General Comments

I am new to this sport and sought advice from all quarters - magazines, shops and local club members (Harriers FT).
The Weihrauch HW97K air rifle in .177 seemed to be the one to go for. I bought a kit from Sandwell Field sports and with plenty of friendly advice from Tony Wall off i went.
It is now three weeks on and i am very, very impressed with this gun. I consistently hit potatoes on poles at 25-30yds and score 8-10 on the target. I find it's more accurate by not holding the gun too tightly and resting my thumb on top of the pistol grip just in front of the cylinder. As for the weight, well it is a quality sring rifle including a silencer, from what i can tell this is to be expected however this is overcome by the 97 being well balanced. My scope is a tasco 3-9x40 which i have set on either 5 or 6 magnification.
I personaly prefer the looks and the action of an underlever rifle so, all in all, this rifle does it for me.
Even with my limited experience i know what's best and this is it. Buy one - you won't be disappointed.
