    I've sold my rammer, so where's this bloody Air Arms then?

    As above really.

    Has Terry stopped mucking about with it yet, so we can all have a go

    Arriving with me tomorrow, Pete.

    I'll have a word with Terry to see if he's okay with you having a play afterwards!

    Honest!

    But but but .... when is the official launch, which copy of AGW will it be in, will Pete be stripping it for YouTube and checking there isn't a gas strut or ram hidden in there?

    Honestly, most people should be satisfied with a BSA Meteor Mk 4.

    Let's see. Set it up at 10.5 fpe if it is .177, 11.3 if it is .22, put your best scope on it, practice some and lets see what 'new kid on the block Air Arms' can do in comparison...

    I dunno, you take one of these oily springer types into your confidence - and he blabs about it to the whole world!

    Well, there goes your key to the secret test facility, mush, not to mention the cancellation of your Platinum Ticket tour of the prototype development plant.

    We'd ordered Hobnobs and a barrel of Bankses Mild, too!
    If you don't know enough to judge - don't judge

    Looks like I might be getting sloppy seconds instead, I can live with that

    Really sorry, Terry, but I just got kinda all sorts of over-excited.

    Please, please consider re-instating my privileges; I promise to be more careful in future, I really do!:

    Now, if you've quite finished putting that lovely new HW218 Custom through its paces, I'd love to have a go on that!







    Pete, now you've been teased for long enough and I've inadvertently spilled some of Heinz's finest, I can tell you a little more about this incredible new shooting machine..

    The new rifle boasts a most handsome, well-figured walnut stock with beautifully cut checkering; none of that fish scale nonsense here. Surprisingly, the comb is a little on the low side for dedicated scope use, but it's more than usable and the rifle also comes with a set of high quality open sights, quite refreshing in this day and age. The slot on the underside of the stock is nice and short, due to the articulated cocking lever.

    The two stage trigger is an absolute delight, as is the auto safety.

    The manual barrel latch is beautiful. Nice and solid and silent in operation.

    Balance is sublime, cocking and firing cycles are silky smooth and the rifle boasts quality and solid engineering throughout and feels built to last a fair few lifetimes.

    It's beautiful.

    Apparently, versions with beech stocks and carbine models are in the pipeline too.


    The name seems rather unimaginative, though.......















    Call me "Weihrauch; Weihrauch HW35 Export"!!!!!!
