Someone loves the 99 above the others ... what is it? ... light weight, unpretentious ... good value for money?

Some of you might like Weihrauchs. Which one is the bestest and why? Legend says that Herr Weihrauch loved the HW50 break barrel above all his other 'daughters' due to her sweetness and light.
I know I have missed off the HW25, the HW100 and the HW55 but there weren't enough slots for them all!
Also the ether-injector '35 cannon but that is a firearm ... and the pistoleers can do their own survey.
AND please say if you hate HWs but you must say why. I think people who like Webleys probably hate HWs more than people who like BSAs but thats just prejudice.
Also are there any models I forgot?
And what was the year the quality started to fall off and has it 'got back up there?' ooh er missus.

Yes there are..... but I will leave that.... up- to you to sort out....
All the "full power" Weihrauchs are pretty horrid straight out of the box but my Bowkett-tuned ones are the dog's danglies

Cant believe the hw90 isnt winning by miles, i would think most will vote for 95..a lot of younger shooters will not have shot the 80 or 77 ?
Has to be the 80 for me.
Ned..
HW95 is the only one I have but I wonder how good it would be 'raw' - mine has a custom stock and venom internals.
Regards, Jon.
My 95 was a great gun raw, made bsa and webley look real crappy. build quality is just so much better.
Not an easy decision.
The HW35 have been around for some fifty years and it still outshots most airgunners, but the 80 created the modern magnum airguns and should perhaps be a winner for that reason?
The 77 is also a legend, without that model there would not be any TX200, also a worthy winner.
However, I put my vote on the HW30S (aka Beeman R7), the very essens of airgunning in a small packet.
voted the 77
guess i'm one of the older buggers lol
Only shot the 95 and 77k,but handled the 97k.Childhood mate had a Venom tuned 77k and it was a real cracker but not as good as my TX200.
I am a Webley fan and always have been, but I also have Weihrauch's and BSA's in my collection.Originally posted by Hsing-ee I think people who like Webleys probably hate HWs more than people who like BSAs but thats just prejudice.

I don't hate any gun, but I certainly dislike some, and Weihrauch are not amongst them.
Favourite Weihrauch has to be HW35E followed by HW77.
Couldn't agree more.Originally posted by bedlam

I loved my 95 until I tried the TX200, I've never found any Weihrauch to be as good as the TX.
HW 77k
Cannot think of anything I don't like about it and have found it to be a sweet shooter and very accurate rifle right out of the box.
Would rather have the option of open sights to a silencer on a springer. Hence, my choice of 77k over 97k.

The HW77K of course .
