Which springer to go for?

[andybrock]

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?

A hw99 in .22 is excellent

[Rocket launcher]

A hw95 comes with silencer and screwcut barral unlike the hw99 also a lot lighter to carry than a hw80 all come with a superb Ricard trigger..possibly the best trigger ever

Do not touch a BSA compared to the German stuff they are rubbish so any gun with hw in the name

[Weasle]

An HW 80 - in what ever flavour you choose - with a Vmach reduced cylinder conversion by Mr Pope.
Built to last - never let you down - consistent and beautiful to shoot.

Cheers

Three replies, three different suggestions good luck on choosing andybrock

[TORNADOS7]

HW95k in .22 would be my choice, although I have been toying with the idea of getting a .20 lately !...

[andybrock]

Three replies but all suggest Weirhauch so that narrows my search down to one manufacturer!
Thanks so far keep suggestions coming!

Wish we could say that those bsa lightnings are pretty, compact ,pointable ,smooth and accurate....but sadly not the case.Ive a 95 and it's superb ....99s is lovely too.Both weirhauch

99,s shoot better than 95,s I've had at least 4 95,s,sold them all 2 in .177 and 2 in .22. Why do I still want another 95 though ? I really really want to like them, but in truth I find my 99 so much nicer to shoot and ssssooooo much easier to be accurate with

Yeah gotta say I had to do a fair bit o tinkering to get my 95 to shoot well but then it was a .177 so I don't know if the .22 is any better !... 👍

HW80K / KS .20 cal from what you've said, the workhorse in the best 'all round' calibre

Walther Terruus with synthetic stock.
Smooth out the box ( unlike others ) but even better with a Tinbum top hat in it.

HW80 .20 or .22 with either vmach or SFS stage 1 perfect for what you want 👍

Got a sfs.177 tuned 95 for £200 from sfs. Chap only had it a week ,old boy and wanted a pcp all along.Anyway ,it's smoother and nicer than my .22 99s which is smoother than a prom queens thighs ,only not so risky....never thought I'd say that to be honest .

95 or 99 or if you don't mind a little more weight an 80. All great quality air rifles, built to last and reliable. I just picked up a 95 and it's a keeper.
