caplock Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Right bear with me Bought the other day a brand new HW95 in .177 as a combo from a well known shop. Got it home and put together, zeroed in and away we go. Hmm thinks I, this has got some poke, some of the windfall apples that were being shot were flying to bits rather than being nicely punctured. Picture sequence 1 from end of dining room table un zoomed 2 same view zoomed red dot on pine plank=30 yards, yellow dot =50 yards 3 pellets in 4 pellets out at 50 yards Pine board 15mm Anyone else got one of these to compare performance with?? Never had an air rifle perform like this before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kip270 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Best bet is to get it chronographed if you can, but i wouldn't take it to a shop :( pine is not the toughest of woods anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonrms Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 at about 10-15 yards.. mine would do the same... I had a logun solo... and it was fine... again it depends on the pellet used.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ratcatcher Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 thats nout m8, .177 will do that all day long the smaller pellet does penertrate alot more, ive shot a rabbit in the head at 53 yards, i was using daystate ft .177 and 97k, it went straight through out the other side, and mine does 11.2 ftlb over the chrono but you should chrono it anyway, btw, has yours got the new hw silencer on it ??

wickedandlazee Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Mu mate had the .22 straight out the box and it chronogrpahed at 14 ft/lb with accupells !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caplock Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thats what I'm thinking, had air rifles that would pass through pine boards at 20 yards but not at 50. Maybe this needs to settle down. Excess lubes maybe??, there is a faint smell of burnt oil after firing. I'll see how it is after a tin or two of pells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl h Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 it does sound a bit odd but remember hull chrono them with h+n or rws so if you then put something different through you could get a high or low reading best to chrono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie_fn12 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 weihrauchs have a tendancy to diesel when bought from new,this can cause excess power....also they have started to have a tendancy to NOT have any lube on the mainspring at all....if you know how to m8 strip it down take off any excess lube and lightly re-lube the spring this can help...let us know how you get on...oh and dont forget to chrono the ****** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caplock Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Cheers all I'll get it checked out, does seem to be very powerfull compared to some other well known brands I've owned in the past. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention they are 25+ yrs old and they both still hold their own when it comes to shooting groups. Great rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
