Cloonsey Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Could anyone give me some advise on a good scope for a Weihrauch 80.I've had the rifle for about 10 years but it's never had a scope on it and i see that scopes have to be spring rated for use with this rifle. I'm prepared to spend about £200 on the scope. Any advise is appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamo Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Whatever scope you choose make sure its spring gun rated, especially if its FAC, its up to you what kind of magnification you choose £200 isnt going to limit you, Hawke have some nice scopes in the 100-200 range, but I would advise you to get a dampa mount or 1 piece as spring gun can hammer scopes.

Matt.Tsk Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 A simmons wtc 3.5x10-50 is the best scope under 200 squid for ur HW80. if u have owned the gun that long i would get it checked over by a gunsmth just incase good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloonsey Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Got my scope today and a Promount 1 piece dampa mount. Any tips on sighting it in m8. Where did you get the Gas Ram from for £50,The one on the theoben site is £110. There are some for £60 but the HW80 is not listed. Also have you got a silencer fitted? I've just got a theoben evo silencer for mine but when you take the post site off the gun the grove's are a bit proud of the barrel so the silencer won't fit. Is it better to file down the groves or file a bit off the silencer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Tsk Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I got my Gas ram of a mate who is a gunsmith hence the price. I have got a silancer but its a webley silancer. my guns a carbine so i didnt have open sights to worry about but i would take a bit off the barrel. the only probs with that is it might start rusting but it should be ok if u keep it clean. as for sighting mine is set at 30 yards just make sure there is no wind i rested my gun on a pillow and shot lying down its a lot better. get a normal a4 peice of paper and put a dot in the middle job done. good luck m8 keep me posted.

Pigeon_decoyer Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I use a apollo gold star 4-12x40 for my HW95 and it does the job perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloonsey Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Silencer fitted. Filed the bear minimum off the barrel so hopefully i should be able to fit the open sites back on. Going to go down to our local HFT club to sight the scope in as there is not enough room to do it at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
