    Weihrauch HW80 VS HW95 both good guns but which is best?

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm currently in a position to buy my next airrifle, and I can't make my mind up whether to go for the HW95 or the HW80, I'm biased towards the HW80 but a club member has suggested the HW95 as being more accurate of the two, dunno what do you think?

    Cheers
    Darren

    Buy second-hand ...

    And track down an HW85 with the raised scope ramp. The design is more solid than the HW95, which replaced it as it was cheaper to make.

    The HW80 is really an FAC rifle, so if you are buying new then the HW95 is probably the way to go with its faster lock-time, but really its best to spend the extra and get an HW98 which is probably the most accurate sub-12 ft/lb b/b Weihrauch make at the moment.

    Yeah, pick one of each of them up. You will know immediately if you are going to get on with the Kannon!

    If I was going to get a 12fp break barrel I think I'd get a 99 and tune it and put it in a heavy custom stock with a high comb.

    What do you want the gun for?

    Done the high comb thing on other rifles, frankly the less contact seems to work better for me, ie Orginal 45's and HW77 stocks. Very low combs and forgiving rifles to shoot in real life situations. Either HW will be a good bet

    Both, I have each one and they are different. If you're a lightweight go for the lightweight!

    Ps. Mine have been Vmached by Mr Pope. Superb bits of kit!

    Dunno about more accurate, question is do want a lightweight springer or a heavyweight springer?

    I like heavyweight springers as to me they feel less snappy, flippy and less felt recoil, especially in .177.

    If you don't want those things, get a 95

    You might try keeping the power low on either if you want the least hold sensitivity, say 10.5 ft/lbs.

    i agree. springers seem to be a lot nicer to shoot between 10.5 and 11 ft pounds.

    why not go for an underlever such as the 77/97? if i were after a break barrel it'd be between the hw80 and the 98.

    Hw80 is a true classic and a great gun and as stated before IMO they run better in fac. I would have a hw95 in 177 get a good kit for it, I'd have b&c in mine but others are good a hw98 is the same gun as a 95 with a shrouded barrel and better stock. Atvb rob

    Are 95s lightweight then?

    I've had my mates SFS tuned HW95k to play around with for the last couple of weeks and noted to myself it felt quite lardy compared to me Webley Xocet. So is the 95 a light weight as far as Weinrauchs go then?

    Simply, yes!

    The xocet and bsa's supersport are bordering on "junior" rifles.
    That's not a put down, I have a supersport that I love and has accounted for many bunnies. It does make my fenman feel like a fat bird on a stool tho!

    Well I just weighed the 80 with an old fishing spring balance and it comes in at just over 11.5lb scoped.

    See what your 95 comes in at, the one's I've tried felt very light.
