General Comments

I bought my hw77 standard length .177 caliber about 3 years ago, it has a 3-9x50 scope and a harris bipod and i must say it looks amazing. The gun comes out of the box at approximatly 10.5 flbs but i am planning on upgrading with the FAC V-mac kit soon. The gun can take cheap light pellets but at range abvoe 30m i would recomend a more expensive high grain slug. i regularly shoot wood pigeons from my window at 45-50m, i have shot a partridge at nearer 70m and the quarry usually goes down in one shot. as for rabbits the saying .177 for feather .22 for fur is very true, A heart or head shot will bring a rabbit down, anywhere else and i will limp off and die in a hole. The new model of hw77 does have an anti-beartrap system installed.

I would advise this gun to anyone, .177 if shooting at a fixed range were accuracy is dead on target, however if rough shooting get a .22 caliber to bring the quarry down and be humane as possibe.

    So, you shot a partridge with a rifle - that is a game bird so you broke the law. Then you miss a clean shot on a rabbit so it goes down a hole to die. Sigh, people like you should be ashamed. Go back to basics and learn to shoot properly then be responsible and law abiding with a rifle. Before you jump up and down bear this in mind - I own a Section 1 license and know how to shoot, what to shoot and when to do it legally.
