Bad Points

A bit harsh on firing - begs for a tune


General Comments

The HW 98 is a great break-barrel gun. The barrel weight is no trivial thing and it adds a lot of heft to the gun as well as delaying the "bounce" and dampening of hold-sensitivity so common with spring piston air rifles. The adjustable stock allows adjustments to your physique. Because of the extra weight, the longer range accuracy of the gun seems very much on par with fixed barrel spring guns. The gun does benefit from an aftermarket tune - it is powerful and a bit harsh out of the box.

I would buy the gun again if given the opportunity.
