Ping-Peak Chick / Gene_SC and other HW50s owners

[jwh2]

I know a few of you have the HW50S and I have read all of the old threads about it that I can find. I was hoping that some of you might update your thoughts on this rifle for me. I used the 15% off Pyramyd Air coupon to order an HW50s in .177. Does anyone have a manual on this model in .pdf that they could post or e-mail me? Thanks for your feedback.

I really can't provide any update beyond stating that my HW50 is in a dead tie with my BSA Lightning XL as being my favorite springer rifle. I have a Bushnell Trophy 4-12 x 40 AO on mine in a BKL 260 D7 mount. My HW 50 is brilliantly accurate with both CPHPs and JSB Exacts.

I really can't provide any update .

I thank you. No update also means nothing negative has popped up so that is good to know. I take it you had some droop issues if you used the D7. How bad was it?

James, all I can say is you spent your money wisely.. The HW-50 is a sweety but unlike Peak I love my BSA Lightning the best..

My HW50 had some barrel droop, not severe. I happened to have a BKL 260 D7 to put on it. Some will have the droop, some will not. I wouldn't worry about it until you get yours and see how it shoots.

 Some will have the droop, some will not. .

I am thinking of leaving this one for open sight shooting if my eyes are up to it.

I have read to many threads about the accuracy of the HW 50. I just could not get it off of my mind and the 15% off coupon code didn't help either. I just had to do it. LOL
Did your 97 arrive yet? If so, how is it? I sure do like mine and I'm guessing you will to.

I should be here tomorrow..
