Elite Trigger Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 hiya mate, i havnt used the rifle before but i have heard very gd things.... i shoot a hw90k myself... right here you go mate hw80 & hw80k the one with the K means its the carbine version, ok in english its the shorter of the two, the hw80 is the standard lenghth rifle i prefer carbine rifles myself, i find them more pointable and easyier to work with, but thats me... you may think different... try the both out before you buy is the best advice here... cheap websites: try jsrramsbottoms.co.uk & uttings.com i think it is i have bought off these both companys in the past and had no probs. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will1992 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi mate iv got a hw80k and its a great rifle!!It is really powerful and very accurate i would recomend this rifle to anyone.Its a bit heavy but it is built like a brick ****house and you wont have any problems with it. Not quite sure what the k means think its just carbine no other differences Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 The HW80k is a superb gun. I had one in .177 years ago, and wish I'd never sold it. Great for rabbits! The K is for "Kurz", the German word for short. Hence the 80k is the carbine (short barrel) variant. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I still love shooting my HW80K, even though it is ancient. It's still lethally accurate and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Aye, Thanks All 4 all the Posts! Was so good that i ordered one, and you are all rite, as soon as you open it you can see where all the money has gone, quality. Now i know im new and im sure you will all take the **** out of me 4 asking this but here goes... I have won 4 air rifle comps and have fired 3 different makes of air rifles but this one has got me? I have read the manule over and over but i still cant cock it? At first i wasent doing it very hard as i didn't want to risk breaking it but then i have tried harder but no joy, Am i doing somthing wrong? Is it hard because its new or do i need to eat more witeabix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
