A few years ago Sandwell Field Sports in the UK offered a special run of HW99 (HW50s in the U.S.) in .25. This poll is to see if there would be enough interest here in the U.S. to try to get AofA to order a special run.
Special order HW50s in .25

I'm a little confused by their names myself. I believe the Imp was a special .22 cal and they referred to the .25 cal as The Snipe. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can answer that for certain

Call AoA and find out just how many pre-orders they want/need to even consider trying to place an order so you know how many you'll need. It has been done before by a group that wanted the 50s in .20 cal. If memory serves, they needed 25 and ordered some on top of it to add to their inventory.
Get enough to get them to order, it will likely be a 4-6 month wait but it made for a bunch of happy shooters when they got their .20's.

I’m awaiting a response but in the meantime I thought it might be a good idea to gauge interest

I have a HW 50 in .22 that I bought from JM . I love it. Thinking maybe .25 be to much for that power plant.

Not at all! I have a Hatsan 95 in .25 that does 11fpe (because of course something broke) but it does a suprisingly good job at that power level. Plus its fun to REALLY see the pellets get thrown down range.

Gems and Millitas (If you pronounce this "militia" you're getting the backhand!) were available over 100 years ago in .25. Had to be very modest power output. I bet they're still fun!

Those, no, but I do remember the $300 HW95's. I grabbed one way back then and still have it 6 years later.

I’d be more interested in a .20 model. Either the HW95 or the HW50. No iron sights, just nice and clean. Would flip my lid if it was an “Urban Pro” model. Threaded with an OEM moderator & pepper laminate 
Heck, maybe even an HW30….. Be like, Take my Money!

I guess I should have worded the poll differently and just had a one response of "yes" if you want one. The idea is to gauge if there is enough interest to even warrant trying to get AofA to put in a special order. This thread isn't about what else you may want or think would be cool.

It would have not mattered, unless comments were turned off
