Also consider the middle choice, of fitting a professional tuning kit (e.g. from Tinbum)...

Currently I'm rocking a full length HW77 in .22 and a prosport in .177
But if I was buying a tuned gun I think I'd go for a '97 in .22
Part of the reason for wanting a tuned gun is to see what witchcraft has gone on inside if I'm honest.
Not to copy it just to understand it and to see if it blows what I can achieve out of the water
Also what is a tuning kit?
If it's a well fitting guide and top hat made from acetal and a decent Spring, I can and have made quite a few kits of my own in that case.
I'm interested in what Tony wall or any other pro does with the kits.
I imagine they levitate a couple of feet above the gun and say this needs a thou taking off the piston seal and Spring with 3/4" of preload.....
