So who would actually buy a Weirauch if they finally made a decent one?

Hi all,

Just wondered who would actually buy a Weirauch if they finally made a decent one

Count me out

Come on Tony it's about time you admit you've got one

I feel a ban coming on

Pete

[TonyL]

Hee Hee hee, you truly are a most amusing character, Pete.

Yes, I've got one. In fact I've got loads of 'em!

I have five of your all-time favourites, the classic 35. A 55T. Two 95s. A 98. Two 97s. A 77 with V-Mach kit and synthetic stock. A 77K. A 77 Vantage. A 50. Two 99s. Two Venom tuned 80s. Four 30Ss. My Lazaglided HW80 bullpup, The Predator. Pistols - HW45, 70 and 40. I think that's it; I'll shout up if I remember any more!




And you know what? I love every single one of them. Some may be tuned, some home fettled, some totally bog standard and I'm truly happy with every single one of them.

I really don't need any more guns. What I actually need is more time to play with and lovingly caress my beloved HWs.

You’ve got far too many there, mate.
Bring a few of them to the bash, I’ll rehome them for you - but it’s a favour...

No, no, no, no, no!

One can never have too many lovely HWs, Craigy.

The only thing that's stopping me having more is lack of safe storage space and funds.

Hope you and the family are all keeping well matey.

You are only missing the Hw57 Tony ,go on you know you want one 😜.

I dunno, once I have reached the end of my Weihrauch experiment I might sell them all and get a TX200HC or a ProSport. Maybe keep the old 30 and of course the 35...

Weihrauchs I don't like are

HW98
HW95
'New' HW85
HW57
HW45
'New' HW25
Any kind of HW80
HW97 long and short
HW75
HW40
HW100 etc
The new pistol that looks like a scarey sex-toy
HW55
HW99S and 'new' HW50

That is quite a nest of them I doan like. They are all a bit lacking in one department or another.

[landymick]

I wasn't aware of a bad one.

So you like the 35, 77, old 50, old 85, and 30?

Well, I guess they are all likeable, even the 35. I kind of agree. Though I like some others on your dislike list.

I mean, who doesn't like the HW55? Especially in factory tyro format. How can you like the 35 and not the 55?

And you like the HW70? Which is OK, but nothing special, and inferior to a Diana LP5/5G.

I agree with you on the 80, at least in sub 12ft-lbs format. Great big heavy cannon whose success over here in the 80s was less down to build quality and great trigger (both of which they had) and more to the fact that many of the "12ft-lbs" ones back then were delivered running at more like 16. But you object to "any kind" of 80? Even a John Darling type Venom? Still not my preferred spring rifle, but you could do a heck of a heck of a lot worse.

The 25 has never really been on my list, Alistair.

Can only agree on the PCPs.

But all those others are awesome!


So that's why you sold me the 55 then? Love it; must give it an airing soon.

[look no hands]

No, Les, I'm not convinced that I do actually want one.

But you like things that pop up and you can push back down

Pete

Yes, it would only take going back to the old type without the new bits and the star breech barrel and no warning stamped on them, just fit a spring guide that actually fitted the spring and fit a ABT that didn't sound like a ratchet on the fixed barrels. Until then my 17 year old 80 is a long term keeper

[JME]

100K and 95K great airguns IMO.
