Weihrauch HW45 - which calibre .177 .22

[JCB357]

Mine is .22 but never tried a .177 so can't help I'm afraid. Suspect no real diff in use terms between then though.

The .177 has 2 power modes (not sure if its the same with the .22?) so i'd go for that. I find the lower power setting is great for shooting at shorter distances or indoors.

If i get the .177, do you mean if I set/cock the barrel at half then this would be half-power, and if its set fully down/across then it has full power?

The .22 also has both power modes .

I had a .22 it seemed more comfortable to shoot and less snappy than the .177 I tried. Cracking gun . Great fun to shoot. Very accurate at 10m.

Ahh I didn't know that. I had a .22 years ago that only had full power. Can't imagine the low power mode being much use on the .22 though.

Thankyou for all the replies and words of advice, im going for a .22 calibre!
Will see how i get on and might upgrade it with a scope etc once i get used to it.
Many thanks

I always had .177 because it has dual power settings then had a .22 barrel as a spare....just a thought!
