I'm a disabled shooter, recently used a mates gen3 with the V rest at a shoot.anyway, Santa brought me one a bit before Christmas and now I use it for all shooting.as you said, some of us can't lie down in the mud .btw,if I'm using it I don't take a score card .I also Don't rest the gun on my tripod, I rest my hand,so the gun isn't touching the tripod.
Thats a dam good habit to practise getting into, far safer than loading after cocking , i will be doing that myself from now on thanks for a great video aGAIN Gary .
Excellent video. I can't believe the little recoil that you have on your HW98. I fitted a short stroke kit but used my own top hat, spring and guide. It's got s faster lock time and the muzzle flip is a lot less than it was. The recoil is good but not as good as your gun! 😎
Hi, love your tutorials, and as a disabled and mad keen airgunner I think you are very forward thinking in your attitude to disabilities especially to HFT. Regards David.
Good video on the Primos shooting stick, excellent piece of resting plat form and has you rightly stated do not drag the Primos along the ground carry it next to no weight to worry about 😉👍
If you want to stabilise a tripod in the field you can do it a couple of ways. 1) a bungee wrapped around the lower truss and then hook it onto a tent peg driven into the ground. 2) a lot tripods have a hook on the bottom hang a weight off that to steady it.
Regarding barrel weights, being a man who has a decent-sized machine shop just for good measure, I reckon most people should be able to find a machinist who could turn out a nice barrel weight in a matter of minutes, half an hour tops. I mean, it's just a few passes on a lathe and you'll have something that looks like a million bucks once you've blued it, and that can be done easily with a cold-bluing solution available everywhere. Also, having one custom-made gives you the possibility to have one at the _exact_ weight you want.
I have a .20 cal HW98 in order, hoping to have the best Of .177 and .22. Special order only it seems and a a 3 month wait! I’m hoping to get it tuned and sort the squirrels in the back garden and the rabbits in the permission. A piece on your scopes might be interesting. There seem to be so many options nowadays it’s crazy! My s410 has a Bushnell fixed 10x40, my HW97 has an Optisan.
I just started using a Primos Tripod shooting pod for when sitting on a chair. It's OK as long as the ground is allowing proper height. If not it's not real good, not real good at all. Got it for use from a blind.
Nice video, thanks, When fitting my TBT spring guides to my new HW98, I saw that the piston seal had been chewed up during installation at the factory, due to sharp edges in the barrel bore. I hear that Brit Seal make a good replacement piston seal but can’t find a source - can you recommend one please?
Would love to see a pellet video where after weighing and selecting pellets they are shot through a Chrono and graphed and then shot out to 40 yards to see the best grouping!
i would love to see a shooting sticks video. i have used them for many years on muzzle loaders and for a few years on springer air rifle. never found anyone else that use them on springers. i live in Oregon U.S.A. love your show.👍👍👍👍👍
two 4.5' hickory sticks , two zip ties at the top and a shoe string at the bottom. cheap, light and fully adjustable. people laugh at me and say what the hell are those things.
Lol, a Brit shooting a Spitfire with a German gun. HW98 is gonna be my next gun, love Weihrauchs and springers, got a HW97K & HW99S, recently got a HW57 but my dad took a liking to it so guess I don't have that anymore, had HW35, HW30 & HW80 a long time ago, not interested in HW90, never see HW85 about so between HW95 & HW98 I think it's worth the extra for the HW98.
I’ve recently bought an HW98 recently. As you say a nice rifle. (Unfortunately the Hawke Airmax scope I got was faulty, so back to the shop for a replacement).
Great video Gary. I would love you to show us all how to use the Primos Gen 3 Trigger Sticks with a springer. Great sticks but a lot of people say you can only use them with PCP? Thanks. ATB MMMD
Tony Wall Sandwell Field Sports says theres no such thing as a tuning kit only replacement kits, Tuning means polishing internals what takes many hours
A drop in kit has the advantage of being sized correctly making fitting easy. Agreed it is no substitute for a professional tune service. See how much time Paul Watts puts in to get the rifle exactly how he wants it.
great video,love the look of the hw98,ive got a hw95k,i only shoot down the local range,tempted to replace it for the 98,do you think ill find a great enogh differance between them,as im only a happy amature that just plinks around, looking forward to the next video,cheers.
HW 95 and HW 98 are actually the same gun inside, the action is the same just the barrel and stock are different. You could put another stock on your HW 95.
Hi Gary it would be nice to test tripods look at bog and gen 3 please carry on doing you videos and you got me going again hw98 there’s something old but bloody good kc
Garry is the TBT kit in the gun the standard kit or short stroke kit?. And has anything else been done ie polished piston it seems to recoil far less than normal.
Great job! Can you please tell me what scope you put it on? I just bought mine HW98 (.22 version), and is in finding a good scope, budget is ~$500. Thank you.
I realise that this is 6 months old but I, for one, would really appreciate some vids with shooting sticks. I want to invest in a primos set and if I could use in competition, I’d invest. Without that, I can only shoot benchrest.
GARY...i really like you vids....BUT...you make me cringe at times !....like picking your rifle up by the SCOPE ????...no no no no no....but keep em comming pal....your public love you...👏👏👏👊
Ive just purchased this gun today from Bradford Stalker in Birtley. Mine is in 177 in a grey laminate stock. Its a beautiful gun.
Sounds great :-)
Brilliant review as ever! Thanks for directing me to this, can’t believe how little recoil and movement it has! That tuning kit clearly does the job!
Excellent review, the 98 is absolutely top of my wants list, just love them.
David Paylor There honestly Brilliant

Please do a vid on using shooting sticks , as i have bought some to try my self .
Would be interesting to see how you use them 👍
Great video Gary as usual. I would be interested seeing a video on trigger sticks using springers and PCPs. I have Primos trigger sticks gen 3.
I've just ordered some Gen 2's

@@dlh1947us Sounds perfect :-)
Had never considered loading the pellet prior to cocking, makes do much sense.
It so much easier :-) Gary

I have just taken delivery of the Primos Gen 2. Springer vid on its way.
@@garychillingworth What a great guy you are, thank you so much. Looking forward to learning more from you.
I've a Sandwell tuned 98 smooth as silk
But heavy.
Really good video

great video Gary i`m looking for my first air rifle and i have been looking at the HW98 or HW95
For me, it's always the TX, but I do love my 98 and the new ones come with a thread to fit a moderateor.
Derek Wheeler Go for the HW98
Best to shoulder a few different rifles and get the one suits you best.
Nice video, you sound like the bloke off Wheeler Dealers.
100%, I'm a big WD fan and only just realised I had nicked Mike's goodbye 😀
great video,love the look of the hw98,ive got a hw95k,i only shoot down the local range,tempted to replace it for the 98,do you think ill find a great enogh differance between them,as im only a happy amature that just plinks around, looking forward to the next video,cheers.
I've just taken delivery of a HW95 for a new series. Let me play with it and I'll let you know.
HW 95 and HW 98 are actually the same gun inside, the action is the same just the barrel and stock are different. You could put another stock on your HW 95.
Is that a Supermarine Spitfire as its got a porthole ?
Pilot seems happy enough 9:19
It's a mk3
Hi Gary it would be nice to test tripods look at bog and gen 3 please carry on doing you videos and you got me going again hw98 there’s something old but bloody good kc
No problems - Chilly
Garry is the TBT kit in the gun the standard kit or short stroke kit?. And has anything else been done ie polished piston it seems to recoil far less than normal.
Short stroke kit Steve. I haven't polished anything yet.
@@garychillingworth . Many thanks garry. See you in the new year.
Hi Gary great video can I ask if you fitted the 10mm or 12mm short stroke extension? Cheers
I think it was the 10mm
my 98 was tuned by Tony Wall Sandwell Sports. Is it as good as they Tunning kit you use
Shooting on a Spitfire😮 should have been a Messcherschmitt 😂 That is a good one.
I think Flopover have a 109 in development - they do have a Japanese Battleship.
every rifle in your hands works flawlessly , i really don't know that's you or the rifle۔ brilliant performance 👌💖
Defiantly not me :-) Gary
@@ShootingCountryTV Yeah Mr Gary Chillingworth 🙂
Try A&M gunsmiths for a silencer.
Hope this is of help I use a Primos shooting stick you could possible test one out just a suggestion 👍
Video coming next Thursday Neil, Primos Gen2
Great job! Can you please tell me what scope you put it on? I just bought mine HW98 (.22 version), and is in finding a good scope, budget is ~$500. Thank you.
It's a Optisan CP 10x32. Stunning scope, they also do a variable magnification version
Gary can you tell me what pellets you used for this video
I realise that this is 6 months old but I, for one, would really appreciate some vids with shooting sticks.
I want to invest in a primos set and if I could use in competition, I’d invest.
Without that, I can only shoot benchrest.
Hi Buddy, we have a stick video.
th-cam.com/video/yTjyNYG1afE/w-d-xo.html
What scope is fitted in this video please?
What difference does it make as to when you load the pellet?
It can't chopped one's thumb off when it hasn't been cocked
Crocs ?
I love my Crocs. They are Camo
What's better TX200 mk3 or HC?
Same accuracy, I like the HC as you can fit a silencer
@@ShootingCountryTV and how about Pro Sport?
what is a tbt kit?
It's a replacement kit for spring guides - check out the HW98 tune video and you will see me screw up fitting one. Gary
@@ShootingCountryTV ok thanks
The new (2023) laminate does not come with silencer unfortunately
Good vid, Gary. What a nice quality rifle, the HW98. What scope were you using? I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your air rifle content. Scott from USA
It's the Optisan Cp10x32 - Lovely scope. -Gary
GARY...i really like you vids....BUT...you make me cringe at times !....like picking your rifle up by the SCOPE ????...no no no no no....but keep em comming pal....your public love you...👏👏👏👊
😉👍
Sir gary, I think this hw98 is not more powerful🤔
for gods sake don't let the airgun gods tell you how to load a spring gun, really winds me up.
