Which One? Hw80/85/95/98??

[Daz39 962]

I'm aiming to pick up a springer to go with my HW100 and honestly can't decided which route to go. This is all for .177

 

Rifle Length Weight Power Rough cost

 

HW80 115cm 4.0kg 295 m/s £380

HW85 117cm 3.5kg 290 m/s £280

HW95 108cm 3.4kg 290 m/s £320 (inc silencer)

HW98 110cm 3.8kg 290 m/s £380

 

HW97 103cm 4.3kg 290 m/s £360

 

I can't see much difference between them on paper. I wanted the Weihrauch silencer on, and I'd rather go for a ligher rifle (hence I'm shying away from he 97).

 

I know you guys are never short of an opinion....ideally someone who has had more than one of these rifles, point me in the right direction would ya? And are the prices ABOUT right for new?

 

Cheers

The 95s work well in .177, the other half has had a couple of them.

that is the one I am leaning towards to be honest....

95 realy good rifles and not to heavy

hi Daz

i own the HW 97 & HW 95 & SFS Chieftain

 

The HW 97 is a under lever & deadly accurate,and probably not for noodle arm owners. & definitely not hold sensitive

 

The HW 95 is a break barrel, a lot lighter and prone to hold sensitive,but still deadly accurate once mastered

 

(don't own one but have shot one)

The HW is a break barrel, not as heavy as the 97,but as deadly.& definitely not hold sensitive

 

(don't own one but have shot one)

The HW 98 is a break barrel,not as heavy as the 97,but personally the most accurate i have shot,apart from the "Chieftain"

the first time i picked the HW 98 up was when Si had one,and i had a go on my 8mm bell target in the garden,i hit it every time,i found it real easy to shoot.the fit was good and it was deadly accurate,and definitely not hod sensitive

 

 

if i was to choose out of your choice i would take the HW 98,thee most accurate spring rifle i have shot.

 

UNTIL i got my hands on the SFS Chieftain,(Awesomely accurate,if that's a word ?)

HW97 for me mate if you shooting an hw100 T then what you worried about LOL second hw98 it would pay to try before you buy as i had the 98 as well as the 97 but prefer the 97 for fit even though the 98 has an adjustable stock. you wont go far wrong with any on your list though

97k heavy,but deadly

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

97! my fave springer ever

 

or 98 or

 

95 was too light for me

[Daz39 962]

I didn't want to go down the 97 route (had one and upgraded it to the 100) - but now it's all I can think about haha.

 

Thanks for the input lads...

if that had been 0.177 flavour I'd have snapped your hand off!!

 

dont want to mix flavours, and as I have the 100 in .177 I want to go down that road, but thanks!
