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

[rogb]

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.

Firstly, thanks for all the reply's thank you. My current guns include HW77K and Cometa 300 & 400.

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

HW80 gets my vote.

I'd go for the HW80 simply because I always wanted one plus that all time legendary status it has!!

Got one of each, HW80K in .22 and a HW95K in .177, both are very good and it depends on what you are going to use the airgun for. For hunting, either will do, but the 95 is lighter. For target shooting / hft the 77/97/98 are better choices.

Like a lot of us that have been around for a while, I am very well acquainted with Weihrauchs offerings springer wise over the last few decades. The comments regarding the HW98 are spot on. My son has one and it is truly excellent. We have owned several 95s and I still use an 80 regularly. 98 is more accurate than any and is nearly on a parr with a PCP, providing you hold the gun properly of course.

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.

blummin heck, how bigs yer scope! Mine (all be it with 10" barrel custom stock and steel silencer) is only a few ounces heavier than my 95 with std barrel cs500 stock and steel silencer, scopes are similer too
