Received my HW97 about 10 days after I placed the order, the only one they had (about 10 minutes after the email went out) Box was marked excellent condition but I can't find a single thing wrong. Salesman said stock perfect with a small blemish on the barrel. I asked if they had the standard warranty and the answer was yes but the box had a paper from Beeman saying sold "as is" and no warranty card so I will be calling back to clarify.
Haven't scoped it yet but easy to cock, very nice rifle from a newb perspective.
