    A sneak preview of Weihrauch's new PCP?

    Is there such a thing as owning too many guns?

    Would like to see it in all its glory with a walnut stock but not sure they plan to do one?

    I agree, although they may launch it with one stock and add others at a later stage depending on how sales go

    Looks to me very much like a 'HW100' with a plastic stock, don't know if I'm missing something but I can't see it being a vast improvement over any of their other PCP rifles which are already top notch as it is !...

    Basically all they've done is stuck a tactical stock on it and added a few 'tarty bits' much the same as any other manufacturer has done of late, basically they've jumped on the 'tactical' bandwagon !...

    There also doesn't seem to be a lot of info in terms of weight / size / shot count or anything yet or have I missed something along the way???

    I would say practical not tactical .
    I hunt with air guns so i dont want bluing i want anodized i dont want to worry about scratching my stock so i like synthetic
    I use gun mounted torches or laser designators and an atlas bipod so i want weaver rails
    Airguns are excellent pest control tools i want mine as practical and weather resistant as possible
    I was seriously considering the compatto but if this fits right il be going HW

    Is a semi auto allowed under the present law? Also they have described the stock as soft touch. This could be like a velour coated plastic. the cheek piece seems a lot higher and the butt seems more like a BSA R10 . If this thing is true and in production it could be an interesting gun. Seems a lot pettier than that Compatto that Brocock have brought out.

    In answer to your 'weight/size/shot count' brain teaser it'll be 'a few ounces less/much the same/much the same, the problem is that people see a so called 'New' rifle and expect less weight, less bulk and more shots when in practise if every new/improved version of a PCP had an improved shot count then by now we'd only have to fill it up once at the shop when new, it'd be about the size of a spud gun and weigh no more than a rizla paper !...👍

    If we all go to the British shooting show later this month, we will all find out. That's where it's being unveiled to the public.
    Is there such a thing as owning too many guns?

    Much sense here especially for rough Field Work.
    I'd go with that !
