HW80, HW35, HW99s, HW30s - take your pick...

[micky2]

A BSA prewar underlever, as good as any moden rifle with open sights.

HW77 cos its the best, if I wanted a break barrel then it would be the HW95 Super Match

that looks promising.

Wished you hadn't mentioned the Supermatch. I didn't even know these existed.

So, the standard factory one is basically a '98 with open sights?

Absolutely bloomin' lovely and I want one!

I concur

HW80 or HW99S

Agree with the 77, The distance between the sights make a big difference, Awsum with opens,

HW 99s then take the Wife/Lady/Girl/Partner out for a good slap-up meal with the surplus budget !
They can't "come back at you then" when you have just acquired another gun !
The worlds full of 77's n TX's in any case !

my HW99S (.177) is a monster,its the best weihrauch ive ever shot,this includes hw97k and hw95k.the 95k (.22) was a pudding i though out the box was weak,different spring would have made it better,but brand new out the box it should have been better than it was.best break barrel open sight rifle is the legendary HW80.but.but theres plenty out there incuding the HW77,as long as it says weihrauch ya go to go ;-)

A fair few HW rear sights other than the one you found or did you just pick a poor looking one to beat with your 2 Diana ones?

I'm a Diana man through and through but have to admit the foresights are shockingly bad, just a huge blob of plastic. Not sure about the ones with fibre optic running through but the one on my 430 is awful.

Now my HR81 with front hood sight is far better, for that reason I'd be looking at the Weihrauch models with similar sights.

I agree, I don't understand why Diana keep that type the only thing to do is slightly modify to make just about adequate like this
