    Smile Hello

    Hi all, new to the air rifle scene so been reading the forum (which is rather good by the way) trying to gain a bit of knowledge before buying my first gun. Lucky enough to have a range 5 mins from my house so target shooting will be my thing. Think I've narrowed it down to a HW99S .177 so on the look out for a good used one. If I get the bug then no doubt I'll fall down the rabbit hole and be making more purchases!
    Anyway, off to read a bit more.
    Cheers, Toddy

    Hi Toddy

    It is rather good isn't it?

    The 99 is a fine rifle at a very good price point. It's achilles if buying an older rifle is potentially galling. Google it, there's a load of info out there. Get a good one though and I'm sure you'll be very pleased with it.

    Thanks Dave, have heard of the galling issues but need to go read up on it to see what it actually is and if it's easily sorted. As I say I'm new to all this so it's a bit overwhelming at the moment
