HW98, or HW77 laminate?

[maximus]

77 for me, like the shape and look of the laminate stock, would enjoy the open sight option too. Loading not a problem unless you fit a gert stupid scope on it. Quality rather than quantity, no 30mm tubes, just not required imo. Atb Max

I'd go with the hw77 but it's easy for me as I've got a bigtoe short stroke 98 already the hw77 is a very nice looking rifle

The Weihrauch site is showing the Special Edition 77 in a "brown camo laminated stock" which is the new ambi version. I personally prefer the original lamo stock which I think was named "Autumn" and was a available for a very short time.
However, as a southpaw the newer ambi stock would be welcome !

98 for me because it's a break barrel. I struggle like hell loading the pellets on an under lever even with my delicate little fingers

Own both and you won't go wrong with either mate .The 98 is the easiest to handle due to being a break barrel but accuracy wise I can't split em enjoy !

Urgh! IMO that’s hideous, not a fan of laminate stocks.

Full length 77.. laminate stock.. everyday. I find the 98 rather unattractive. & I think a bit pointless. Its like a hunting rifle trying to be a target rifle, as apposed to being a hunting rifle with an adjustable stock. Your better off with a furkanboing or what ever there called if you want a breaker. The 77 is just superb for most things.. I took mine ratting the other day.. was a bit heavy & long buy just so much fun.



The full length is so much nicer to shoot & looks better imho.

Cheers
TBH i dont think id be dissapointed with either.
I will keep an eye on used ones of both for a while.
Thanks for all feedback

I just hope whatever i get matches my 177 HW95 which is frankly an amazing rifle.

funny thing is I got it as part of a deal and I already had a 77 scope to match never really wanted it but everyone keeps trying to buy it off me so that makes me more likely to keep it TBH it looks better than the picture !

Your 95 will be nothing like a 98. Two very different guns with two very different purposes. The stock on the 98 is head and shoulders above other HW stocks due to its adjustability and it is a pretty decent one at that. The 77 laminate is a bit of a bling . Both the 98 and 77 need tweaking to get the best out of them, the 77 needs more tweaking. The 98 is laser accurate once mastered and because of its heavy shrouded barrel is much more suited to target/FT/HFT shooting since the heavy barrel will counteract the muzzle flip due to the misalignment of the barrel to the shoulder particularly in HFT as extra high mounting scopes are of little use.
