I've had mine for a number of years now and would never sell it. I actually picked it up second hand (mint, scoped good quality bag and sling) at a price I could not resist, and only bought it at the time with the intention of using it as a part ex for a .308, but after using it loved it too much.

I have owned all of the HW series over the years and found the HW90K my favourite - for accuracy on par with the TX200 I had.

The only downside though if your going to be using it for hunting, as you likely know they are a bit on the heavy side. You will need a sling if yomping around land.

The gas piston gives a totally different feel when shooting it very like using a firearm, but you quickly get used to it.

Mine has never given me any problems or concerns.

I once owned the Theoben HW90K. The piston leaked and needed topping up every now and then. I'd never have another one. Springs don't leak.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?
