So I got a walnut thumbhole carbine in 177. I have to say it is a rock solid platform.
I only had it a few weeks, but it is not fussy at all. Great trigger, balance, magazine, silencer.
Kinda pissd I did not get one years ago.

Great airgun.

Adjusting the power ( reg and hammer spring tension ) to the pellet you are shooting is ridiculously easy on that rifle.

Terry, you're a bad influence... I ordered a PCP tonight but it's a budget Gamo.

Even so, you're getting full credit or blame! grin

That HW platform was solid at its release and it just gets tweaked better and better, Congrats!

We'll need a more in-depth report as you get it wrung out!

Ya can't imagine the difference in a PCP til ya shoot one.

The crack cocaine of air rifles.

Can you remove the silencer on this? Was thinking of upgrading my Maurader and really looked to the HW…thought the silencer was bonded to the barrel?

I must admit, I am converted. Sure has made shooting .22 suppressed a thing of the past for pest control.

My factory HW silencer was replaced by a Tanto. It was slightly used, and the original owner did the swap. The threads are standard 1/2- 20 I think. So they must have had loctite on the threads. Again I read the solution is a heat gun and firm grip.
Tanto is pretty quiet. https://donnyfl.com/products/1-22-x-5-inches-tanto

I just opened my HW100 today and put a Hawke 6-24x on it. Mine is the laminate thumbhole carbine. I'm crazy excited to get it out to the range on Tuesday. My first PCP.

Edit: Mine is in .22

Got the HW100 out to the range today and was shooting at 25 and 50yds. The gun was flawless, easy to operate and completely intuitive unlike a lot of other fancy air rifles I've played with. I got 42rds (3 magazines) from a fill which I thought was pretty good. I had no front rest so I was basically rested on my range bag so the higher magnification settings was pretty hard to utilize. I have a 6-24x Hawke Airmax on it. At 25yds I was getting the proverbial one hole groups and at 50 I was seeing how much work I need to do but still 9 ring accurate.

Something to know, the gun is heavy and when you put a heavy scope on it then it becomes even heavier. I bought this gun to be a bench shooter so I could care less about the weight, keep it in and if you plan to drag it around the woods.

Air rifles are a law unto themselves and require long trials of shooting different pellet weights, head sizes, shapes, brands and tons of minutiae. I've yet to see one that wouldn't shoot well with some set of variables determined. This being my first PCP, I look forward to expending a lot of air to get to the bottom of how well we can get this thing to shoot.

Follow through is 3x more important with a PCP, than it is with a powderburner.

Which is why shootin a PCP is great practice.

Definite learning curves. Put another 200 pellets through it today and I'm pretty happy especially knowing it will just get better.

I just recently got a HW100S in .22 caliber. Loving it so far, super quiet and accurate with the 18.13 grain JSB Heavies.
