    Your favourite Weihrauch?

    What is your all time favourite Weihrauch?
    Since I was a boy I always loved the Weihrauch HW80 that my cousin had even though I had the fantastic Feinwerkbau Sport Mk2.
    I have in the last twelve months purchased a Weihrauch HW77K in SE Laminated Forest Stock and the superb HW35E which again I was always a fan of!
    It's hard to chose out of the HW35E and HW77K as I love both but would like to know your favourite?
    Thankyou

    Ooo, that's hard because a 25mm piston 97K is the best (factory standard) HW (springer) for target shooting with a scope. By far... but it's too heavy for puffs and long tall drinks of water.

    Underlevers are all for homosexuals, so it would have to be the HW80 for its iconic status or the HW95 for its all round ability.

    HW35's were an accidental genetic splicing between an air rifle, a carp rod and a 1950's wooden pencil case. Tragic but true.

    They're good, but they're only a tinsey tiny weeny bit better than a whooping 30mm HW80, that should, by all reasoning, be crap.

    I've never owned a WH

    Genuinely interested in which is best, disregarding weight .. I like a heavier gun

    Now this IS a tough one......

    I have a few 35s, a few 77s, a couple of 97s, three 30Ss, two 99Ss, two 95s, a 98, a 55 and, er, I love 'em all!

    So, just for example, in recent times I've been using a 95 and I'd convinced myself that this really was my favourite middle-weight break barrel sporter and the 99s haven't had a look in. Then, I used one of the 99s yesterday and I just love it. So accurate and so forgiving. This lightweight full power beast should be a snarling, snapping thing by all accounts, but it's not, it's lovely.

    And each time I use any of them I just fall back in love with that particular rifle no matter the size, spec or state of tune.

    So, sorry, it's a cop-out from me!


    Oops, sorry, forgot the three 80s!

    I'll second that. I have five or six of them plus other HWs. My regular goto gun has been modified and has had input from Bowkett, Cardew, Robb and B&C. Shoots very nicely in its nice CS walnut stock. When I mean business its the one that comes with me

    Previously owned,

    HW97K
    HW97KT
    HW77
    HW77K
    HW90
    HW90k
    HW95
    HW95K
    HW95K Luxus
    HW80
    HW80K
    HW99s
    HW98
    HW50s
    HW100S
    HW100K
    HW100KT
    HW30
    HW30K
    HW25
    HW57
    HW40
    HW45
    HW70

    And quite a few multiples of some of those

    Picking a favourite is impossible, some I liked and some I hated with one rusting away at the bottom of the Trent

    I guess top 3 would be HW100, HW99s, HW80K not sure which order though as those 3 are all very different
