Thx all I have been enlightened, overwhelmed, with such good advice , opinions, and experience so soon I will make a decision, I can't go wrong whichever way I go. Merry xmas and a happy new year. Thx again

The hw50 with .22 would have too much hold over at 55 yd for me I think. I am going to try a hw50 next week, .177. My s200 is only about 7.5 lb with scope, but hopefully I could handle 8.5-9 lb with a hw95/r9 with scope. The spec on line say a hw50 is 840 fps but I don't think I believe that...

Moog: I am use to unsteady, my s200 with scope probably weights in at 8lb, I just try to squeeze off when it crosses and that happens now and then. The hw95 is 7.5 lb and a scope makes it 8.5 so I'm ok. thx

I thot I might use it for hunting and didn't want all the weight. Also, I am over the hill and getting weaker, 78 yrs. It is true that I shoot off bucket and sticks though, I might think about it. thx

bdzjlz Thx for the info. Whichever I can find will be good, might be more r9 around.

Yes I looked at the hw50, but in our hft there are more long shots than average and I want to knock down the target at 55y. I do have a friend that has 2 hw50s that he wants me to look at, I hope I don't give in. The s200 weights about the same as the hw95 I think Would it be a fair trade for a...

I got a used 34 and it shot terrible. I tried putting a kit in it and found horrible gouges in the chamber. Well, it never was consistent and I gave it to my neighbor. I want to try a springer again and I am looking at the hw95/r9. I am 145 lb. and don't want to hold a 10lb. gun up or carry...

I got a few rounds off and the cocking seems grindy so I will disassemble tomorrow and hunt for problem. Thx for your help.

I was shooting 15 yd. I did not want to walk too far to see where I was hitting. I don't have iron sights on it. I also took off the muzzle weight to see if that was the issue. I took off the piccy mount and put on the regular again. I take no offense, I am a shade tree redneck and never had a...

I have been using a pcp for some time. I wanted to try a break barrel so picked the rws 34 up. It shot terrible, all over the place, sounded rough. So I took apart and found the spring broken in a couple of places. I got a kit and assembled correctly I hope. Anyway, I started to try it out and...
