Had a pair of Hawke binoculars for a few years and love them. When i bought an air rifle recently and needed a scope, I naturally bough a Hawke and guess what? It’s brilliant, very pleased. Great products across the board.
Nice to see some of these companies actually stand by their words. Well done Hawke and a great advertisement to their products.
Hawke know that news of this kind of service spreads. I am about to purchase my first air rifle, likely the HW97KT, and after watching this, I can safely say that it will be a Hawke scope I purchase. I can imagine that some of the 14k (so far) viewers of this video who were undecided will likely be leaning towards Hawke now too. Thanks for sharing; just discovered your content, and really enjoying your open and honest viewpoint.
Cheers buddy much appreciated 👏
I also startend out with a PCP hw100 bullpup and then tryed a Springer. One thing you have to keep in mind with a Springer, if your grouping keeps getting worse check your stock screws. They loosen quicker than you think.
Yeah I checked them they were loose to begin with but tightened them up , cheers Gregory 🍻
Big up Hawke all you like after that. Had AA TXHC and Pro sport in Walnut. They are so nicely made. Sadly the HW97KT is so much easier/better to shoot. Twang and all.
It's just a shame these big name air gun manufacturers don't have the after sales service like Hawke.
Very true Mike 👍
Always nice to have some customer service/good warranty!
I just got myself a cheaper vantage 4x32ao for backyard shooting and yet I like it!
Nice don't matter about price as long as it works for you 😉
Bought a new airmax, and ao very stiff, contacted Hawke posted it Monday afternoon and new scope arrived Thursday morning (they said there was nothing wrong but it was obviously a new scope). They now have a lifetime supporter, fantastic service and great products.
I buy hw97k from 1995 and have use it for hunting i ever change the spring with ox spring for power and now i use venom glide kit for smooth. This air rifle is very good accuracy and free to go everywhere. Field target trophy is most accurate with venom glide kit moderate power but if use ox spring about 16fpe is good to use hn barracuda.
Cheers buddy appreciate the info 👍
I bet there was a few swear words in the kitchen at first !! Great video 👏👏
Youre not wrong lol , cheers buddy 👍
Great customer service. It’s hard to find that these days. Glad you back on track
This is the best Hawke advertisement. Great scopes. i use the Airmax series. I have seven of them. One on every HW springer i own. Even my "full power" HW80 can't kill them.
Hey mate grew up in Australia only using centerfire rifles obviously lots of good hunting here when I changed to a springer air rifle you have to think completely different no hugging let it lay free because you have the double recoil I couldn't work out how I was so accurate with the centre fire but couldn't get a good quality Springer to shoot keep practising don't hug
Nothing wrong with the main group there buddy👍🏻And what great service from Hawke.I think the HW97 would be my springer of choice.
Atvb fella👍🏻😀
Thanks Justin 👍
Don't always blame yourself, try a few different pellets it might group better, I've got a hw 97 and a hw 98 they both like different pellets...mike
Cheers Mike yeah I've been through quite a few and it likes weihrauch pellets best so far 👍
I saved up and purchased the Sidewinder 4-16x50 with the SRPro reticule (i don't know why more people don't use this reticule, i had to special order!) to use on my old AirArms S410 with a set of BKL mounts.... The Sidewinder for the money is excellent and for me took dusk shooting to another level, especially as the reticule is multilevel illuminated....
Nice one buddy youre right it's a brilliant scope 👏 👍
it sounds like you are starting to understand springers they wont accept being strangled.
great work by hawke iv been using their scopes for years,
i was having some trouble with a hw80 once with twang and rifle jumping about when shooting so i fitted a tbt tunning kit and it made a big differance 👍
Yeah I've been thinking of putting a tuning kit in , cheers David 🍻
Same here. I used the Vortek fac. tune kit for my HW80 in .25cal. Have an Hawke Airmax scope mounted and no problems at all. Cheers!
There’s not many of us that haven’t done that 😤🤠👍
🤪
Try the Chinese pellets Qiang Yuan 9.6gr 620mg. 4.5mm. I’ve just started to use them in my HW97k. They are amazing, getting thumb nail groups at 40 metres. I hold my rifle lightly, don’t use the artillery hold. Some of this internet advice is very poor. It’s all about you feeling comfortable holding your rifle.
Yeah im starting to realise its what works for each individual, il look into getting some of them pellets , thanks buddy 👍
Keep at it pal you'll get there , I've been shooting springers on and off for thirty years and I'm still sit .. 😆 lol .. mike
Haha nice like it
I have this exact gun but prefer the sport stock version. She likes Air Arms Express, QYS 8.48 and JSB 4.51 pellets.
Thank God for Hawke. You must have felt sick as a dog when that scope hit the tiles.😪
I did buddy called myself alot of names as you can imagine 🤪
Sounds like a good plan 😉👍.
I hope that helps improve your shot groups 👍.
Me too lol 😆
My experience of Hawk is one of great customer service
I own a 97 and 99 using qys pellets inside at 20 m both guns are near pcp accurate ---any other pellet make and the consistancy is not the same,
Yer..they good at they warranty. No issues with them..had a 8 year old lost it zero..new one In. A week......
Nice ! 🙂
You never mentioned before about dropping the scope 🤭. Huge improvement their mate at the target . I cant wait to see u getting your first pest with it . Something so pleasing about it ,with useing a springer
Didn't think k I'd done any internal damage pal plus embarrassed to say ha
@@airhunteruk easy enough done mate , ud of damaged it inside. Ull have some smile when u drop a pest with it 😁
Hi my friend. I've messaged you previously regarding shooting your 97KT, and politely trying to help you along your journey, as I'm quite new too.
I bet it was a real kidney punch dropping your rifle, as the weight of the rifle wouldn't have helped. I did the same thing with mine.
Mine was in its gun sleeve, and I was hold of the spring clip shoulder strap, and it it gave way. It wasn't a strong impact on the tiled floor, and much of the impact was cushioned by the gun sleeve and the bottom step of a wooden pair of step ladders.
That said, I'll still need to check zero though. It was like losing a leg, so know how you feel.
Huge respect must go to Hawke UK, who acted in a most kind manner.
We get so used to watching Watchdog type programmes, where working class, everyday people are duped by people who know they are in the wrong, and are embarrassed into righting their wrongs.
Tell you what mate, pardon the pun, that's definitely a bullet dodged, lol.
Though huge respect to Hawke UK, and a lovely story to hear. Horrible in the beginning, but with a great outcome.
Best wishes mate, Ian.
Thanks Ian that's really nice of you to say, how you getting on with yours now ?
@@airhunteruk
Hi my friend. Sorry, I wasn't aware you'd replied, but thankyou.
I'm doing ok, thankyou. I have the exact same rifle as you have. It was the first rifle they showed me. I was like a child in a sweet shop. In hindsight, I'd have bought the blued barrel and walnut stock.
I've never liked the black, tactical plastic stock. I always wanted to make my own, handmade, laminated gunstock, though was terrified by the router shooting off and making a hash. The router would be the only electrical tool I would use, as I think generally, it would be to much to ask a hobbyist to chisel out the channel for the action.
I eventually grew a pair. I sourced the Walnut and Ash previously from a local, specialist supplier. The first week of this year, I caught Covid, though wasn't greatly ill with it. I'd got two weeks off work, so set too.
I spent around five and a half hours sawing the laminates, clamped in my Black and Decker Workmate, then began glueing them together, layer by layer, or else they would out of position glued all at once. By the end of the month, my stock was made. I'd say it shoots more accurate, with a slightly heavier stock, and been told its well balanced by an established shooter.
I'm a postie of thirty years and shown it a good few of my customers, those that don't mind shooting! They all were impressed, and made some of them realise, we're all good at something, maybe??
I'd love to send you pics, as I have them over the whole journey of the build. As I'm fifty two, I'm not up with this tech age. The only electrical tools I used, were the router and the jig saw, for the ninety degree square cutting angle. Everything else was Black and Decker Workmate, rasps, metalwork files, going down through the different grades of sandpaper. For the finger grooves, I made forms out of scrap timber, then wrapped sandpaper around them. There's always a way, if you look hard enough!
When the seven laminates were glued, I drew pencil lines, then used rat tail and half round rasps to shape the stock, around the pistol grip and cheekpiece areas.
It was really weird. I lost my much loved father in 2017. He was genius at making things. As I was shaping the stock, and saw it come to life, my hands felt like Dads hands. It was a real strange feeling, I was thinking of him the whole time.
I wish you well my friend, I'd love to send you some photographs.
Take care, Ian.
Thanks Ian and thanks for taking the time to write this , sounds like you're good with youre hands and put you're skills to good use , I'm not skilled enough in woodwork to make my own stock so kudos to you 👍, would be nice to see the pics , you could email me if you like at airhunter0101@gmail.com be nice to see them
I like the look of your green top, what brand and jacket is it please?
Pentagon Men's Hercules Fleece Jacket 2.0 Wolf Grey amzn.eu/d/co1j5bk
Brilliant fleece for the money never shrinks or misshapes very warm and comfortable
Try rws superdome my 97 loves em 5p group at 30 metres but that's at the range inside..mike
Cheers Mike will do 👍
To say it was your fault that is fantastic service. Once had a Theoben sirocco classic swapped it pluss money for a rapid 7, one of the silliest things I have ever done God it was amazing to shoot it can't have come off the shelf like that must have had work done. No you are getting good with the gun, that place wear you shooting at looks grand. Well done pal keep it up, shooting rats up near you tonight
Nice micheal, you local to skipton then ?
@@airhunteruk rossendale , but do abit round Gisburn area
@@michaelholt7963 I know gisburn , cool you got a channel on here ?
@@airhunteruk me no! Just shoot leave all that tech shit alone pal ain't got the know how
Starting to think I should of just left it to pure hunting lol
Nothing wrong with that chap
Its like all tools more you use the better you get
Doing good so far I'd say
Great gun to be doing it with has to be the Rolls of springers
I have an old hw35 a bit noisy be accurate no good for hunting lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🦕😁✌🤞
Ps nice one on the scope
Cheers buddy thanks for the lovely comment 👍
just watched this fab video. get yourself a thick glove
Thanks Brian , thanks for watching 👍
Artillery hold is overrated or miss interpreted doesn't work anywhere but a bench impossible to not touch the rifle, best advice I heard was hold it like a glass of water.
Yeah I agree I eventually figured out my own technique in the end and worked better for me buddy 👍
@@airhunteruk Lots of practice also helps. Found anti-cant bubble very handy as a training aid and when stretching the range further.
Wait till you get old then youll know about dropping things.
Haha
Not long till I’m there 😞
its for all hawke scopes
I almost cried
Was is a word.
Have t-sharts mate just cup it !!! Or just drop it !!!! 😊
