bruno22rf Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 My money would go on the HW80-this gun was designed to run 18-19ft/lbs in bog standard trim so is totally unstressed at our puny limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSA-airgunner Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 80K carbine version had two and love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The HW 95 is a graet gun full power and reasonable weight the silencer it comes with is also one of the best on the market ,all spring guns take a while to bed in , but you dont need 12ft LBs for clean kills you need accuracy and the 95 as with all the HW range has plenty of that. The 80 is also a great gun but is much heavier and really only comes into its own when at FAC levels. I now use a 97kt which is very heavy but also very very accurate .

Tiger955i Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 HI Mate HW80 all the way. Got one and love it. Also the HW90 gas ram is worth a look as you can get a slim jim pump and connector hose to maintain the power within the legal limit. Be sure you have the use of a chronograph when you do this though. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewj Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 as peopel have said hw 80 great gun used to have one well built also there are a lot of vmatch upgrades you add to to make a even better gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrono'd my son's WH80 last night which is about 2 months old and it was reading around 11.6/11.8 lbs/ft (can't remember what his usual pellets are). He fired one type last night that went well over the 12lb/ft limit! :o BUT last week it couldn't reset a resettable target with my Daystate Lights at 20 yards! My HW97KT (chrono'd at about 10.8 lbs/ft, my son-in-laws TX200 at about 11.5 lbs/ft) had no problem with the same target. This is not aimed at the HW80 because it's a lovely gun, but just goes to show what a massive variable pellets alone can make to ANY gun. My HW97KT is still running in as it's only 1 month old, and I'm still experimenting with what's the best pellet for it. Just wanted to point out how careful you have to be when you're talking about power and legal limits Edited June 22, 2011 by spookytooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The HW80 IMO is by far the best break-barrel that Weihrauch ever made and the most popular!It is arguably one of the best Spring guns ever made!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
