    Hi Guys,

    Some of you may remember my daughter Alisha, we came Saturday evening and Sunday, she had a pink set-up :-)

    I’m looking to get her a small lightweight springer in full power, long barrel .177. HW30 springs to mind, but is there anything better? She is small and finds cocking difficult.

    Thanks

    Of course we remember you and it was great to meet you.

    I really can't think of anything to challenge the HW30S. Lightweight, compact, superb trigger, super-refined firing cycle, very accurate and forgiving.

    However, do be aware that they're not "full power", producing about 7ft.lbs in .177 and 8 ish in .22. But you don't ever feel the need for more power when you're marvelling at its lovely manners and ease of achieving the accuracy.

    If you did find that the cocking effort was a little too much, you could de-tune further still and then "up the spring" as time goes by, although, maybe with a little confidence and getting herself slowly used to the cocking technique this may not be required?

    There may well be other lightweight, easy to cock junior rifles, but the 30S has the accurately machined and quality feel of the HW brand, that simply superb trigger and it's a rifle that many grown-ups absolutely adore.

    Cool Mid-Summer Boing!

    Might struggle to get on later as we usually drive out to the Peaks on this day and watch the Sun go down over some picturesque scenery.

    Maybe we is just dense?

    Or maybe the under garments were off and on the collectives' heads, thus obscuring vision?

    Who knows?

    Indeed, a BOING for the longest day

    The dogs must have known something as they were up at 04.30hrs wanting to go out for a slash, and then when they came back in, they didn't want to settle back down ….. Mrs SE had to get up and give them their breakfast early

    Meanwhile I shirked off early to work for some peace and quiet

    Have a good evening if you go for a drive Tone; I'll be having a 10M blatt down the club with my Steyr

    It was a lovely evening, Paul. When you park up at Surprise View, you walk up through some lovely paths to the top where there are some stunning rock formations etc. Views over the nearby Hope Valley are breathtaking and the sunset truly beautiful.

    It was blustery as hell and a bit chilly in that wind and the contrast back down in the car park later was highly apparent.

    Glad I had my Quigley Hollow Airgun Club hoodie on.

    Another vote for the 99. An aftermarket muzzle weight will reduce cocking effort
