Sacked The Hw110

[just-A-snap 1,269]

villaman is correct about waiting to see how good or not the HW110 is, to my mind it will be a rifle that will give any other a run for its money, it can again to my mind be nothing less. you do not take over a brand name just to through it all away at the first opportunity. My gripe is with hype and constant misleading of availability dates. mac's grandson got a good deal with the HW100, the HW110 would have served just as well, who knows?

 

The brand name being the HW100 family of rifles

Another reason not to buy the 110, google Browning Duratouch problems, a similar paint finish on Brownings is coming off the stocks after a few years. That'll be nice ,well out of warranty and ooops, there goes the lovely finish you were suckered into buying. Can see a little goldmine approaching for CS of Sheffield mind.

 

Also some people are allergic to latex and if that is used in the paint, it means they cannot hold the gun!

Christ , and some people are allergic to lead , varnish , gun spray , wax , cotton , plastic , and all the other stuff to do with airguns .

Why always look for fault in things before they have even come out

 

Because people should be made aware of that before they go and fork out £600-£650 on a gun they might not be able to hold due to an allergic reaction! Many Brownings had to go back because of this! Then the problem that seems to occur when the Soft Touch paint is exposed to even ordinary gun oil, it turns into a sticky morass, it does that with age too, reaction to sweat, does not happen with boring old wooden stocks so much!

When you are paying only £50 to £100 less than the flagship HW100 model, wouldn't you save up and get a gun whose stock is not in a bloody condom and whose action is made out of metal not plastic, along with magazines which hold more pellets?

 

HW have got this one wrong!

 

So how do you know they got it wrong ,just because you might not like , you can't speak for every body and its about £150 cheaper and that saving can buy a very good scope for it .

Lets what for it to come out first and get some proper reviews on it ,before slagging it off

It is a mere £50 to £100 cheaper!

[villaman 9,983]

£ 585 for a HW110 from my RFD and about £750 for HW100 so more than £150 saving £165

 

Or from these http://www.airgunbuyer.com/Showproducts.asp?cat=Air%20Rifles&SubCat=Weihrauch%20Air%20Rifles so more than £150 saving again

Seems I got a bargain with my 100 despite the stock! But two shops within 50 miles of me are doing the 100 at £690, there will be others at that price or who offer to match a nationally advertised price. So once again a mere £105 saving.

 

I do hope the 110 works, is put in a decent stock (ie a real wood one or a proper high quality synthetic and not some damned weird hybrid of the two. Hell it deserves to work but it needs to be priced similarly to the difference between the Scorpion and the R10 in the BSA range ie http://www.airgunbuyer.com/Showproducts.asp?cat=Air%20Rifles&SubCat=BSA%20Air%20Rifles about £180 cheaper or the 110 will be passed over for the 100!

The stock is covered in the stuff they put on most cordless drill / screwdrivers . I use mine hours at a time day in day out ,year in year out and never had a problem with the coating coming of

let alone being poisoned by it

Looks like you have more money than most ,if you are not worried a mere £105 !!!

No it is not. The stuff that Weihrauch are using is a rubberised paint, the stuff used on drills and screwdrivers is an actual rubber pad that is glued onto the drill or screwdriver or a casing that is coated in it, not paint. Weihrauch are basically using a black rubber paint to keep costs down as it will not require such high finishing as oil or varnish. Coupled to that the polymer (plastic) action and the savings that are made are very high!

 

Google Browning Soft Touch Problems to see how successful a similar stock coating is!

Its not a HW is it ,it's like saying Ford have a problem with the fabric on seats and toyota don,t ,same stuff !!

Like said in another post ,let's wait and see real reviews about the 110 before slagging it off , easy thing in the world to do is rubbish something before it comes out

That is all i am saying on the matter until i have seen it in the flesh and read reviews from real people and not mags
