pest hunter 151 15 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 wrong section!! oh sorry what section should i have posted it in Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 This one Help and advice go in this section, general waffle goes in the banter and the spring and precharged is reserved for the write ups and pix of our hunting exploits and gorefests You put it originally in the main airgun, mod moved it for you Phantom Quote Link to post
Edgar 1 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Think of the HW 57, I have one, lightweight, fixed barrel accuracy. Mine was 175 pounds new. Wont go wrong with any HW. Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Have you not got anyhting to charge your PCP up with then mate? Or did you not mean PCP? Seems a bit strange to get rid of a perfectly good PCP just cos it has no air left. If that is what you want to do though the you could do alot worse than an HW99. Tried a mates out once and seemed pretty good though I didn't use it much. As many will tell you, most of Weihrauch's guns a pretty good so you shouldn't have a problem with them if that is what you want. What gun have you got at the moment mate? All the best Freddy Quote Link to post

All the best Freddy no mate i charge it at gun shop and im not looking at getting rid of it but would like a springer for when it needs charging and i dont have time to go to the gun shop and the springer will also help if i just want a change in gun.And its a bsa ultra Edited March 6, 2010 by pest hunter 151 Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Sweet got ya now, didn't think of that. Well then yeh as I said you could do worse than a HW99. Or if you want to stick with BSA the lightning is always s good bet. That would just sneek in under your budget as is about the same price as the HW99. Freddy Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Hi, mate. The 99's the better gun out of those two by far. Build, trigger, the way it shoots, the lot! One question though... Why shell out for another gun? If you've got used to a PCP, you may find a springer not so easy to shoot if you're not used to them. Why not just buy a pump for your BSA? Cheers. Edited March 6, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have owned a 99 before pal and they are cracking springers. I haven't come across a crap weihrauch. A 99 will take 40 to 45 metre quarry no problems with the correct technique and pellet. Si. Quote Link to post
