Newbie just dug out a WEIHRAUCH HW85K from the back of a cupboard!

Hoorah! . Best decision you've made all year and you won't regret it -- now ad to it however, with a nice HW80 and an HW90 to sit in the rack either side of it, as the nucleus of an embryonic HW collection . Ha ha. Atb: G.

Did they ever make a nice HW90?

Hmm,
wouldnt disagree with that Ian. Never ever thought the '90 was a step in the right direction for HW.

Glad you keeping the '85 by the way.

Im the other way. No - not THAT way.
Ive got every Weihruach model rifle I require from the tiny '25 through to the '100 with the exception of a '90 and a '57 which I wouldn't want and a '35 Barracuda which I cant have and an early BSF scope railed .177 '85 which I seek.

... Hmmmm ... I was quite fond of mine, but okay then, let it sit with an S.F.S. tweaked HW95K to its left, instead ...

Yep, a 77 would certainly make a nice addition....

I seem to remember Nick jenkinson having a really nicely sorted 77 at our club back in the late 80's/early 90's, when everyone else was using break barrels.

I said up there ^^ that i could only really have the one gun, but I could see this getting addictive!

Oh & the 90 - that's a theoben gas rammed weirauch isn't it? - are they not good then?

[richywilk]

I Just picked up a tatty but mechanicaly sound 85 deluxe in .177 and I
am on Mr Popes list to give it the full work's.
I will post some before and after pic's so you can see the result's.

Will update with progress pics as & when for anybody interested.

Ask yourself - If they had been that good, that successful, why did Weihrauch not produce more gas ram models to their range

I never said they were good. Rare - yes. Good - ?????


Anyway there was 12 members of the '65 Owners Club' at our recent charity shoot so there must be more of them about than first thought.
