Impressive results from a sub 12 fpe springer. Great rifle. Great tune. And a great shooter. Hats off from the USA.

Great video. I love the .22 caliber air guns. I just got my first .177 in 30 years and it’s my first in a PCP. All my other PCPs and Airrifle’s are .22 and .25. I forgot just how flat a .177 shoots. Even though it’s a Nova Vista Liberty/Alpha, a 300$ PCP, it is amazingly accurate. I wish I could shoot a break barrel. My shoulders are blown out and it is impossible to cock them. Shame really with all the superb piston driven air guns out there nowadays. Glad to see someone shoot them that truly knows how to get the best out of one. Thanks again, take care, God bless.

That's some quality shooting mate, there's some other youtubers who can't match that with a PCP on a Bipod in the prone position and you're doing it standing unsupported and kneeling, well impressed.

I called Tony at Sandwell field sports and he couldn’t have been a nicer guy and more interested in his craft. Great guy, really looking forward to getting my Imp MK2 👍

That 56yd shot on the little spinner, with a .22 was astounding. I would have worries about hitting that with my S200 in .177. Astonishing shot Si. Nice!

Wow....that is awesome Si. Tony is a magician for being able to produce something like that and you are a master of shooting. I'm well impressed.

great kit, well set up n great shooting . Big thumbs up . Filming is flipping hard as well as shooting. You guys do brilliantly

Nicely put together buddy,and some nice clean shots👍 Good to catch up again,but for now back to knife making. Regards Davy Thomas

Fantastic review and many thanks for taking the time and trouble well done!.

Been following this channel for a ton of years. With a rifle tuned like that, why have a PCP LOL!! Also what one must have in mind is that Si has more experience as a shooter than most. Of course the MK ll rifle is a shooter!!! A top channel to watch indeed :-)

The return of VHTV ... Brilliant ... Just brilliant

Great video Si. Cracking rifle, cracking shooting... brilliant.

greetings from sri lanka to sandwell sports and to your channel.. this is a dream rifle. wish i own one of this..

Been waiting for you Si. 👊💯

Good shooting. Good to know you haven't lost your touch.

Great to watch your video and super consistent gun. Looking forwards to watching the next ones ! I've been tuning my 99 but it's not as consistent as that! It's still bedding in and it's getting better and more accurate though, mine is running around 10.4. SFS will be getting loads of enquiries I bet! 👍👍

They definitely will be.

Impressive spring rifle, impressive marksmanship too. Though I have a couple of extremely accurate 12ft/lbs spring rifles I still hunt to farmyard ranges, 25m. To shoot further would require me some real application to be consistent enough to confidently hit what is a very small target area. Conditions on the day are the other great factor. All credit to you to you putting the effort in to achieve that level of skill. I love these vids of hunting with air rifle. The caveat is always the range is dictated by what accurate shot placement can be delivered any one day. What such vids rarely show is the dedication necessary to reach out beyond the farmyard ranges, and restraint when conditions aren't right. Great to see a spring rifle match modern PCP consistency. Takes ome tuning skill to do that too.

It good to see someone reviewing springers again ,I think should be more springer on review , all we see these days are pcp . great shoot guys keep it up , missed you video for some mouths , great to see you back.

Just ordered a .22 cal Imp yesterday from SFS. It's gona be ready in around 20 weeks...can't wait.

Nice to see you guys back great vid I haven't seen you guys preview any underlever rifles from what I hear they don't have the barrel droop that a break barrel has and are even more accurate I have a SPA WF600 .22 underlever pellet rifle made in China it is a cheap underlever gun and the quality is not that great but it does shoot accurately at 30 ft 500fps in a basement Take care thanks for the vid 👍

Why the disclaimer at the end Gary...? As I understand, but I may be wrong and please forgive me if I am, aren’t VHT sponsored by SFS? Are you really telling the audience the truth about a connection with said parties? My psychologist mind started waving red flags like crazy with your statement/declaration. That aside, and unlike your good self, I did not have a great experience with Sandwell. I bought this rifle untuned (and without the horrible engraving on breech block) and had it tuned elsewhere due to the poor customer service and attitude in the shop. I’ve shot a Sandwell tuned rifle and can safely say mine is absolutely superior. No sticker/advert on my gun as my tuner of choice doesn’t need it - his reputation precedes him. Only came here to listen to the hype for entertainment purposes. Kind regards.

When I get the imp II I'll be sure to get back to you with my overall impressions. It has serious competition against my pro sport, walther varmint and fx streamline, we'll see. Keep smiling. Gary

I did comment but its gone fantastic video made by two great lads and there fore we respect there judgements and the info will help lots yes I like shooting to just like many others and Tony does a great job so a very big respect to Tony , And its not all about power if its 11ftlbs and less even 10ftlbs it will be very accurate and still kill very accurate shooting vermin better two shoot and handle

You are a Boss Si.

That's incredible consistency. But I bet it's actually even closer than you found. Because you can see the deviation getting a tiny bit bigger as you increase the amount of shots, I guess from the heat? It would be a massive ball ache but I bet if you left it 5 mins between each shot it would barely deviate at all.

I use pieces of drywall for my targets. When u shoot a great groop it's like one tiny pellet hole.

Thank you, that was a splendid video! Cheers from TEXAS!

Nice one as always. I'd just like to also give a bit of recognition to the gun it begins as too. The weihrauch hw99s. I've recently bought one in .177 and am well impressed. Off the shelf for just over £200 and it shot without throwing off the (pellet balanced on turret trick.) For an hour spent cleaning off grease, polishing piston and refitting, then fitting a £50 hawke fastmount, I can get a group at 50 meters (which I admit wouldn't be as good as your groups but) 7 of 10 shots covered by a 10 pence and the others just outside. Thats off a crappy home made rest too. First time I've ever stripped a gun and although I've messed with springers over the years, only got into it properly end of last year. Maybe I just got lucky but if they're all like that it makes me wonder is the super duper tuned version really worth the extra wait, money etc. Not knocking it in any way though.

0.3 total deviation ?? What ??!!!!! NO !!!!!!..... PCP air gun with regulator can do this !!!! Tony is a genius !!! I have 2 HW 77k in .177 and .22 both tuned down from 18 fpe to sub 12 fpe because it is ´not´ a pleasure to shoot accurate with them !!! Shooting cycle is just to hard ! I hit what I´m aiming for but it´s no fun. My good friend in Germany tuned the .22 and it is 12 fpe!!! so it is less than 16 joule wich is important for FT . Thanks for sharing your vid´s !!!!

I welcome you cordially. I've been watching your videos for years. I often come back to them again with the same pleasure. Amazing results. I have a question. I shot the counter with 177 caliber, but I decided to change it and bought another HW 97, but .22. I have the piston and cylinder slides done. Refined everything possible ... Unfortunately, it is not known why the speed jumps up to 10m. It's a lot. The piston-cylinder system was changed and still the same. I don't know where to look for the problem. Do you have any idea and advice for this. Greetings to you from Poland Rafał.

I'm not that experienced at springer shooting but on a calm day shooting off a rest, I can burry a group of pellets under a 10 pence at 40m, and might only have a couple just outside at 50. What more do you need from a springer. For me is it worth spending the price of the gun again for a tune, no.

@@ginger7558 Go for it, to be honest I havn't put a lot of use to it for pest control, because not long before buying the hw99 I got the air arms s410 which I tend to pick up for the rats. (Normally purely because it's at night and multishot is easier loading in the dark) but every time I get the hw out for a go, it's a joy to shoot, a quality feel to it and I can shoot better with it than previous springers from gamo and bsa. The aa 410 is my first pcp and it's great, but I traded in a springer to help soften the blow of purchasing the pcp, but soon missed having a springer in the cabinet. That's how I came about the 99, and chose .177 because everything else i had previously inc the aa 410 was in .22. Others say the .99 is better in .22, if your buying for close range ratting, you might be better with .22? But either will be good. I've just got a £50 hawke scope on it, a 3-9x40ao, and it holds true. Best of luck!
