I have a 97 with the sporter stock, it's my meditation gun. I have PCPs for pesting but if I just want to sit and shoot gongs and spinners it's always the 97 I reach for. I have a TbT kit to fit to it but I think I lucked out because mine shoots as well as any airgun I've ever fired (including other 97s, even pro tuned ones), has done since I took it out of the box, and I'm a great believer in "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

Dad bought a HW35 for $13 in 1972. Still got it, no work done except change the leather washer for a synthetic, and still deadly accurate !

The twang in a Weihrauch subsides after it is broke in. It may take a couple of tins but it is worth to allow for that.

I love my HW77K best springer out there and have a 3-9 Hawke scope with Pistol grip stock and I installed one of your Maxi kits. Shoots .22 at just over 11ft/lbs at 25 yards 10 shots make a hole smaller than a 5p

Best rifle i ever had in 177 loved H&N field target trophy ammo 3x9x40 scope

I bought a maxi drop in kit from u 3 yrs ago for my 97, it transformed it, so in the nr future will be buying another for my latest purchased 97 , cheers Shane uk

My blue laminate 97 is Nick Simmons tuned. Superb accuracy and handling.

Awesome rifles. I highly recommend  them. Yes the weight can be an issue for some but the performance is great.
I own a ProSport as well which is also great and less front end heavy but accuracy wise there's no significant difference. However the ProSport cost me almost £600 more and can be more fiddly to load especially in .177.
Great video. 👍👍

Thats a stuning lookin rifle dude

short stroke extensions seem like a good idea, but in my experience they make the gun feel very snapppy to the point of being harsh.  they reduce the amount of time avaiable for the pellet to be accelerated up the barrel.

carefully specifying spring length, rate & preload, in conjunction with piston mass adjustemnts and SCR adjustments can have a 26mm gun shooting just as lovely and sweet and docile as a 25mm gun.

balance the forces instead of putting a plaster over the symptoms

Great video  hw97 class rifle

Hi Nick, still loving my 77, particularly now I’ve put a walnut CS thumb hole stock on it. I agree they are heavy, only took mine out on a walk around hunt once and it was a long day lugging it about, a sling would be the answer however. I shan’t go into the details of the day my TbT was fitted 😂 but will say… I’m very pleased with it.

I tried a 97K with a thumbhole stock at my club the other week. I was very impressed. It fitted my hand beautifully and felt a lot lighter than it was because the balance was so good. I'm trying to tell myself that I don't need one, but I'm weakening.

Thanks Nick enjoyed the video I have a 97 with a tbt kit fitted and it’s awesome 🤩

Nice one. Big up Andy BlackMax. Sorted my Rekord out a treat.

Great video and Im missing my early mk1 I bought for £92 in 1985, that I last used 10 years ago when I left the UK. If I ever get back home, the first thing I will do, Im going shooting.

Great video,keep them coming 👍🏼👍🏼

The 97k is the best choice because of it's unmatched quality, simplicity and accuracy. Add a vortex tune kit , polish everything inside , a good scope, a Diana recoiless scope mount and you'll have one of the absolute most accurate airguns money can buy . No pcp is more accurate than a tuned 97k , a few pcps are as accurate but not more accurate.

I have a 77k full power from new and  it is only getting better the twang has gone and it's more accurate than anything , it's in 22 built in 2017 stock, and I love it❤

Excellent video...keep up this series.
