vs- what I can do.
The one I had in .22 was much nicer.
.22 is just a much easier prospect all round.
That's why .22 is a bullshitter's calibre.

I reckon the HW 95 is a gun that everybody should own. It is basically the modern equivalent of a Feinwerkbau Sport in my opinion. I have owned many over the years and have enjoyed every single one, in both calibres. I might even try a .20 version next year. Fantastic guns.
