HW-97K
Just got one from Krale Shietsport in the Netherlands. Only other HW I have owned was a Beeman-badged R-9. This rifle is just perfection. Amazing thing is I paid $391 US for it shipped to Oregon. Ordered it Monday, it arrived from the Netherlands on Thursday, UPS. These sell for more than $600 from U.S vendors.
My scope will arrive next week so I can only shoot it at short range just to get a feel for the trigger and firing behavior, but I think it is going to make a fine all-around hunting/plinking/field target rifle. The Germans know how to build airguns!

What a great toy! I've got a HW30S, an RWS 52 and an RWS 460. The 30S gets most of the work because it's so neighbor friendly.

I have HW97k FAC version for about 9 years or so. I like it very much. I bought it as a combo with 3-9x40 scope.

It likes JSB Exact pellets. What I can recommend is "tuning kit", exactly that one:

When installed tuning kit, I also removed a part blocking safety when cocking lever is down. Now I can decock a rifle easy, so you can have pellet inside and uncocked.

Man, with JSB heavies, this rifle just wants to pile them in one hole. What a nice trigger.

As good as the price is in the HW97, the opening page of their site has Browning Buckmark magazine for only 52 bucks and change.
