Anyone had any dealings with the WEIHRAUCH HW100

[kgb]

i have a hw100 mk 1 i had it threded to take the new weihrauch silencer this is now near silent at 40 yards geting 1/2 inch groups all in all one hell of a gun

i have one in fac and find it excellant. Quiet and powerful it has a great magazine and action that is foolproof and a good trigger. The finish and wood quality are very good. The silencer as previously mentioned must be one of the best currently available. Pellet fussy but shoots aa field pellet on pellet. Said to have a regulator it is certainly very consistent (12 fps over the whole charge) In my opinion even with the extra expense of some after market alterations such as the rplacement air cylinder it would be still good value in comparison to the competition. The down side for some people may be the comb height and scope rail. I use a low scope so it isnt a problem for me but with the sporter stock i wouldnt want to use mounts higher than sportsmatch low. As the scope obj doesnt clear the front of the action (for my set up) it rather limits scope choice. You would need to check fit for yourself. hth

Hi there,

I had a Mk1 - loved the cricket-bat thumbhole stock - hated removing the bottle to recharge - couldn't get on with the noise it made from the "silencer" and I kept getting too many flyers [albeit in .22] so I part-ex'd it for an MFR.

However, I've had a MkII Sporter-stocked model for a few months now - it's whisper quiet - that HW sweet trigger is even sweeter - the cocking action is about the best I've ever used - I've put a BAR quickfill cylinder on it which makes recharging a piece of cake - I love the new stock as I like to shoot thumb-up and the single-shot adapter works like a charm. Overall impression is pretty outstanding and it shoots like a charm [.177 and no flyers]

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Buzz

I have the "mk1" version in .22 I removed the origional (non efective ) silencer, machined a logun silencer meant for a rapid 7, so that it fitted the barrel and that solved the noise problem, the cocking mechanism is easy quiet and actually works? the magazine (you get two) is a quality item no plastic face plates to break etc, as for the filling method? I have found it absolutely no problem in fact I find it a prefarable method? just wished the cylinder was a bit lighter!!! as for the stock again love or hate its appearance? but its a dream to actually hold?
oh and mine is zero.d at 40 yards and using a bipod I can fire pellet into pellet? time afer time, I would have another tommorrow
cheers MH

.177 Mk 1, probably the best rifle I have ever owned

The BAR site says that the replacement air tube is not suitable for the mk11 model how did you get around this? I was going to get in touch with them to find out why but perhaps you already know?

i think it may not come past the silencer as it is a lot deeper on the mk 2

You have to have the silencer as well - this is what Lloyd at BAR told me when I made enquiries a short while back:

"We can modify the new style Hw100 if you are having the carbon silencer as well as the cylinder. The big Weihrauch silencer will get in the way of the cylinder but our carbon full length silencer is slimmer so it will fit fine."

I own 3 Weihrauch's 2 of them the HW100, excellent all round air rifle, my advice is go to a local club and chat to owners, they may let you try their's so that you can make your own decision about how it fits you and how comfortable you will be with the weight.

[Steyr]

the words sleek and elegant dont spring to mind, but I have tried one a couple of yimes and it is a well made rifle. Good finish and the engineering was excellent. No slack or play in the mechanics and felt silky smooth. Bit too square jawed for me though in its standard stock.

You shouldnt go wrong with it.

My mate Mick..just got one he loves it..<here is a pic>

I have had a go on it....very nice gun.....
