Love models. I’m buillding a Ferrari.No airgun stuff this Christmas. My next airgun purchase is going to be an HW97K and one of the Hawke Airmax scopes. Been saving up for it, but I'm not quite there yet. However, I did splurge a little bit. I bought a new Porsche.
It's a 1/20 scale model kit.

Nice! I'm a fellow Technic fan. I built the Ferrari F1 and the Unimog. The Unimog has a working air compressor that powers the pneumatic claw arm on the back. Engine with pistons, working suspension, differentials, something like 5000 parts. Lego's for grownups. Gotta love it.
You'll like the 97K.No airgun stuff this Christmas. My next airgun purchase is going to be an HW97K and one of the Hawke Airmax scopes. Been saving up for it, but I'm not quite there yet. However, I did splurge a little bit. I bought a new Porsche.

Yes sir. Looked at it a couple times torn between that and the UK Tomahawk that was also listed. I have the Turk built versions but have always wanted to get hands on the UK versions but the $780 they were asking was more than I could spare from the bank account.
If I remember right from reading history on them (and I may not, someone please correct me if so), the R8/original 50s had 25mm comp tubes and what became the UK's HW99s and the newer version HW50s sold today have 26mm comp tubes.
That was a dandy lot of airguns AOA received. Must have been an estate. I sure like my custom Benjamin 392. It’s a tack driver. I never saw the R8 or the Tomahawk. Probably a good thing. Congratulations. The R8 is arguably the best Weihrauch ever made next to the HW55.
The Tomahawk was a Venom version they wanted $780 for and was gone already by the time I got done ordering and paying for the R8. Just a matter of rebuilding the gun fund and watching for another, Venom or not to come up for sale.
I am so jealous you guys were able to find that rifle in 20 cal. I’m hoping I can find one in Canada this year
The R&D that goes into this product is second to none. I’ve built a lot. All the big Star Wars for my grand son. Crow
I talked to Quinton at D&L last year. He said he was not taking orders for .20 and .25. Not sure why. Don’t know if the same this year. Got my R9 from Canada Supply and the 95 at AoA. Crow
That's a beautiful stock. If you plan on using the irons, I'd have him bring the comb down 3/8". That's if he does stock work.I ordered a HW95N in .20 caliber from AOA.
The stock is fairly nice and has unique figure in it, the action I sent to Mike Ellingsworth so he can roll it in magic dust! ( Tune )

I wish I could use open sights, but my eyes don’t focus on the irons and the target.
. why the short K model ? just asking i Have the K model also wishing for the long 97 to match my HW77 long , much less cocking effort and i like the looks better .No airgun stuff this Christmas. My next airgun purchase is going to be an HW97K and one of the Hawke Airmax scopes. Been saving up for it, but I'm not quite there yet. However, I did splurge a little bit. I bought a new Porsche.

I've always liked shorter carbine length guns, both PB and air. My decision now is what caliber I will go with. I don't have anything in .20 cal, so I'm leaning towards that.
