Hw 100's " why so cheap "

[zini 1,939]

I wont be measuring my di-k as its only a small one but i think the Weihrauch brand is just as able as any brand to have problems.

 

Nothing is perfect and problems will surface from time to time on any brand.

 

I know of lads who have problems with £1200 rifles.

 

I also know 1 who sold a HW100 for another brand of rifle costing £1200 (no guesses to that brand here then LOL) and he was feeling let down by it.

 

On a whole though I would say the HW100 is a very capable rifle and out of the 3 Ive owned, 2 x .177 and 1 x .22 they have all worked for me well and touch wood I haven't had any problems with them.

 

Si.

[Buster321c 1,010]

I fancied a Daystate Air Wolf MCT, until a mate sent his back with a problem with the electrics, think I'll stay on the darkside

Just picked one up today £650 really good condition had a shoot 14 shots with in 2inch !!!! Well pleased

 

At what range ???

20 to 25 yards !!!

 

 

hi buddy

I would try a less windy day or a pellet change

 

2inch group at that yards is pretty much not good,even for a novice!

sorry if you dont agree? but just telling you my honest opinion

 

what pellets was you using? hollow points?

 

 

regards

Sorry mate only had a quick go yesterday ! But if it makes you feel better just put 28 pellets in to a target about a 50 p radius at 35 yards !!!

at least this is an honest statement he could easily bull shitted an said he was putting pellet on pellet at 45 yards so fair play for your honesty.

im another AA LOVER,best rifles ever made

 

No they're not.They are excellent from a reliability aspect, very accurate too, unless you knock the barrel and set it askew in the stupid barrel band. REALLY GOOD rifles don't need a barrel band becaue they use a proper diameter barrel and a secure breech mounting for it that doesn't require support at the muzzle end. In all other aspects they are fine, but knock you barrel and it goes askew you then have to slacken off the barrel band, let the barrel go back to position (even 0.1mm will have your zero off - that means a slight knock against a tree as you duck through the woods) then rezero before you can continue shooting. Mind you don't knock it and all will be well - check the grub screws often though, just to check they haven't worked loose. I wouldn't loctite them, in case of you knock it!

 

Free floating barrel is the way to go, like BSA, Rapid, Daystate......etc.

 

..or the mk1 AA s200!

[paulus 26]

had loads of different ones over the years from the old pnumatic side lever ones that weighed a tonn to the aa shamal up to an r10 but always end up going back to the mk1 rapid, to me they just carnt be beaten for quality and reliability ive got an fac .20cal one now cracking gun just a shame it doesnt get used more often.

What recipe have you done and what performance are you getting out of yours? The original 12/20 used a specially commissioned barrel....mine is 1987 vintage and still driving tacks in!

all guns go wrong every know and then even the best now ones going to admite that there gun is rubbish hw are great guns

[shepp 2,285]

I have an HW100 but would love to give a Rapid a try out, if I see a MFR at a good price I may buy it and decide which one I like best and sell the other.

As good as the HW100 is I find it a bit sterile to use, I hope maybe a rapid would be a bit more fun to shoot.

Rapids to me are like the Landrover of the PCP world.
