j1985 1,984 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I was looking at getting a BSA super10 pretty much just because they were a bit chraper than most I saw and for my first rifle I didn't really wanna spend the earth when I might pack it in after a short while. I asked a mates opinion and he said they're sound and reliable but he has a HW100 Carbine or sale and he'd let me have it a bit cheaper. I'm totally green when it comes to air rifles so any advce on what ones best would be grateful. Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It will be used for picking off rabbits that stay close to cover that it's not worth me slipping my lurcher on and probably some daytime pigeons for some extra ferret food. Quote Link to post
jmj121 30 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 HW100, I would say that Weihrauch are one of the best PCP air rifles made, German made and German build quality.. would 100% recommend a HW100, it wont let you down. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you have a chance of an HW100 at a cheaper price (you might want to tell us how much though, what mate says is cheap and what is cheap might be two different things) buy it, you can have it, own it and if you don't like it sell it on and make some cash. The Super 10 is just as reliable as the HW100 though, this may upset some dedicated HW fans, but it is true, how do I know? I own both, bought at around the same time last year, new...

villaman 9,983 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Both are good guns like mole said but for resale IMO the HW100k would be the better buy Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Both are good guns like mole said but for resale IMO the HW100k would be the better buy Agree, supertens are awesome I've owned one but would opt for the HW if I had the choice of the two now. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Go for the HW100, its a better looking gun altogether, because those 10's are ugly muthas Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Stealthy had better go to Specsavers, bran flakes, simply bran flakes.... Edited August 6, 2012 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Cheers lads, Is there much weight/size difference between the two ? Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Not really! Own both in Carbine format, both handle similarly as regards weight and balance... Quote Link to post

Richard Morgan 38 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Cheers lads, Is there much weight/size difference between the two ? get the hw 100k mate no offense meant to mole as that does look a cracking gun to be honest bsa are not in the same league for me ive owned a lightning,hornet and me da just put a superten in the shop i do like the look of the r10 but have heard mixed reviews if you can get hold of a hw 100 mk2 (lighter) i dont think it can really be bettered.
