Advice on Weihrauch HW90

[verminshooter29]

mate that would nt be a dealer from d patrick would it?i had a 90 all be it non fac nice well built gun i think you could get it cheaper if you priced around the dealer in cookstown has one for 300 as far as i know and i thought it was dear.go the extra hog and go pcp you will not regret it much easier to shoot .

I have a TB90 (Theoben took some early HW90's and made them a bit nicer) and it's certainly FAC, been a while since i clocked it but it was doing 22ft'lbs with accupell last time i checked.
Quite nice to shoot and very accurate.

What dealer is it ?

I wouldn't be too concerned that it's not coming from Hull Cartridge, quite a lot of our guns come via "Frankonia" in Germany, if you buy from a good dealer here you should have no problems.

Nick, yes I have fired a 25ftlb HW90. My thumb would tap the end of my nose after each shot - an uncomfortable tap it was too.
I didn't say that it was an ideal rifle at that power, but it is capable of achieving 25ftlb.
I agree that the Eliminator would be a better choice.

I think you misunderstood my point, which was that: that the shop owner wasn't lying, but that the HW90 is not ideal at 25ftlb.

Fine. I'm staggered that the rifle didn't fall apart at 25 ft lb. As a matter of interest did you chrono it?

[Fluffybuck]

Yes, although it was a few years ago....if I remember right, it chrono'd around 25ftlb with JSB 5.52.

I chronoed my dieseling PE AT 40FTLB. Melted the piston seal pdq.

Just befor you tested this gun had you consumed a large amount of alcohol or taken any illegal substances.

Just to add a little to the above- I 'knew' of a hw90 full length that made around 24 ftlb was very consistant but did eat trigger parts on a regular basis.
However at 18 it was a much nicer gun if a tad non lightweight scoped and silenced.

Just clocked mine today and it's doing 650fps with Bis mags, bit heavy but all i had to hand.
This is an early TB90 and all original.

That's pretty fair for bisley type pellets, 20ftlb. I would expect a bit more with a 14/15gn pellet and smoother shooting.
