Great review. I really love the HW97, mine is also the blue, tuned to 11.8 ft/lbs .177 with 8.44 grain pellets. Its my best shooting springer for sure. My tune kit was the Vortec PG3 steel tune kit, with some polishing as well. No vibration noise at all, and standard deviation over 20 shots, after broke in, with 8.44 JSB is only 2 fps. It will stack pellets all day long at 25 yards, and only opens a bit at 50. There is a reason it's been an HFT champion platform. LOL. Well done. Great review!!
