The King has entered the building!

#1 Post by ETA »

Finally :roll: , after a long 7 month wait, my HW100-.22 show up this morning. :shock:
Not as heavy as I thought it would be. Balance is excellent, which make it feel about as heavy as my HW95K and feels way lighter than my front heavy HW97K. Without the beefy air cylinder, the rifle is very light. :P
Stock is Walnut and have lots of pores and not very smooth to the touch; which to me seem less refined as the baby bottom, satin smooth, breech stock of my other HWs.
Somehow, this HW king doesn't seem as polished as other HW products. Maybe it is the variety of different materials used to make the action and give it a mix bag of finishes. The thing that is the strangest is that it has a plastic trigger blade. :shock:
I have read problems with air cylinder thread and I know why. Yuck!, fine thread is used. Upmost care is required to avoid cross threading. Don't know why they did this. My coarse threaded CZ200T air cylinder is slick and no chance in hell of cross threading.
Operation wise, the HW100 is one smooth operator. Slick magazine system. Easy and fool-proof. Safety is a bit stiff. Trigger feel is somewhere between a Rekord and a 10M match.
The thumb-hole stock has a 10M match rifle balance and feel to it, which I like. An adjustable butt pad and cheek rest would make it nicer. :P

Keep you guys posted on shooting behavior late in the week. :wink:

I'm wondering if there is a purpose to the larger Thumbhole.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Thanks for the nice comments guys! The HW100 is definitely one sweet rifle for sure. Since it is a fairly new model, I am sure HW will polish up the tiny details down the road.

Sniper,
The rifle was purchased from Illingsworth. The DIN-HW fitting, two 14 shot magazine and the cylinder air release device is standard factory items. I am using the FX pump, also from Illingsworth, with standard DIN fitting attached.

The DIN fitting is very common for the 10M guns. The other fitting in the pic is a DIN-CZ/AA adapter for my CZ200T.

After using it for awhile, I fine the HW100 very comfortable to hold and use. The thumb-hole is huge for it to be ambidextrous, so the lefties will feel right at home. The large hole also make it an easy gun to grab. Build-in carrying handle. :wink:

So far it is very accurate at 10M, putting pellets through the same hole rested. Noise is very low so far. We will see about the noise when I get around to letting it loose. :wink:

Here is a few pics with it all together with a Tasco 2.5-10X42.
OK, OK, maybe I am a bit picky, but this is HW's top dog and I am expecting HW's best; and Oh that baby bottom smooth stock. :oops:
You will notice in the pics that the finish and color on the barrel, brake, air cylinder, gauge bazel, action block, barrel band, trigger guard, trigger, etc. are all different shades of black and finish texture is a bit different too. :roll:
