N/A Thinking of a high shot count .177

[Hobbyman2007]

I already have an HW100 in this cal that I’ve got tuned to shoot at 16 FPE and it’s perfect for that application. What I’m thinking of is a low powered , 8 fpe ( 8.4 grain at 650fps) with a monster shot count. I’m not an airgun snob , but I refuse to buy a rifle from China and would prefer not to buy from Turkey either. Yes I know that’s going to limit what I can get my hands on.

Here’s the criteria and remember I’m up in Canukistan so I’m already pretty limited.
Bottle fed ,maybe 700cc if the bottle fits
Short-under 36”
Regulated
Under 7 lbs
Multi shot
Wood stock preferably

Here a couple rifles I have in mind.
HW100 with a dr.BOBs bottle adapter
RAW HM1000
FX boss /crown

What other rifles should I consider?

Man I would look at a red wolf standard. I had one in a PRS chassis for field target open class and it got a ton of shots at 20 pounds. No I don't know enough about the Redwolf and programming it to tell you how many that would be and it might be closer to 12 foot pounds. But I would think you would get to 200 shots or more easily.

But it don't meet your weight and length restriction

I can speak to 2 more fx guns the impact and dreamline. The impact I could probably tune to the best efficiency, but the dreamline wouldn't be far behind it.

I've been wanting a 177 dreamline compact tactical and cannot justify the price so I got. An old benjamin discovery, converted to 177 and trust thing let's me shoot for hours on what I consider " very little air"

I have a Red Wolf standard that shoots 10.3 pellets at about 885 fps on high power. I added the 700cc bottle to it and get at least 260 shots on high power. I usually fill it once I'm about 150 bar and don't usually run it down to the low pressure (130 bar??). Low power setting gets me about 12 fpe.

HW 50 shorten the barrel and recrown . Unlimited shot count , days ,weeks , years !

( I know , smart azz answer )

I think your first statement is the best , A larger air bottle on your HW 100 . Or a new HW100 with a larger bottle so you do not have to shoot the heavier gun all the time .

Bueno, teniendo en cuenta dónde estás, también tendrás que considerar si es un rifle confiable, robusto y con mantenimiento básico, y pensar un poco en conseguir repuestos.Tengo un Crown mk1 .177, es sin duda un gran rifle, mantenimiento básico, le gustan casi todos los balines, muy preciso, puedes instalar una botella más grande, a baja potencia te cansarás de disparar.Donde vivo, solo se permiten armas de baja potencia. Las leyes de armas son muy estrictas. La caza y el control de plagas también están prohibidos. Por eso, solo lo uso para tiro al blanco entre 25 y 50 yardas. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Red Wolf Standard in 177 was my first thought as well. Running at low power your shot count is up near 4-500 shots easily. Length on the standard is 38". Amazing rifle that will shoot pellets and slugs well.

 

[drsquall]

Yeah I have a friend that put the heliboard board in it and he gets a ton of shots.

What about a Daystate Wolverine? Ticks all the boxes with a bottle.

Wolverine R - Daystate

Daystate Wolverine R. I get at least 160 shots per fill at just under 20 fpe.

 

[elh0102]

I have a HW100 in .177 also. I tuned it down to around 11 fpe and it has a tremendous shot count. I've never counted, but for my yard shooting and pesting it goes months between fills.

 

[fishing43]

Agt vixen 177 set up by Derrick Wall for 11-12 fpe. 200 plus shots. And a bonus point is it likes the cphp. Grandkids and I really enjoy it for plinking and pest removal. No worries about punching holes in barn roofs.

 

[Hobbyman2007]

I’m liking the suggestions. I hadn’t considered the Wolverine but they do come up for sale the odd time on the used market. Knew they are going for close to 3k . Unfortunately AGT anything is unavailable here north of the border. I’ve already got an HW30 that does pretty much what I’m describing other than it being a PCP. I’m not opposed to a Redwolf but I would think they are quite a bit more than what I’m willing to spend. Keep em coming.

 

[humbled.ag]

When my Air Arms S500 Extra FAC was tuned for 11fpe I was able to get 200 rounds from 210cc of air with a 3000psi fill.

 

[MongooseV8]

You can get a double bottle adapter for the FX Impact and Maverick. Two 580cc bottles would give you a few extra shots.....

 

[bchannell]

Hw100 won't make the under 7# requirement, but it's a great gun.
Crown/Royale is an excellent choice. My 380/177 Crown is a laser and gets a lot of shots. Don't need a 700cc bottle, you could go 580 for tons of shots.

AGT Uragan Prince

...edited to add I just noticed it's not available to you.

 

[Hobbyman2007]

I think I’ve got it narrowed down to two rifles. Neither of which meet my weight requirement. The wolverine R or the RAW HM1000. I’m going to keep my eyes open in the used market up here. I’m not in a huge hurry to pick one up. For now my HW100 will fill the hole as I have a couple cylinders to shoot from.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

I sold a .177cal Red Wolf standard and still regret it to this day. Excellent rifle in every regard.
