Looking for a higher end Springer rifle ((( Found one . )))

[fishguy]

Since the Air Arms Pro Sport and TX200 seem to be a little harder to come by, I'll take a shot at a Weihrauch springer as well, something like a HW97. Let me know if you've got a good Springer you're looking to part with, thanks!

[Daryl]

I have an HW97K in .177. Excellent rifle and quite accurate. They are a quality piece, as are the 98's.

[FRANK]

I have a HW97K in .177 with modded triger for FT very light and crisp
a few other add on's.

Shoots Great or I buy it back.
The rifle is tuned to shoot a bit under 800fps with jsb's 8.44 4.52

if your interested I can post some pic's


I need 600$ plus shipping and I will not sell for under that price if other guy is willing to sell cheaper
buy it from him but I have a few add on in mine that makes it worth a lot more then 600$

You might want to look at a HW-77 as well.

Not quite the boat anchor the 97 is...97 is 10 pounds before scope and mounts, so 11 to 12 pounds with.

I have both and prefer the "carbine" 77 model, but thats an individual preference.

A beautiful laminated one sold here recently, started out way high but sold for $575 I "think"....I could be off a bit.

You cant go wrong with either one.

My son has a like new Diana 460 underlever with a Vortek tune. With the new spring, power is gladly down a little but still shoots 10g pellets at 900fps. A RWS one piece droop mount is included. He says he never shoots it and would sell it cheaply, (sure, he got it at the family price ).

Thanks Frank. I'm sure your price is quite fair for what you've got into it, wouldn't even think if bartering. Only issue is it sounds like you've already done the fun part of customizing it, leaving me nothing to do! Some would very much like that, I prefer to start with a stock gun and do the custom work over time, that's much of the enjoyment for me.

I previously owned a 97kl (blue laminate) and while it was a quality, accurate gun, it was heavy, and why I sold it. Now that I'm starting to compare the weights of some of the better under levers, I see they're all up in that range. I didn't enjoy a rifle that became tiring to shoot offhand when I wanted to, versus resting it. Seems best I can do is a tx200 in carbine walnut, still coming in around 8.5lbs before scope. And now we're talking real money.

My head hurts....

Thanks, I'd hate to take advantage of the family price he "paid"! I think that gun is a bit too big for me, at nearly 4ft long, I prefer something in the 40" or less range.

Agree with you sir on all counts. My 97 is also blue laminate and 77 is forest green laminate.

Totally off topic but my Brocock walnut PCP at 6 pounds less scope is rapidly becoming a new fav....very light.

Going to the dark side opens up all kinds of different cans of worms though.....

Pcp is great fun, accurate, no recoil. Sometimes though, I just enjoy more of a challenge...enter the Springer. I very much like my 50s but thought I'd step it up a notch.

After excellent advice and suggestions, I can say I'm looking for an HW77 (prefer the K) or a TX200 HC. Hoping for .177 as well. Thanks again!

D&L airguns out in BC has a selection of a few, including .177 model with iron sights if wanted. Price is not out of line at $650.00. Just mentioning it in case one doesn't pop up here for you.

[fishguy]

Found one.... thanks to a very friendly fellow forum member from Manitoba I now have a barely used TX200 HC. Thanks very much for everyone's input!
