This is what it is about for me. An air rifle to take "into the field" while just taking time away from suburbia into nature.
I'm 63 now and medically discharged from the US ARMY as MAJ (CH).
The war for me is over. I can't go back there. I want to be back there. I want to be in the field with my soldiers.
I never carried a weapon in the field but had learned to shoot the M-14 about the time the M-16 came along to replace it in ROTC.
I love the M14 and hate the M16.
Now; the field for me is the air rifle field.
Well, one asks the question if they had only TWO rifles (air) to KEEP which would they be?
For me it is the D54 .20 and the HW98 in any caliber. If you ask me which caliber in the HW98 I'd be happy with any caliber and happier if all calibers in HW98 could be kept!
The HW98 to me is a kind of "heavy" pellet rifle; but once you carry it around like you would a walking stick or backpack in the field it becomes concrete solid reliance for an exact shot first time to the target without "warm up."
That's my vote for the HW98.
The D54 Air King .20 specialized by Lothar Walther and put together by Hector represents my "Custom" air rifle specified to my needs to have a pellet hit over 100 yards in HEAVY .20s with enough accuracy to justify the shot.
So what's your two Field Rifles that YOU would never question at any range anywhere anytime within 24 hours?
