Intenseaty22’s .177 HW97K

I want to give a huge shout out to @KDog for this fantastic gun (and these great pictures) I almost let this one go when I saw it on the Classifieds section. Convinced myself twice not to buy it. Then I reached out with just a couple questions. The rest is history.

This is a seriously beautiful gun. Much better looking in person in fact that in these pictures. I received it on Friday, but have not been able to look it over, scope it, or shoot it until today. Below find accuracy and crony data. All shots were taken using JSB 10.34gr pellets at 25 yards by range finder. Scope is, for now, UTG Bug-Buster 3-12. 

5 shot group:

Wow! Great looking rig. I have always liked the blue laminate 97s. Maybe someday I will seek one out. So many airguns, so little money. Ha ha ha!


Way to go Sebastian! That is some good shooting. Keep it up and you will be outshooting dad in no time!


Christian, my 97 also loves the 10.3 JSBs and is shooting right where yours is. They are near identical except for cosmetics. I also have a set back trigger. That is a necessary item for these rifles imo. It puts the trigger right where it needs to be.
 
Oh dang! You are the one that got it!! I logged in to buy it, and it was sold. I knew I should not have waited. Congrats.

Sorry, not sorry? You snooze you loose? El que fue a villa perdió la silla? You hesitate, you.......?


Thanks. I actually saw it 20 mins after it posted. I waited 36 hours to pull the trigger. Kept checking on it in almost hoping it had sold so I couldn’t buy it. Too much temptation, glad I got it. 
 
Intenseaty, that is one beautiful gun! Really, I love everything about it... K-Dog, nice work! . I've wanted one of those with the blue laminate for a while and saw that in the classifieds. I went back and forth and finally decided not to enquire because I don't shoot any of the springers I have. Sure is pretty though! I hope she brings you and yours many good times!
