New HW97K in .22. Bought yesterday at Airguns of Arizona. Real good experience there.
Cleaned the barrel and removed the stock. The spring wasn't over loaded with lubricant. Re-assembled with loc tite on the stock bolts. Only have about 65 rounds through it and it looks like all dieseling is behind us. Seems to be shooting well, but needs some more rounds to settle in. I'm shooting H & N Field Target and Trophy; 14.66 gr. Open to suggestions on pellet choice others are having success with. It is sporting an older Leupold 6-20x 40mm objective scope, with a 50 foot adapter lens. The scope over hangs the loading port making loading harder but do-able. I'm shooting 20 yards now. This is my first under barrel and I think I'm liking it.
