Rifle recommendations

[BigFatWilson]

Anyone recommend a rifle? I’m fairly fussy when it comes to them , il leave my “criteria” below,


Must be break barrel
Ideally spring
Caliber .22
Wooden stock(beach or walnut)
Ideally a intergrated silencer if not must be threaded for one
No silly warning signs/stamps(would have had a Weihrauch if it wasn’t for the warning stamp ☹️)
Budget for the rifle is Around the £400 mark, Ideally want to buy brand new, I’ve tried looking and can’t seem to find much that matches my needs, thanks in advance fellas

Weihrauch HW98 or 95 and put up with warning stampings.

And a very warm welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome
I love the 95, shot it at my local range a few times, really good rifle, the stamping would just grind me down, if it wasn’t for the stamping would have snapped one up instantly

In that case, buy an HW95 and a rectangular sticker to go over the 'Achtung' stamps.

A Union Jack sticker? Or a Venom one? Welsh Dragon?

Burmingham Webley are great, had Stingrays also couple trackers in the past and last 8 years a Brumbow. Well worth the concideration.

Get an older HW - no warning stamps.

[BigFatWilson]

Interesting, Never knew the older Weihrauchs have no stamping, thanks for the info!

HEALTH AND SAFETY is for modern Numpties, old Numpties it seems had common sense over their modern counterparts My 2008 HW80 has warning... Good job too as it saved me twanging myself My 1991 HW85 hasn't and old 80 never had the stamping on it.

What cock. Why do you think that Employers Liability Insurance is mandatory amongst others. Even today, examples of saving a few quid at the potential risk to an individual is still rife. That's speaking generically.

Speaking specifically, just watch Youtube to see how many people don't follow a proper safety regime in gun handling. Not holding the barrel or cocking lever and redesigning the coefficient of drag for your thumb when it slams shut, finger on trigger, swinging the rifle around like its a light sabre.....looking down barrels after a hang fire, getting hit by ricochets......you name it really. Its all there.

The ability for individuals to be total cocks is unbounded. I would rather a warning is issued because when Mr or Mrs Pratt come a knocking, they have a possible line of defence. Its like cyclists who think no light is an "Option" and wearing black non reflecting clothing is a "good" idea. Yet when they get hit, they think its all the car drivers fault......100% plus. And when you stop and point out you cant see them, you get told to "foxtrot Oscar"......the men are even worse.

You see where I am coming from.

If your competent then woohooo.....but sadly for every one that is, there are many that are not.

Whether a rifle has warning signs on it or not is totally immaterial. Its down to being taught correctly.

Sod air rifle licensing, it should be mandatory for anyone wanting an air rifle to get trained and signed off by a competent club before they can purchase any equipment. Makes more sense to. Sadly, not all clubs are competent.....I walked into one and had a loaded S200 pointed directly at my face by an "experienced" shooter that had been handed to a total novice 1st time shooter who was just left to "get on with it".....I jumped on that one a bit lively.

Maybe a tattoo on the forehead isn't too little either.....

I know it's off topic(ish) - but this reminded me so much of the example which Steyr has highlighted:

I worked in retail - A Chinese guy bought a top end computer and set it on fire the same day by doing this:

Not reading the instructions, disposing of the A4 yellow warning sheet on top of the PC in it's box, removing the anti tamper sticker on the power supply, removing the anti tamper plastic cover on the power supply, plugging in a home made USA type lead to the now exposed power supply, and finally pushing the switch from 240v to 110v - which promptly set it alight!

His reasoning - 110v is half of 240v so it must be cheaper to run it

I kid you not!
