I was able to hit with the first shot out of the rifle.

At what yardage?

At what yardage?

I'd estimate about 15 yards. I didn't measure, I just picked a target and let er rip. Fun.

Don't loose the little packet of sight inserts! Mine are somewhere in one of my coat/pants pockets currently ....hopefully
Good looking gun!! Zeroed mine for 20Y and it wasn't to far off from factory. Enjoy

Looking forward to that first blood (squirrel, hosp or rabbit). Some paper shots would be nice.

Yeah, thanks. I've already put them in my parts kit. Hopefully, I can get in on paper tomorrow. Tonight I just rang steel targets, and smiled a lot.

@Danman you were right. That HW50 is smoooooooth. Love it.

It would Match my car

Preliminary testing indicates a preference for H&N FTT. Iron sights so I tend to blame my old eyes for the flyers.

Hey, that's my excuse for less than stellar accuracy, too

I did manage to put three in one hole at twice the distance on those itty bitty targets. It wants to shoot. It does not care for qys pellets.

Matches one of my motorcycles.

As you can imagine I have been shooting it on, and off for most of the day. I'm amazed at how smooth, and solid it feels. I'm really enjoying it.

All I have to compare my HW50 to is my TX200 and the HW50 is a smoother shooter no doubt, shot cycle and trigger. The TX is slated for a full tune kit this winter....looking forward to the process, so far all I've done to it is Tru-oil the stock.
They are making about the same power and seem to prefer the same pellets thankfully.
Glad to hear yours likes FTTs, I have a few tins in 4.52 when I found out my TX likes them.

I'd be interested to know how that works out for you. I expected the HW97K to compete with the TX 200, and the HW50S to bring up the rear. As it stands I think the HW50S is the smoothest, followed by the HW97K. The 50 is making 11.5, the TX 14.4, and the HW 97 14.4 . I think that I'll have to check them as they break in.

Well, it's been a week, and I've discovered something. This rifle is generally the first one I reach for when I've got a few minutes to shoot. It's also the rifle that when I step out back, and begin shooting I say to myself " just one more pellet, ok, just one more, ok , but just one more, ok, for about ten one more.

Great looking bike. I just tuned mine yesterday and am sighting it in tomorrow.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes. And thanks on the bike.

Haha me too Just a no nonsense airgun. It will be hard to quantify the best pellet(s) for it with open sights but so far the 7.33RS and the 7.87 Express are amazing!

Awesome. Mine liked the h&n 8.64 a bit better than the JSB 8.44. I haven't tried the lighter ones yet.
