These are absolutely first rate little rifles. Probably good for 4 mags (of 14 shots) per 200 bar fill. First rate build quality, with a lovely bit of wood in the stock. Dealer was very helpful and swapped the stock I wanted with another rifle in .22. Trigger was spot on out of the box. Topped with a Leupold EFR 6.5-20 x40.
Very, very quiet. The thumbhole both reduces weight and helps hold and trigger control (for me). Charging with the quickfill is very fast and easy.

Will be doing some long range tests for group size. It will be interesting to compare the results with my Daystate FTR.

I'm hoping to get one in the next few days! :D

How much did it set you back?

Was going to buy one privately, drove 60 miles after repeatedly confirming with the seller that it was a KT, only to find it was a 100T!. Wonderful waste of a Friday afternoon!!

I like the HW100 in nearly every respect except the terrible ambi stock and with serious reservations on the shot count-poor for such a recent design of rifle- and the cost of QF cylinders. The sporter stock is fine-pretty good actually- but only available in right hand. The ambi plank is now made of some quite tasty wood but the shape is still awful. Indescribably bad for me at least. I have owned several of these rifles but had to sell them all because I just couldn't get on with the ambi stock. The only stock that worked for me was a Ginb but then the rifle became far too heavy for general use. A great pity because it should be better after the length of time it took Weihrauch to market a precharge.

Yep you are right 4 mags in .177 no problem in k version and 6 mags in .177 with full rifle, i am lucky enough to have one of each and think they are wonderful. They will both do a lot more shots than above but it does start to drop off a bit
