weihrach hw35

[lampingboy 231]

hi all i have a weihrach hw35 that ive had for a while , my dad bought it off a bloke who he met on site at work for a 100 quid i think .

and since i want a nice springer to practice with aswell as my s410 ,how are these guns ? its a weihrach so cant be that bad right ? haha .

The one problem my dad had with it ,is you would zero it in and then the dreaded scope creep would knock the scope miles off , the scope isnt anything fancy but itll be fine for what i need . how can i prevent this ? i will upload pics later on

thanks all

Don't you have the usual 3 arrestor holes on this rifle lampingboy? If you use decent Sportsmatch or Hawke mounts you will find a stud under the base of one of them. Fit this into the arrestor hole that gives you best eye-relief and that will stop creep-back of the scope. If you do not have arrestor holes on this particular HW35, you can now buy an arrestor block by Bisley for around £8 that clamps to your scoperails and your scopemount buffers up to it. That should eliminate your scope creep problems mate.

 

The Weihrauch HW35 is one of airgunning's classic sporting rifles. Superbly well-made, highly accurate and delightful to shoot with.
