You're funny. I'm the same way some times anticipating air gun deliveries. When my pellet gun interests started around 10 years ago, I went big and ordered an RWS Diana 48 rifle to start with. I had never spent so much before (or since) on a pellet gun nor on one as powerful. I was like a nervous hen waiting for the two days it took to arrive. Opening the package my hands were clammy, my heart racing - like being on a first date! when the packaging fell away to the floor, I held her in my arms for a while.
Sorry I didn't have comment on the HW97. I have been lusting after one, though. Here we go again...
