Knock knock, can I come in?

Hello,
This is my first time in the "springer lounge"
Well, basically I have to admit to being a new convert and seeing the light.
I bought a blue laminate HW97K in .177 about 18 months ago, tried it, quite liked it, and then put it away and forgot about it. About 2 weeks ago I decided get it out to change the god awful butt hook for an adjustable rubber recoil pad from J Ramsbottoms, (thanks to nobby for the suggestion). Using JSB 8.4s it was quite good but only sub 9ft/lbs over the chrono . A bit of fettling and a couple of power washers and,11ft/lbs happy days!! ............but now it decided it didn't like the JSBs, but loved the QYS 9.56
As I stated above I am now a "springer convert", I was considering a 177 Blackwolf, I don't think I need one now.
I'm not the greatest shot, but I'm pretty pleased with these groups
Thanks if you got this far

Good choice.
Springers are generally much more reasonably priced than PCP rifles even for high end ones so your money goes further too.

You've seen the light. Good shooting too

Hey, I've quite recently returned to PCPs after being springer only. I have however always kept my 97 and no matter how well I do on my PCPs, I always return to my 97. It keeps it real. Those that think they can shoot should try one.

Cracking shooting that @25 yards. Keep at it and you'll only get better too!

Springers ROCK.

I've had a springer, my Vulcan for 47 years, just thought, that's how springers shoot! The 97 has been a real eye opener. I can't believe I have owned it for 18 months and only recently discovered how good it is
