"Very impressive for big games. Shoots accurately at about 35 yards. Very accurate and powerful, good for big games that is hunting rabbits,patridges,dogs and even porcupines. Only problem I found with the Weihrauch HW85 is that the screws have to be tighten every 40 shots"

That's a coincidence I have a secondhand one coming tomorrow as well.

I don't know much about the condition of the gun (I haven't seen it yet), except it's in .177" and has a Tyrolean walnut stock .

I'm hoping it's the earlier version with the raised scope rail, but i wont be too bothered if it's not as I'm having it in payment for an hours work.

The same bloke who I'm having the 85 off also has an Original 52 carbine in .177" with Walnut thumbhole stock.

We're still in negotiations over that one.

I've offered him £50 but he thinks that's far too much to pay for an old gun.

He is

I've already had a Mercury MK3 off him for £10.

And a Webley Vulcan Mk3 for £20.

The other day he gave me a 3-9 x 45PA ASI scope with mounts as "a drink".

I'm trying my best to get all his guns off him before he gets taken away in a straight jacket.

Hi

Must not have been a very popular model. No-one wanted mine when I offered it recently (not for £20 admittedly!) so I kept it as my sample springer instead of the SuperStar.

I never used it until fairly recently when the HW80 became a bit heavy but the '85 still puts the bunnies to sleep just as well.

Haven't noticed it shaking itself apart though but then it was Scorpio tuned.

I really bought it originally because it had a lovely custom stock!

Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy yours!

Bye for now
Cheers

got it here now / don't know but it actually feels heavier than the 80 considering its supposed to be a lighter version it has a screw in trigger block and separate scope rail .It is actualy a pretty gun with a stock like the 77 with a pistol grip cap and covering the breech block
problem is its only doing 8ft lbs so another strip job

hi mally

i bought a HW80 that i thought was an 85 but it turned out that it was an 80 cylinder with an 85 barrel fitted, it doesn't matter though as it's a gorgeous piece of kit with a walnut venom vantage stock (it's a left hooker but just as comfy orthodox)
i don't know whether the action has had the venom treatment yet as i've had no reason to pull it apart it's just so smoooooth (btw it's a .177cal)


>>>HW 80/85??<<<


>>>one more<<<

Mine didn't show up as my mate had to work (Spud planting time )

Maybe tomorrow.

I like the idea of barrel changing as I'd prefer a .22".
