Forbes 2 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hello everyone I currently own a BSA lightning but I'm thinking of upgrading to a Weihrauch hw100, but is it worth the money? Cheers...Forbes 1 Quote Link to post

risingfriend 1,042 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 No brainer mate if it fits you and you can afford one then its the best money you could spend on a pcp 1 Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 If you want to own THE best pre-charge ever built, then get yourself a HW100, engineering and build quality others can only dream about, some may disagree, but what do they know 3 Quote Link to post
gurtwurz 792 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well worth the money! If it fits you then it's pretty much the best pcp out there, devastatingly accurate and very user friendly rifles. 1 Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 As above, go for it. To be fair though, a pointy stick is better than a Lightning. 5 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 They are. Gamo make them now and stick a BSA badge on them. As above, go for it. To be fair though, a pointy stick is better than a Lightning. ha ha really are they that bad? 1 Quote Link to post
jandcguns 65 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 a hw100 or an r-10 nar its up to you what you go for and the hw100 would be well worth (it i just prefer the r-10 ) Quote Link to post

I know that they have their advocates, Frank but I'm really not one of them. They're one of those guns that many folks started off with when they come into shooting so lots of folks have jolly happy memories of shooting their first whatever with one which is fair enough but they're shite and always have been. The triggers crap, the build's rubbish, the design is deeply flawed, they're a pig to work on for such a simple springer and even after they stopped building the shonkers in the UK, they're still trying to keep the name BSA (British Small Arms!!!!) while building the dogs in Spain. Rant over 1 Quote Link to post
