Break Barrel HW50S blue laminate limited edition

[RicL]

Pre order at AoA with a 25$ deposit, refundable. No timeline, no final price yet. I haven’t preordered, just sharing the info for anyone interested.

They have listed the preorder on their website now. $650 is the price. Thoughts?

I thought that I should get one, so here we go.

Have you tried it out yet? I have a tune kit coming for mine this coming Monday . Hopefully I'll have time on Dec 23rd to get it tuned the way I like them. I'll post the results.

Hasn't shipped yet. I had a super tune, with a vortek kit installed, so I imagine the shop is a bit busy this time of year. Hopefully soon.

I have a tracking number.

And there it is.

I must admit that after shooting it a bit yesterday, I am very enamored with it. Great rifle.

Yeah the 50s have the right piston size, weight, stroke. A very nice shot cycle. Nothing feels forced.

Exactly! I'm wondering why I didn't discover this rifle sooner.

My favorite amongst the high-end springers in the 8-12fpe class.

I like an FWB300 better for when you only need 5-6fpe. And I like an RX2 in .20 better for when you need 18ish fpe. BUT, for that easy cocking, high volume, has enough power to reach 50 yards, springer sweet spot of 8-12fpe, the 50s is tops.

Kind of feels like "if I were only going to have one", I'd better stop before my wife catches me.
