Which one shall I keep ?

[Oldfart]

So I find myself in the position of buying 2 springers today .
Bit of a story but an older guy I know brought both these brand new in the last year.
But could not use them as he could not cock them . So both are “as new” literally had no pellets through them , until I just put 5 through each in my garden.
Ideally I was after a .22 springer , prob a 99s or 95.
One is a hw95 in .177 and the other is a hw80 in .22 .
The 80 shoots so smooth . Hardly any recoil .
The 95 a bit more snappy as it’s a .177 .
My thoughts are to sell the 80 and keep the 95 ?
What do you guys reckon?

 

[Tim_B]

you were originally after a .22....so I'd say the opposite

 

[Right Cant]

Buy both

 

[Rog5]

Keep the 80 and get another 95 in .22

 

[Backgardenplinker]

The 80 sounds the nicer to shoot and you wanted a 22 springer.. Strange youd want to sell it and keep the 177 95 to me

Meh. Both look fantastic so a win/win whatever you do

Question, what is a "177" ???

 

[Neil54]

Keep the 80.

 

[Oldfart]

Before I came back to check the reply’s I had decided o keep the 80

 

[Mike Woody Watkins]

Sell both and buy a .22 HW95. Lovely rifles.

 

[Ian Cartmell]

I'd pop the 80 over the chrono, just for reassurance on its power.

Go with your gut sounds like the 80 was better for you

Stay firmly in touch with your masculine side, and keep the 80

 

[Byronic]

Usual answer - both!

No rush to get rid, is there?

I generally prefer the . 22 shot cycle.

 

[Mike Woody Watkins]

…….I generally prefer the . 22 shot cycle.

I’ve always believed springers are best in .22 and PCP’s are better in .177.

Never shot .20 or .25 so can’t comment on them.

 

[P1000]

Yep keep the 80.

 

[NEIL MCMLX]

Get the 95 bugger the hearing in your right ear! That twang is almost hypnotic

Proper gun

Keep both - then get some more! Then the rest of us “hoarders” won’t feel so bad about our collections!

 

[Oldfart]

95 now on guntrader

 

[Oldfart]

Can’t afford to keep both
