New in the neighborhood!

Hi!

First let me say that you have a great forum here with very good info!

My name is Filipe and I’m from Portugal, Europe.

Now, about guns, I own a very special HW97K, an HW40 and a Gamo PT80.
The HW40 is good for plinking and is some modifications, as well as the PT80 (nice piece of crap!).

This is my baby:

Fully tuned HW97K .177 chromed with Venom kit and some genious modifications from a friend of mine that completely killed the recoil and twang (if you want some info I can write a very big detailed post sometime).
It had a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24×40, that I regret every day for selling it.
Now equipped with a BSA 3-12×50.
I had an “electronic tsunami” in my personal computer 😆 and lost every photo I had, but I can assure you that using this gun you can be all day shooting a target through a 1/4″ hole. By the way is 12fpe, my FT rig.

But just like everything good comes to an end I got tired of FT and springs and started saving money for my first PCP.

Next week I’ll get my used AA S410 .22 Xtra FAC 😆 now that’s talkin!
It belongs to my friend that tuned my HW.

Here’s a pic of it:

It had a trigger job, vinyl coating in the bottle and an aluminum end cap.

Since I can’t have any stock gun, I’m already makin the contacts do start mod’in it. In first place if I can get a hold of it, a LW 28″ .22 16mmOD choked barrel (tryin to get Lothar Walther to make me one since they do special requests), if not I’ll get a 24″ and a nice sound moderator (threaded). Already working on a future BR/Varmint walnut stock. Versa-pod bipod ready to attach. And thinking in one of those chinese 10-40×60. Power is the last issue in my list (but obviously no excluded!).

I can´t talk with my friend about the new barrel, if knew I’m going to “ruin” is baby he would grab it and shoot me 😆

So I wanted to know your opinion about the swap to a new barrel, either the 28″ or 24″. Can I expect better accuracy? More power I’ll certainly gain.

Since I don’t want to bother you more this I’ll post a video, maybe some guys have seen others don’t.

Good shooting!
