Air Arms Or Weirhrauch??

[Andy_c 210]

After a weekend out with a mate the stage 2 97kt has made me love it even more !!!

Hw every time mate beats others hands down built to last for a very long time good luck in what ever you choose

Seem to be able to "bond" better with a AA TX200MKIII. This is unique to me. A Beeman(Weihrauch) 97BL is made for use on the Russian front. Tuning a Weihrauch turns it into an unbelievably good pellet pusher. Better than the Air Arms springer. Weihrauch is the last of the old-school pellet gun makers. Everything is sourced out of the factory by craft permanent employees.

Warning: Either a new Air Arms or Weihrauch can be a disappointment out of the box. The upsurge in demand is thinning out the QC.

Peace, hope this helps,

Hello All,

 

I am going to ring Sandwell Field Sports on Monday and order the HW 97 Stainless/Synthetic Stock .177 with a stage 1 tune.

 

Will keep you all posted on progress

 

Thanks

Hello All,

 

Having shot .22 in both of my current air rifles, HW100 & Falcon FN19, what is the trajectory like on .177 calibre?

 

What will be the best distance to zero the HW 97 .177 (with a stage 1 tune) at?

 

Thanks

I presume it will be a much flatter trajectory than the .22 calibre?

No offence intended But that seems a poorly asked question?.

Good point, well presented!! is the .177 a flatter trajectory than the .22 and to what extent?

[GSkye 94]

Personally I'd go for a .22, I think they're a good caliber for rabbits.

From experience, I've taken pigeons and a squirrel or two down with one shot, dead instantly.

 

I've never tried them but I've heard .177 can go in and out of animals before it kills them/bleed out.

Obviously down to pellets too

My uptake on it is .177 is a flatter faster pellet ?. where as the .22 has more stopping power ?. but its down to a personal preference

Its a hard one iv owned all three all top class rifles witch ever one you will end up with you will still have one of the best out there or if you can afford to buy ALL THREE atvbmac :thumbs:

It's ment for Hawke's kit but the software's easily doable with other folk's gear and the relative numbers will give you a good idea as to what's what.
