pianoman 3,587 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've got a near mint condition Weihrauch HW80K .22 carbine spring rifle that's just had a full service by one of my expert friends here and it will hit hard and sure what you point it at, with H&N Field & Target Trophy and it'll last you your lifetime. It has just four tiny, very small pin-sized dents on the stock which you wouldn't immediately notice unless I pointed them out to you. It's set up with a Simmons Pro Air 6-18x40 scope. It has taken rabbits, woodpidgeon and rats and it deserves to be used. With a number of other rifles I regularly shoot with, I really haven't used it as often as I should. So, if your budget meets with £280 for a quality rifle/scope rig that would set you back a good £230 more, PM me, pop up and have a good shoot with it and see what you think. No pics at the moment as I'm only just thinking of selling it. But if I wanted a rifle I can just grab and get out to shoot some sport with, this is just what I'd be looking for. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Go for Pianoman's rifle, stretch your budget! Be worth it! He is a law unto us all on the care and maintenance of spring powered rifles, as well as being an encyclopedia on shooting techniques! Anything from him will be better than anything new, all the problems will have been sorted out long ago and it will be in excptional condition. See and I did not even mention Hatsan once!
