Elite Trigger Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 What are your thoughts on this beast? im wanting somthing with open sights. recoil? weight? handling? are they loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Recoil= yes. It's a springer. Weight= heavy solid build. Handling= depends on your build and gun fit. Noise= With a silencer fitted to cut down on the crack they are good. All you get is the action noise. If you are not sure try one before you buy.

SNAKEBITE Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 It is a Weirauch so it will have the controlable recoil rather than a "twang". The weight of the gun means it is absorbed easier than a lighter gun. The quality of the gun means no vibration. It is of the same quality as a 97, just a different model. Any Wacker can be tuned to make a good gun a brilliant gun. First stop Venom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipper Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 ello... ive just bought one 2nd hand carbine and only used it a couple of times but its great little recoil and i like the weight of it nice and solid . before this i had i feinwerkbau 127 which seemed very twangy compared to the 77k ........ hope that makes sense as im not an airgun person ..more shottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 These are legendary, solid, chunky guns which are extremely accurate and respond well to tuning. The open sights are under-rated - most people take 'em off but I think a 77 would make a very good open sighted rifle. Not putting a scope on it would keep the weight down a bit. It would have lovely lines. Recoil was fine - very predictable, The gun was no noisier than any other springer and in many ways less noisy. The trigger is first class IMHO. I had one for a few years (.177 lovely bit of wood) and it was excellent. I wore out one mainspring with the number of shots I put through it, but nothing else went amiss. I'd have another. Doesn't the HW97 (updated version) come with a moderator to dampen the sound ? I'd still consider the 77 though as I don't know whether the HW97 comes with open sights. I'm a big fan.

That right the 97 comes with a mod and no open sights. cheers for all the replys, i think i will go for the 77 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
