HW99s Tuning
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.21 день назад
So the TX200 HC I traded my HW80 in for is tuned by Phil Crampton at Ratworks. This got me thinking, how much difference can a tuning a rifle really make? Also will I, as a pretty average shooter, notice the difference? To answer this question I have put my hand in my pocket, forked out the cash and sacrificed my 99s. It is now at Ratworks for the full treatment. Follow up video will be in 6-8 ...

Btw medium is high and high as medium on these I guess you found that out it’s a funny mechanical thing on these
@@recklessjunkie Thanks for bringing this up👍 I believe it is something to do with the medium transfer port being more efficient at 12ft/lb
Great video, the 99 is a good gun and great value. Keep that dust from your bag away from your gun as it will act like grinding paste when mixed with oil 😮
@@MRD765 yep I need a new bag! Thanks for watching. 👍
Why did u not find the best pellet to suit the gun and do ur test from there it was a waste uf time
@@barriemercer5102 I had run out of the rifles favourite pellet. So I used a good Allrounder and one it shoots well with. To be honest I also felt that it would be better to use a pellet that it shot ok with rather than one it shoots brilliantly in the hope that any improvement in performance would be more obvious and easy to show.
Hi, The RWS FIELDLINE SUPERDOMES, go well through more guns than they don't, namely through my 45 year old, .22 Webley Vulcan springer and my SMK Victory CP2 - CO2, Rifle/Pistol Combo' (also in .22) How diverse can you get ?
@@felgate11 I’ll have to give these a go!
Just discovered your channel sir. In the more recent video about the hw99s you mentioned people don’t find your content and I have to confirm. I’ve been watching as many videos as possible on the dreamline tactical compact and never came across yours! Subbed👊🏻 do you know if there are even shorter barrels for this rifle? I’m thinking about getting one but want it to be as short as it possibly can be:) gonna be a rat gun, shooting hades, don’t care about the shot count:) would the tube version have a shorter barrel perhaps?
@@kims2r Thanks for the sub! I will have to speak to my nephew and get some advice on boosting my you tube presence! As for the barrels, as far as I know 300mm in .177 or .22is as short as fx goes. That would be for any model. You could speak to a gunsmith and get your barrel cut down and re crowned. For the shortest package the smallest carbon bottle would be best as the tubes are longer.
@@gardenguns Is yours 300mm? I would’ve hoped it would look shorter, even with the silencer that seemed longer than what I had in mind:) thanks for your reply! Regarding the algorithm, it seems very moody and sometimes random to me… also everything regarding rifles and shooting might get some drag from RUclips itself, not sure though:) hope you take off soon!
@@kims2r yes mine is a 300. To be fair to it the only shorter gun I have owned was my old BSA ULTRA MMC. That thing is a legend. The FX in my set up is pretty short, and sweet to handle. The foldable AR stock helps as well.
😮 STOP talking duck and use English....😮
Hello can it be filled with a handpump? Or do you need a tank or compressor?
@@alimenhem3348 The bottle on this is big. If you want to make the most of this rifle I would suggest a bottle or a compressor
Nice video but how far away were you when shooting at the cans and other targets?
@@Joey0367 Thanks 👍 I think I was at 10 yards.
Great review, I’m currently shooting a HW77K, a decision based entirely on aesthetics, there’s just something I don’t like about the TX200 stock, and to be honest I really can’t imagine how a TX200 would shoot any better than a HW77 or 97K, so I’m incredibly happy with my choice, however, I may have to satisfy my curiosity at some point and get behind a TX200 (subject to my wifes approval of course).
@@westhighlandtraditionalarcher when you do, I would love to hear what you think. We all have to get our wives approval!
I just bought a tx200 hc in walnut in canada. Cost was $1250.00 canadian plus 12% tax plus $70 shipping . Beautiful gun is all I can say.
@@beadblaster9508 Nice! Out of interest what power levels are you allowed?
@@gardenguns unlimited. It canada it is considered a firearm same as as rimfire or centre fire rifle. You need a possession and acquisition licence (PAL)to purchase.
@@beadblaster9508 😬 I hear you are also restricted to 5 rounds in a magazine, no semi auto even in a shotgun or .22LR?
@@gardenguns 5 rounds for rifle but 10 rounds for handguns. Handguns require permit to go to range each time. They cannot be carried except in exceptional cases for work ect. Laws are constantly changing. You cannot resell, trade ect a handgun in canada. You can own it till you die and then it is disposed of. Cannot be handed down and has to be registered. 1500 guns models have been prohibited so in regards to semi auto you have to check on this list. Trudeau is trying to ban guns but provinces are fighting back. Alberta has come out and said the laws he passes in regards to guns are not enforceable in alberta, that it is a provincial issue so we will see where that goes.
Good video, it’s all personal when choosing a rifle, when I’d decided to buy a springer I shot loads of different ones from members of my club, and it came down to the TX don’t know why it just felt better. I didn’t want to buy new due to price/depreciation etc so had a long wait searching for the one I wanted. I love my TX and will never sell it, it will be like my grandfather’s pocket watch and passed on 😂
@@willowthewisp1615 my son hates springers. However even he wants the TX when I am pushing up the daisies!
@@gardenguns Same my lad won’t use my R10 or LGV just the TX !
The comb is so high on my R9 stock you can't use the iron sights, I wish Weihrauch would correct this!🤷♂
@@wesbodine6102 Mr Beeman, take note.Thanks for watching 👍
For me there are three issues with the TX200, the price for what it is, the bear trap & being a leftie it is not ambidextrous.
It’s a one off purchase that will last a lifetime, worth saving up a little longer for if it’s something that you really want 👍😎
@@Lee_Blenkinsopp I think you have nailed it there Lee!

@@steve4697 It doesn’t matter what it is providing you have a smile on your face at the end of the day!
@gardenguns absolutely..a lot of people knock Air Arms over pricing, but they are trying to produce in Britain, something I think has been discouraged more than helped over recent decades, I'm not surprised they cost what they do ,at the end of the day you're getting a very high end springer for less than a good pcp

I have one its a beautiful rifle. But I'm a crap shot with it. Still love it
@@mikeenglish7063 yep, as I keep saying, I am mediocre at best!
@gardenguns I'm terrible but still enjoy shooting
Thanks for another good vid. A good choice I think . Before BAR could no longer export air rifles I had the choice of a new TX or a Prosport and I chose the latter.Its .22. Ive had it short stroked, 10.5fpee ,V mach d, 11.2 fpe, and FACAir Arms at just sub 14fpe. I still cannot after all this time consistently get reasonable groups with it.Probably me, but my CFX gets much tighter groups with far less sffort. Still up for sale but over here its just not got the following it has in the UK. Sorry, didnt mean to turn it into a moan.. All the best Keith
@@user-hk5zb4oi7i I had a 97k that was tuned. And I could never get consistent groups with it, so it got traded in for an R10!
I thought the HC variant came out with the mk3? The mk1 and 2 had no shorter versions

@@gardenguns Thank you 😁 let’s hope it warms up a bit too
I've had both HW97 & AA TX200HC - my take is that the AA is better out of the box, but the HW with a tune is the best...... however, they are the only 2 rifles that I've sold as I find I ultimately prefer a good quality tuned break barrel. Keep up the great work..always an honest personal opinion.
@@stevepowell3475 Thanks for your reply Steve. Have a good weekend.
What break barrel did you get? 🤔👍
@@brynybach7741 Hi... I already had a few good quality break barrels to use as a comparison. Mainly HW's and generally tuned by the late Steve Pope (RIP) of Vmach - my favorites being reduced cylinder HW80's, HW98's and a reduced cylinder AA ProElite. These in my opinion are superb rifles and far more convenient to shoot than an under-lever. However this is a very personal preference based on 60+ years of air-rifle shooting😏
I've had a mk2 tx and two tx200sr's and now have a 97 and in reality, they are all very similar in performance. I think in the end it's down to the fleshy bit behind the trigger. Great review.
@@iwanvanderhut4159 Thanks for watching! What’s your take on the price difference on the new rifles?
When you take into account, to get the 97 upto the tx standard a good drop in kit is required . So that's about 70£ plus labour there goes 100-110£.Now they are not so far apart.
@@iwanvanderhut4159 if you drop £200 on a full tune for a 97 you £30 over the cost of a stock TX200 here in the UK. Is a close call

@@paultowns9880 Thanks Paul. 👍
RATworks 'superior tune'. HA! HA! what a load of bollocks - it'll be better but they will do the same job as any of us could. New spring, guides, and top hat with some molly for lube.... PLEASE send it off to a proper 99 tuner who actually knows what they are doing... THEN you will know what a superior tune is. I've got an SFS Imp MKII and that is a 'superior tune'... If you don't want to wait for 6 months for an Imp MKII then there's a guy north of Swansea who is hands down the BEST tuner, and he'll sort your 99!! 😉
@@greylag8630 l would love to get my hands on an Imp! I am sorry that you are not a fan of Ratworks. They are my local tuning company and I try and support local businesses. A fair few of my PCP's have been to Phil. I have never had any issue with the work he has done and the results I have had from it. The TX200 I have has been through him and it is sweet. So I am looking forward to seeing what the results are on the 99. I haven't had the fortune to try any other 99's from the other tuners but would love the oppurtunity to do a direct comparison.
Try Nick Simmons he’s local to us
@@gardenguns appreciate you supporting local business - good on you. Maybe if you get hold of another 99 you could get that tuned by a ‘proper’ tuner and see the difference beaten the RW99 and a ‘proper’ tuner. Keep the reviews going, always good to watch. 😎👍

Good interesting vid. Not the best tuner for springers. But will be interesting to see the results. Been looking for the 80 on Leicestershire air guns. But no luck yet🤞🏻
@@kevsmith972 it’s there Kev, unless it sold today. I was in the shop yesterday and it was still out on the racks.
@@gardenguns will have to ring them. I’ve only looked on their site because I’m to far away. Did you say it was ratwork tuned? And do you remember the price on it? Thanks for your time and videos 👍
@@kevsmith972 Thank you for watching. It makes it worth putting the time in knowing that they are of interest. No the 80 is not tuned as far as I am aware. However it has one of the nicest, laziest firing cycles I have come across. I thought it was tuned when it first came into the shop. Not sure on the price. Give Phil and Tracie a call.
My stock HW99 was putting out 10.2. not a bad rifle, not as accurate as my other Weihrauchs but still a quality bit of kit. I'll be aiming to add a Vortek Kit when available and see if a gentle fettle ups the power and removes the slight spring resonance
@@keith6930 Please drop a comment in on this thread when you get it done. It would be great to hear about your results.
Me personally would have kept and tuned the 80 and dumped the 99 I've had two both been awful and I do love a hw.
@@TheSnafflepup Thanks for the sub! I am looking forward to getting the rifle back and seeing if my agricultural approach can notice the difference.
@@TheSnafflepup to de fair I am waiting for a Venom tuned 80 to turn up in my life! I traded my original 99s for the 80 and missed it so much I bought this 99s second hand. It is the current model though. It will be interesting to see how it shoots when I get it back.
@gardenguns I had a venom tuned hw80 it was my original hw80 from 1985 I sold then was given back in bits 20 years later after my Dad died I had it venomed but sadly sold it years later to buy a theoben rapid 12. Probably one of the dumbest things I ever did.

So sad, English people have no rights to have guns, but they still have kings, queens and princes...
@@cesarp577 Well I think we are in a better place than the Canadians at the moment!
@@gardenguns sure
I’ve got both the gen4 BB firing version and a similar one to yours that’s sold here in the US as the. gen5, only mine uses a belt rather than a revolving cylinder. The BB firing one is superior in every way aside from accuracy. It’s far more realistic and even field strips like the real deal. When it comes to accuracy however, even with the atrocious 2 stage trigger pellets are still better than BB’s. The thing is, you’re not going to get very good accuracy from either one, so choosing the pellet firing version really doesn’t make a lot of sense.
@@GR-cf4qh Totally agree. The Gen 4 4.5mm bb version is the most authentic. Closest we get to the real thing in the UK. For you guys in the States it makes a good training tool if you don’t want to blow through a load of 9mm. Wish we could get proper handguns back.
@@gardenguns I feel for you guys. Even over here where most of us can own the real deal, shooting an actual firearm is pretty much something you have to plan your day around unless you happen to live way out in the country or next to a range. For every cartridge I shoot I'll probably go through 100 or more pellets and BB's simply because shooting them is easier and more convenient.
My grandfather taught me to shoot cans with this rifle almost 20 years ago. "Taught" may be a bit of a overstatement, as he basically just slapped it into my hands and as I'd seen in movies and video games, I got to blasting! Being a very user-friendly rifle, the only thing I had to get used to was the iron sights, as I had only shot my fathers scoped single shot rifle before. What an amazing experience.. Years later he passed the rifle to me and to this day, I still can't believe the accuracy you get out of this rifle. I have never adjusted the sights and it's still dead on. It's actually so accurate that i've been wanting to get a scope on it for years but just haven't gotten to it.. I know there's a mount by Umarex and some dude made his own rail. I even saw some raised iron sights with tritium once. I always carry this rifle with me to barbeque and sauna evenings with friends and such, as it's so much fun with a group of friends, and they always get hooked! The only thing I often find difficult with this rifle is to try and stay on count of the 8 pellets when you're having so much fun! Cheers from Finland!
@@villepummila2768 Thank you so much for sharing your story. I wish that your experience happened more frequently around the world and especially in the UK. Rifles like this are a fantastic tool to introduce people to shooting. Accurate, easy to shoot and awesome fun! Huge love to our brothers and sisters in Finland. I wish you the best and hope you have a great summer and many more bbq’s!
Surprised you are getting rid of one of the finest break barrels ever made for a TX. A good HW80 is incredibly accurate. My only guns to equal it are the 77 and 97. I have a prosport and an HW 80 i bought in 89. I know which one i would keep.
@@majorscope I am sure I will regret trading it in. However the TX200 I have is an HC and is SWEET! Also it’s in .177 and I don’t have a springer in that caliber. As good as my HW80 was it was long and a bit of a safe queen. I found myself shooting my 99s more. So time for the 80 to go to finance the TX.
Yes I agree that the HW 80 is one of the finest break barrel rifle but the MK1 is the best of all of them also the air arms pro elite is probably the finest break barrel ever produced in looks and quality.
From the states, awesome. Keep it up!
@@tomallen6073 Thanks Tom, always good to hear from our brothers across the pond!
Hw50 basically the same rifle i have one and I love it totally agree with you with it being the one that you would keep if you had to make a choice i would make the same choice only mine is the only one I have and that keeps things simple. The reason I would make that choice is that the rifle is an all rounder for weight power usability and quality.
@@johnroberts3723 thanks, for watching John. Keep an eye open. I have decided to get mine tuned to see if it makes much of a difference. There will be a video going up when I get it back.
Under a 1000 Not a bad gun
Hello. Today I received a new Vixen cal.177. I noticed they increased the magazine from 15 diabol to 16 diabol. The inner rotating part has different shapes and groupings, otherwise everything is as before.
Thank you for the update. 🫡
I've had 3 of the 99s in the past, for the money there's no better spring rifle, But I'd say to anyone pay a bit more and get the HW95, longer cylinder so can give more power if wanted, shorter screw cut barrel, and slightly thicker, also has a cocking shoe that rides on the cylinder, no chance of gauling. Oh and the 99s have a drooping barrel, supposedly better for the open sights, put a straight edge on the barrel block when the rear sights removed and you'll see the barrel isn't inline with the cylinder, it makes zeroing them with a scope difficult, you'll find you need the elevation screwed near all the way out, that's anti clockwise, where as with the 95 you don't have that prob.
Thanks for the info. I hadn't noticed the drooping barrel. Will have to get my hands on a 95 now!
@@gardenguns Yes the 99s are good, but that drooping barrel really put me of them,
Just taken on Tsar, epic accuracy!

Great review. I would say that the HW80, with the right tune is arguably one of the finest break barrels on the market - as long as you don't need to lug it around thru the Fields...I think that place can be taken by a HW99s. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Steve. I would love to get my hands on one of the venom tuned HW80's
@@gardenguns I'm very fortunate to have 3 of Steve Pope's (RIP) reduced cylinder 80's...they are unbelievable good in both shot cycle and accuracy.
You should put a video up about those!
@@gardenguns unfortunately, I'm a watcher not a maker when it come to the world of video production ...
It's all down hill after you make that first video!
35 & 80 both have 30mm pistons, easiest way to keep the power down is the short stroke the piston.
I think that is what Neil did.
The 80 as well as the rws 54 aren't that happy being restricted . Run lovely at 18 - 20 ft lbs
You will regret trading it in!!!!
I nearly always do! Unfortunately it is the only way I can afford the TX200.
