Top 3 Weihrauch's

[Mach 1.5]

Following on from my webley and underrated thread. Here's my top 3 HW's...just for fun.

1st Weihrauch HW55T
2nd Weihrauch HW77 mk1
3rd Weihrauch HW50s. Mk1

Over to you folks for your top 3. Mach 1.5

Sorry but he is right

[Hsing-ee]

Or six?

1. Weihrauch HW77K Mk 2 25mm piston (because the fore-sight can be replaced with an interchangeable hooded one or taken off, not cut off with a hacksaw like the Mk 1)
2. Weihrauch HW85 Mk 1 Delux with the screw-in back block and fancy stock
3. Weihrauch HW50S old school
4. Weihrauch Beeman R7/HW30S in .20 calibre
5. Weihrauch HW55T
6. Weihrauch HW35 Export with 22" barrel

Only the HW30S is still being made! And you can only get the .20 in the USA even though its the best calibre for this little rifle.

Worst - HW90, HW57, HW35 Barracuda Ether-boosted rifle, any PCP and especially that pistol.

.
1) HW97K (either main cal),
2) HW80K (best in .22 imho), and third;
3) HW95K (either main cal).

[Blackmax]

Most iconic, trend setter, took the airgun world by storm - HW80
Mostly accurate, set the world of FT alight, set the standard for others to copy - HW77
Stood the test of time, first to use the trigger unit all others have been measured against, nothing to touch it for many years - HW35

[Silver Captain]

1. HW80
2. HW77k
3. HW95

[KeithS]

There's only one the Iconic HW 100

[Geezer]

1. HW55M DT (double set trigger).
2. Mk1 HW77K Tyrolean.

3. Is hard. The 35 was arguably the best airgun in the world when introduced in the fifties. The 80 is iconic, but better at FAC levels than 12. 50S, no experience of them. I think I'd plump for the HW85 in Luxus/Beeman trim (pity it was never made as a K). Or - if it counts in this contest - the Theoben Euro Custom 90.

80 77 85 95

[yorkiets]

Hw77 (just because)
Hw100 (shame it was hit with the ugly stick)
Hw30 (delightful and shoot all dayable)

[Geezer]

A lot of similar picks here.

What are the worst?

57? Fibre-optic sight 45? 22" 35E (that barrel is stupid)? 25?

[crowbar]

1) 77k mk2 in .177
2)80 mk1 in.22
3)35 any cal with a barrel chop

Imho, not the HW25, as is fantastic for juniors too small for an HW30, not the HW35 in any derrivative, as was a landmark rifle back in the 1960s -- and still has an array of stalwart devotees to this day -- but as for the HW57? Yep that thing gets my vote. Have had two, one in each main cal, and although I found the .22 to be slightly more acceptable, in essence, found both to be complete and utter total pants.
