robbsy Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Looking for a weihrauch for hunting rabbits, what model would you recommend as best for the job. Would a underlever or break barrel be best. Some people have suggested HW57 or a HW95. Thanks Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfect Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 can only tell you what i know and i love my hw80k lots of power, very accurate, nice wieght, break barrel, very quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I second that recommendation, I have a hw80 it is powerful and accurate and has been a very reliable rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scout Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi I have the hw97k , lovely rifle , powerful and accurate, deadly to 40 yards for rabbits. but bloody heavy you know when you've been carrying it for a couple of hours. cheers scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 HW100 all the way Whether you choose the sport or thumbhole, it's whisper quite and deadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveieP Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) if you like the looks of the 80, have a look at the 95K as well. The 95 is a bit lighter, still full power & generally a tad cheaper than the 80 (if cost is an object) Edited February 28, 2008 by SteveieP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magdie Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I am in full agreement with vagabond, hw100 for hunting or target a superb rifle accurate and deadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snipper Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 i have a hw77k and hw97k and can recommend both but the hw97 has the built in silencer and with a bit of tuning (which is easy) you can get it virtualy recoil free ...plus i think the extra wieght helps absorb the recoil snipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadShotHoncho Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 HW80, I love mine through tin lined up in front of another and straight thru both using pointed You might want to get sling studs fitted if you are doing rough rooost shooting in large woods for hours, cos jesus they are ******** heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterS410 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 if you want a springer get the hw97K if you want a pcp get hw100....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeihrauchPower Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 First Weihrauch should be the 95k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacey Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Just picked up an immaculate HW80 in .177 with scope, bag and pellets for 200 quid and it's a fantastic bit of kit. Zeroed it in today and it is incredibly accurate and quiet for a springer. A mate of mine has the 97K and that too is a great piece of kit. So between the 2 it's a choice of wether you want break barrel or underlever both are fantastic. But my kit was 40 quid cheaper than my mates ha ha.
