Do I Px Or Not Hmm

[Lancashire Hunter 22]

Hi all just had my crosman tr77 tuned by welsh willy shoots lovely really pleasant to shoot.

But i have been offerd a px for a hw one of the earlier ones bit tatty and rough in .22 and 40 quid to the other guy. Now question is do i take the trade i know that i get brilliant build and reliability with the weihrauch but as i said mine has been welsh willy tuned and is something rather speciel whats your opinions?

Thanks

The HW is a well engineered gun but against it is the weight, fully scoped up it is like a lead weight to tote around if it was that good I would of thought the present owner would keep it. Makes you wonder why the present owner wants rid of it?.

He said its to heavy for him and he has a bad back as it is. Or might just pay 130 asking price and keep both

If you got a nice gun shooting sweet then dont get rid! If the hw80 is only 13p quid just buy it and have both!

Buy it and restore it mate, it's very rare to find an that can't be made to shoot well with a bit of TLC.

Is 130 quid not a bit expensive for an older in that condition or is it about right? I've got a 77 that's a bit rough but just needs blueing, I didn't think it was worth that much or are the 80s better?

I wouldn't say the 80's better than a 77, although it's a faster handling rifle. Although, since getting my 77, I haven't touched the . I've seen 80's with restraightened barrels go for 150, and fully tuned tidy ones for 250-300. But the same with 77's, they both seem to hold the same sort of value second hand. As usual, it's a case of trying before buying and seeing what you think, but you don't hear of a completely un retrievable hw very often, although I'm sure they're probably out there.
