New Air Rifle Perhaps?

[TGEvans 4]

Hi all, Need to get myself a new Air Rifle I think. Bit unsure as what to get. I Love Air Arms TX200's but want something a bit simpler and lighter maybe, liking the idea of a good break barrel. I remember shooting a HW80 years back and though that was great. So, any info on the HW would be great and also any other reccomendations! Tim.

Nothing wrong with an , they're one of the best break-barrels available, but if you find the weight of a TX an issue it may not be ideal for you. They are a bit of a lump.

 

As above, have a look at the 95

I slightly differ with my esteemed dear friend Andy here.

 

HW80 is THE best break-barrel spring rifle in the world. HW80K carbine is a really lovely shooting and handling rifle if you don't like the full length version (I have both in .22)

 

HW95 makes a brilliant second to the HW80. It's a little lighter and more compact and has all the punch and accuracy of the HW80.

 

An HW95 in a Custom Stock CS700 walnut sporting stock and a Sandwell Field Sports tune would make an incredible De Lux spring rifle for hide and barn shooting.

 

That one's certainly on the "Dream-guns-to-get" list for me!

 

All the best with your choices.

I'll have your two 80s back to you the next time we meet up, Simon, all set up and shooting lovely I've also done a little work on my 90 since I was last over. Try them back to back then say which rifle shoots the best

 

See you next week, mate

[pianoman 3,587]

Aww Andy Yes yes YES!!

 

Cheers you genius of smithing you!

 

We should put pictures up of my full length HW80...with it's Venomtech long slimline silencer. Looks like a Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong piece of rifle!

 

But what an accurate bloody beauty she really is!

 

11 years old and still as good as the day she was made!

 

Bit unfair though, asking me to compare two beautiful Weihrauchs back to back; you know I love your HW90!

 

Can't wait! Bring them on then Andy and we'll a good day out together next week!

 

Cheers mate.
