Beeman HW97K Air Rifle Stainless Steel

Very high quality, in appearance, in construction, in the cocking, firing and accuracy!! Feels great in your hands and the trigger is smoooooooth!! Sharp looking... an absolute blast to shoot!!

Nothing... I think it is the best springer on the market! High end, great build, accurate, accurate, accurate!!!

Paired with a Bushnell Trophy scope, JBS Diablo EXACT pellets and you have a hair splitter!! Many thanks to Pyramyd Air for their EXCEPTIONAL customer service!!! This was a recommendation and a great one!! BTW, this thing is spot on accurate...

Accurate, rust free, accurate, powerful enough, tanklike construction. I shot a quarter from 15 meters. It bent it in amazing fashion. This thing is powerful.

Sling attachment points, lighter (alloy tube cocking lever?)

I don't think you'll be disappointed. Try different pellets. The right pellets make this a one-hole shooter.

consistently accurate. Not as hold sensitive as some other lever cock guns, quite forgiving

Be mindful of scope length with regard to covering the breech opening. Can make it a bit awkward to load pellet.This gun as with many lever guns is pretty heavy, which is ok if you are shooting from a brace or rest, but pretty heavy for offhand shooting. wish you would offer a front sling tube adapter, as a sling makes it a better hunter.

Overall I love the gun and would recommend it, and I do enjoy shooting it. but it is a bit pricy.

This gun is excellent. Very easy to shoot, and it likes many brands of pellets. Quality and accuracy are very very good. Worth the money if you want a great shooter. This is my first spring gun and I found it very easy to shoot. Just relax your grip and do everything the same on the next shot.

The weight with out losing quality.

This is a very well built gun. You will be happy with your purchase.

I just recieved my new .20 HW97 Synthetic Stock (Special Ordered) Kudos to Stacy G. at Pyramyd for making this happen...she is the best!!!! Now for the gun..this gun is as advertised....after un-boxing it I wiped her down & admired how beautiful this gun really is.....HW quality is second to none .....I mounted a 6-18 x40 Bushnell Trophy & I had my new baby zeroed with five shots at 30 yards using JSB Exact Diablos..i then put five pellets in the same hole at the same 30 yards (this is the only pellet I tried so far)...This gun is definitely a keeper!!!

As of now the only thing I would consider changing would maybe make the HW97 with the anti- bear trap for obvious safety precautions...this does not mean that this beautiful gun is not safe...it is safe...its a well made air gun!!

First & foremost what all airgunners should know is that Pyramyd airguns customer-service is second to none...they will go above & beyond to satisfy the needs of their customers!! I have owned most of the higher end spring guns as well as gas rammed (Theoben)...the HW 97 sits up at the top with the most accurate including the TX200 which I've owned.. that is why i am able to make this accurate appraisal!!!!

Unbelievably accurate. One hole gun at 10 yards. Very good adjustible trigger. Easy to control and shoot. Shoulders nicely. Good balance. Measures up to the HW reputation.

Nothing

Heavy rifle to carry arround the woods.

Everything, the rifle feels solid, very smooth cocking cycle, incredible accuracy.

nothing, the rifle is heavy but i'm getting used to it

there is only one spring rifle capable of achieving the same or even better accuracy than the Air Arms tx200 and the HW97K is the one.

Accuracy is superb, cocking is easy, no harsh recoil and surprisingly quiet .

In a perfect world it would have a little more power, not be as heavy and cost less.

I'm amazed by the accuracy, especially with such a short barrel. Was a little twangy as most springers are stock. After I Tuned with a vortek kit it made a great gun just about perfect. Smooth shot cycle, not hold sensitive, quiet (easy backyard quiet) and a little more power. I returned an AA510 in favor of this and i don't regret it one bit. This is about half the price and for me personally it consistently out shot the AA510. Only dislike would be the weight but by no means a deal breaker. This is a keeper.

Its a well built solid as a tank quality gun

Better scope mount as the dovetails just seem so thin,,but then again the steel is strong and dovetails have been around forever and anything that would knock them loose would damage the scope im sure..

There is nothing to add that no one has heard ...the reputation is well deserved so i wont talk about accuracy...the fit,finish and feeling of solid built gun is amazing..yes its heavy but it is solid...i have the .22 and it is a great gun..the stock butt is not solid so i stuffed an old wool sock inside to give it a solid sound and kill any micro vibrations...i used a small band of rubber to kill off a micro vibration from the underlever release button...i run a 2 piece scope mount but bought an extra set of mounts so i run 4 individual mounts so its rock solid...unfortunately i did not have a chronowhen i bought it and never checked velocity..a few days ago i replaced the stock spring with a Vortex pg2 kit and seal...it is true theses guns are simple design and easy to work on..i have zero experiance working on airguns and I easily instilled the new spring kit following youtube videos....i jist chronod it today, though i didnt do accuracy test as i have it set up pretty good with 14.3 CP ultra magnums...well i chronod some pellets today with the Vortex kit....cp ultramag=705 avg......cp pointed=703......gamo rocket bb head=705 ....but 11.9gr RWS hobbies were little rockets with 770fps.....take into account i didnt do accuracy test and gun is sighted for cp ultras which work great for the price but for my 30yrd and closer hunting the rws wud be good for birds or rats...i have gotten 2 squirrell already with the cp ultra mags and it put the smack down..

the gun really feels good in your hand and is right on accurate as the shooter is. after zeroing it in i could hit quarter size spots with it at 30 yards. thats good for me im 66 and a little shakey!

i dont know if you could make this gun with the nitro cylinder action or not but would be nice to get away from the spring sound when shooting it. the safety is not in a good location for me . i would prefer it more friendly for a right handed shooter.

gun is a little heavy. all said i really enjoy my gun!!
