Oh no I’m re living the past through FL22 however the HW97 Is a nice gun so you really can’t go wrong. Correct me if I’m wrong they seem a little twangy from owning several HW rifles but that’s just how they are. That can be remedied by an aftermarket spring. The triggers are phenomenal. Personally I get bored with boingers but a lot of people like them

I think I might put one of my other toys (car) up for sale, if that works out I might get one.

The only springers that ever had was when I was a kid. My Daisy Red Ryder and a pistol that had a lever on the front of it. I don’t remember much about the pistol though.

We’ll see what happens you only live once.

Had enough of the S510 already? The accuracy is a bit overwhelming and is the reason I got a TX as well, bit more challenging Everyone deserves a good springer!....or 2. Everyone and their brother it seems have or have had a TX so you owe it to us to test out a nice German made Springer! People pretend they want the latest and greatest but I'd ask why then are Wiehrauch or AA springers (Both old as the hills) rarely in stock!? I used to be into cars as well, now I don't even give them a second look

Not even close with the S510 yet . It’s just that I was looking at the HW97K as one possible alternative after the SAM.

I mean you see what’s going on with AA the partnership.
Other companies moving manufacturing around, you just never know and I think I would like to have one of these rifles sooner rather than later.

What is sending it over the top for me, is that walnut stock.
The email said it’s only available for the US market and that AoA worked this deal. I’m not sure, but that sounds to me like you can only get it from them.

Well, this pushed me over the cliff today. I've long been drooling over the HW 97K, but the opportunity to have a new HW97K with a Monte Carlo WALNUT stock forced me to place my order today. The 22 cal ones won't be available until late May from AofA, but I'll wait. Now my friends, what scope to put on it? It must be a FFP and cost less than the rifle, but what else? This rifle with it's walnut stock will compete well with my TX200, don't you think? Orv.

 

[Hoppalong Doc]

Well friends, I'm sure looking for your best advice as to what scope to put on my incoming new HW97K. I think I'd like something in FFP, AO and suited for targets and HFT. As I've been quite satisfied with Hawke scopes, and thought something in the Vantage. What do you think? Orv.

Well I have been thinking about it, and I have no recommendations! I like Hawke scopes but a Vantage on a springer? In FFP!? Does such a scope exist? I think not? I have a 3x9 vantage on my S510 and it is NOT enough scope for it! I would go for a 12 or 16 power but if going FFP I'd go Athlon or something similar sir.

My mistake, How about the Hawke Advantage 30 FFP 6 - 16X50 AO SF?

 

[Danman]

How is it price wise vs Athlon I wonder? Not sure what you want to spend? I have 2 SFP Hawkes and love the clarity. The airmax 4x12 is on the TX and it's literally perfect. If I got a FFP and planned to dial it alot I'd go athlon or Element (Helix)?

 

[Hoppalong Doc]

I'll look into them tonight. Thanks, Danman.Orv.

Don’t forget, you could reach out to AoA for advice then you could share the information with us.

My understanding is that if you buy the gun, scope and rings all from AoA, they will mount and sight-in the optic. They will also ship the complete rig to you double-boxed with custom-cut foam packaging for safety in transit.

And all this at no charge!

Rather than take my word on this, it would be best to check with AoA...

 

[Hoppalong Doc]

Thanks for your response. Actually, I enjoy mounting and siting a new scope. The deal from AoA is a great service. I've opted for them to fire the new rifle, noting chronograph numbers, and making sure that all is operable. Still a great service.

I just purchased a Hawke Airmax 30 FFP 4 - 16 x 50 SF AMX IR 30mm from Pyramyd. It'll be delivered on Thursday. I enjoy Hawke scopes and I just hope that this one fits the bill. Thanks for each of your advice.Orv.

This may be an obvious question for some of you, but still I can't find the best answer: what does AMX refer to on a rifle scope? How do I best apply this? When you stop laughing, shoot me an answer, please. Thank you in advance, Orv.

I don’t know what the exact acronym stands for, but this is from the Hawke website.

AMX Reticle​

Both the AMX and AMX IR glass etched reticles are based on the spacing of a 10x Mil Dot. The AMX offers multiple aim points, useful when shooting air guns with loopy trajectories.

Half Mil Dot spacing on the lower post provides increased aim points for long shots.

The horizontal bars are calculated at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 mil spacing. Hollow posts are segmented into mil spacing and can be used for bracketing.
