Hi Vin, good to see you with the 97. I have a KT in beech. Awsome rifle. The quality of these guns is difficult to put into words. They just feel like they would last forever.

Goes to show how each airgun has it's own ammo preferences, my HW77K (.22 cal, set to 10.5 ft/lbs for garden use) loves the Air Arms pellets, and the discontinued Webley Vermin Pell.

I have the HW97K in .22 and it loves the RWS Super domes but on the back of this review I've just ordered a full (200) tin of the Bisley Magnums. Thanks again Vin for making Air rifle shooting fun again. You're a inspiration. Thanks again and keep the channel going no matter what.

That's some nice groups at what amounts to 38.2 yards for us airgunner's in the US. I was a bit surprised the Air Arms wasn't doing near the top since they are re-branded JSB's. The JSB's have always done best for me with my HW97k in .177, but I haven't tested them beyond 30 yards yet. Bisley pellets are hard to get here in the US so I never tested them. Your right about the wind. Even rested on a bench the wind can move you around off center before you shoot, then push your pellets here and there on the way to the target.

Nice shooting Vin. I agree that the sitting position is underrated and can be very effective. I really need to find time to go itch my trigger finger.

Out of interest Vin, is a HW 57 worth considering and what caliber would you recommend as I tend to pick.22 for lighter weight rifles. It’s the only HW springer I don’t have but as I get older the lighter rifles become more appealing 😉

There's a brand new one of these exact guns on Guntrader right now in .177. Only 4 weeks old, 200 shots through it, still in warranty , condition as new £380 or ono

I have the same rifle with a beech stock in .177 and a nickel barrel 97 in .22... there a pleasure to shoot and proper accurate..best guns on the market for the money....keep up the good work 👍

Another good one Vin, very informative. I use Bis Mags or JSB 8.44s in my HW97 .177 but when I run out of the JSBs I won't be buying any more, they are half as expensive again as the Bisleys and not as consistent. The worst I ever tried were those Hades pellets, my target looked like I'd taken a shotgun to it.

I have just got my 97 in blacking. 22.the only pellets I had was the b.s.a gold stars.there great in this gun.

As always - very informative and the Bis Mags were surprisingly excellent in your barrel. Keep it up Vin.

Nice shooting Vin. Once you’ve finished your pellet testing, it would be nice to see your preferred seated shooting position. It would be nice to try it or attempt to 😊😊 kindest regards Carl

Bisley mags are very good pellets and are the only pellet my HW 100 .177 likes, in fact i have 2 and they both love bisley mags, but I thought springers ran better on lighter loads. Your testing has shown otherwise in the 97. Keep up the good work

Very interesting again Vin, I find that 99s shoots better in .22 than.177 lower weight, less recoile? The 77 & 97 are the same action apparently so sown how all a little different 👍🏻thanks again for your time and truble

Nice shooting as always and another great video. What power are you getting with the bisley magnums? I find them pretty accurate but very low on power. Thanks.

Hi Vin, nice video, do you have any of your videos shooting on the range or anywhere. And is the hw 97k very heavy airgun or the Air arms pro sport. And could I use a red dot sight on the hw 97 , have you tried using the pro sport. Hope to hear from you, like your videos ❤

I’m looking for another springer to compliment my 99s but not sure which way to go, 80, 98 or 97. Any advice?
