Lovely old Bushnell JB![]()
Remember the 95 with the coloured laminate from around 1998..the rare HW77K Natural laminate and the 1987 HW80 Bavarian in a plain blonde laminate stock. Mach 1.5
Nearly forgot the brown laminate stock for the 97 and the green adjustable laminate stock for the 77k also. Mach 1.5
More, Ill proportioned coloured tat, to rinse the gullible

Seems HW have taken a leaf out of Diana's colouring book with the red. Air king pro springs to mind. Mach 1.5
My local RFD was at the BSS yesterday and they have confirmed a few things since I last enquired about these 125th Ltd Ecitions.
Namely availability and prices
Ok Availability from what my RFD was told it looks like the HW50/97 will be June and the HW100 July/August.
Best pull up a chair for the prices
Pricing is as follows:
HW50 £400
HW97KT £750
HW100 £1200
Not sure if that will be blanket RRP across the board and my local RFD is usually quite competitive with pricing.
Although I do like the red laminate look the pricing is getting ridiculous now especially on both those springers.
Perhaps I’m actually a little out of touch with current prices for eg.
A standard 99s/50s is around £300
A standard 97K is around £500 a 97kt £550?
A standard HW100 is around £1000
In context a Ltd edition 125th was always going to be a hike and I’m not sure how much of a hike I was expecting
I know that recent HW98 in that grey laminate was quite a hike and it seems they sold them pretty well.
It’s the 97kt at £750 which seems a big hike as I think from memory the 77k with its forest and autumn Green special laminates was around £550
Nice to see you again yesterday Paul enjoyed the catch up
Once again many thanks for the Centenary it really is mint and unused absolutely remarkable considering it’s 25 years old.
My high days and holidays 97K that’s for sure
Just got to find a nice classic Bushnell trophy or Leupold to plonk on top![]()
My pleasure sir. Enjoy the 97. Mach 1.5
