My HW 97k loves ftt/ 5.53 head size. It's extremely accurate even at 100 yards on a calm day. Average velocity is 750fps at the muzzle.

Brilliant guns, I have a Walther LGU that I picked up new last year, very similar rifles, the build quality are superb, I’ve been shooting my HW35 for over 25 years and it’s never missed a beat 👍

I bought the self same gun a year or so ago, second hand but as new. Mine does not have the cutout in the bottom of the stock which i think looks better.

Hi Jon. Classic gun, got one with the thumbhole stock. Just as good as you said plus stripping down and maintenance is a doddle. I use Weirach Field Target pellets and they really suit it, although they are hard to get hold of recently. Good review. 👍👍

nothing wrong with that pal . shot a fair few 97’s and a very robust rifle . shot a couple of tuned ones buy god they shot subliminally had a cracking shot cycle and had very nice manners easy to shoot and easy to control the recoil or i should say less recoil than a stock one . think in springer terms under lever for the money there are good value tx is a cracking gun i have one but they are a fair few quid more than the 97
