Which springer to go for?

[ratbuster2240]

I recently recommended an HW99 to a friend. I shot it and I was very impressed. So light, full power and deadly accurate even in standard form.

I do like underlevers like the hw97 hw77 or tx200 but the weight ruins the enjoyment unless you are stationary target shooting. I gave the HW57 a go it feels like a lightweight HW77k perfectly weighted.

So my recommendation would be Weihrauch: break barrel HW 99s or underlever HW57

andybrock,

For me an Air Arms TX200 every time

What he said. The AA TX200 is the best 'out of the box' air-rifle made and possibly the most accurate on average. If you want a break-barrel then TonyL's recommendation of a modern HW35 is the one to go for.

HW99s - accurate, easy to shoot well, a joy to carry, simply lovely straight from the box...

Your all wrong chaps get the daddy an older 77 in .22 with the 25mm internals

[Milkybarkid]

Air arms pro sport in .22 with venom internals accurate and smooth as a PCP

My own favourites of many owned across the years:- AA TX200 or Hunter Carbine; HW97KT Blackline (synthetic thumbhole - cheaper & lighter weight than beech stock); Walther Terrus (synth stock).

All superb rifles, the Walther a markedly cheaper, lighter weight break barrel which like the TX200, shoots more smoothly from new. The twangy 97KT is quickly improved by stripping & re-greasing, although not as easy to take apart as the TX (neither are difficult).

Weasle,para and even a PCPShooter seem to agree with my sig. And Tony of course

80 all the way!

If you want a break-barrel then I'd say go for a Weihrauch HW80 but if you fancy a fixed barrelled rifle then i'd always recommend a Weihrauch HW77K or HW97K.
All these rifles I have mentioned are fantastic quality guns that are extremely accurate and built to last!
ATB in whatever you chose 👍🏻

I want to get a non PCP air rifle that I can use for work (pest control) one that can be a grab and go rifle so I don't have to worry if it's charged etc. Just wondering what to go for really as its 20 years since I used a springer / gas ram type air gun.
Accuracy and consistency would be vital and probably in.22.....any recommendations?

The most accurate and probably the best of the Weirauch springers is the HW 98. Some folks don't like the custom stock appearance of it but I really do like mine in preference to the 95 and 80. I also have a TX 200 HC .22 which is a brilliant rifle and worked well out of the box but now works even better with a little drop in Top hat and Guide and also a .177 Pro sport which I think is the best looking spring air rifle ever bar none and it shoots very accurately . I have treated it to a Vortek kit though.
