    Whats a good tune for an HW85k ?

    Hi,

    Had a go with a friend of mines HW98 that had been tuned before he bought it. It was a total revelation - very slick, hardly any recoil, yet powerful and a nice quickly shot thumbnail sized group on a fence post 15 yards away, (it was his fence).

    After years on the dark side, I had forgotten how successful airgun stalking is one of the most satisfying and skilled of all the shooting sports. At 25yds every move is critical and forces you to relearn your fieldcraft and be a proper stealthy hunter !

    Have found a hardly used Mk1 hw85k, which was my favorite Weihrauch as a youngster. Its beautifully made and shoots nicely and probably isn't even worn in yet. But compared to the 98, you can tell the 85 is doing a lot of work. The 98 action was very lazy and unstressed and easier to shoot accurately.

    What tuning modifications or kits would you recommend please ?

    Cheers
