Break Barrel Talk me out of an HW95N Stainless

[RicL]

I must agree, a few more posts and likes... @RicL, have you got your speech ready for SWBO?

lol

Yeah, I already have a .22 HW98. I would say half a collector. All shooters, but since I only go out to the field occasionally, it helps to have unique springers I can enjoy owning. I asked because I’m convinced I’ll get one, and subconsciously knew people on this forum would encourage me

How does a HW98 perform in .22? Compared to the HW95? My R9 is .22. My TX200 is .177.

If your bills are paid, you have food in the fridge, room in your safe and your wife won't divorce you, buy it if you want it!

If you use the HAM discount you can even say you got it on sale!!

Exceptional, but I’ve only really shot it after a well known tuner from the west coast worked his magic on it. Trigger 1st stage was shortened, then a very positive wall, followed by a very clean break. The cycle is a quick “thud” that feels almost identical from shot to shot. Ragged hole groups out to 30. Sometimes pellet on pellet for 2-3 shots, but then I’ll inevitably place the 4th shot touching or about a pellet’s length away. The 98 is supposedly better for target due to its extra weight, with the 95 better for pesting for the same reason. Same internals.

Thanks for the info.

As the title says, please talk me out of an HW95N stainless.

I’ll start… for starters it’s super expensive at 800

Don't buy it, don't buy it, don't buy it. Bought it!

Us? Enablers? Noooooooooo! Lol

I have Beeman R9 (same gun), and it is a nice rifle, no doubt, and the "stainless" look is nice. But I would be hard pressed to get another just for looks. If I was motivated to sell or give away the R9, that's another story.

Back to the original post, do you already have a similar gun in the collection? Are you a collector? Do you need to thin the herd, as I do, but haven't gotten a "round tuit"? Or is there another reason you want to be convinced NOT to buy it?

No Thank You.
I still have the HW30 it's my favorite Rifle. Just sold the HW50s(it's terrific)it's a step up in what I want to Break Barrel. And let's face it. When people shoot one of those they give you what you paid for it.
Have a dozen other guns my Kids are Grandkids will get given to them.
Still hoping my taxes bring me a Huben GK1 v3
I've been saving all winter. The thing is expensive by the time you deck it out.

Good point. Accessories I should. I’ll take a look in the closet to see what I can come up with.
