secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 What did you have? If it was an HW80 or 77 you can still buy them Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 How long a distance do you have in mind dia dogs? Springer will do it. PCP will do it. Question is, can YOU do it if you haven't shot with one in a long while? I have a Weihrauch HW80 FAC .22. A sub 12 ft/lb Weihrauch HW77 .22 and an HW97K .177 and all three will nail a rabbit through the head at 50-metres range. And way beyond that, if needs be. Best three spring rifles I have ever owned and will wipe the floor with any sub 12 ft/lb PCP out there. Or, there are Air Arms TX200, TX200HC or the beautiful Prosport underlever spring rifles. Incredible accuracy from these as well. Especially in .177. Pianoman 1 Quote Link to post
Nicepix 5,650 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 If price is not a consideration then the HW100 and an air bottle would be my recommendation. 7 Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) If price is not a consideration then the HW100 and an air bottle would be my recommendation.I'll second that. I wouldn't be without my HW100. Also, as Pianoman says, TX200hc is very good. Edited June 14, 2016 by Jonjon79 Quote Link to post
thedogman199 51 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 My r10 is fantastic mate I really can't recommend them enough Quote Link to post
The one 8,477 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I always think it's the finger behind the trigger that dates the range ? , depending on the distance some folk would need a rim fire 4 Quote Link to post

Rez 4,961 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Why just get one if price is unimportant? Id treat a RFD like a pick and mix. 3 Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 HW100KT, it's the only gun I've owned from new that I have never thought about chopping in for another, which must say something about the rifle. Quote Link to post
