    Weihrauch Hw 100

    Hi.
    Im new on the forum and wanting some advise on purchasing my first pcp in a 1.tt cal

    I have been looking at he obvious e,g Air Arms S410, Weihrauch hw100ks or the Daystate Huntsman. I would be looking to use the rifle for target and hunting.

    Has any one had bad experiences with either 3 rifles, or is there a stand alone individual.?

    Any advise given would be appriciated

    Regards

    For what you want (assuming half hunting/half targets), I'd probably favour the S410 - it's been a good reliable platform for years.

    I also like to do both but, 90% hunting - my HW100 has never let me down - it's just a good solid, easy to use air rifle.

    Good luck with your search.

    All of the above.

    I've had all three.
    In .177 calibre .
    The 410 was a carbine , with a left handed walnut stock ,nice and light to carry around and deadly accurate.
    The HW100kt is a carbine thumbhole with a fantastic side lever cocking mechanism. It's a little heavier than the 410 and is again unbelievably accurate.
    The Huntsman , again I had it with a left handed stock and action , reasonably light and the accuracy , well the less said about that the better !
    My HW100KT is still my go to rifle , although currently it's a tough choice between it and my new Kral Puncher NP-02 . A bargain price rifle that although may not be quite as refined as the others , shoots equally as well and is more than capable of both targets and hunting .

    I have the HW100kt and the AA 410 Classic. The HW hits what I point it at, easily, and for that reason seems sometimes if I'm not needed, if that makes sense. The AA is slightly more of a challenge and therefore I find it more rewarding.
    At the end of the day, you need to get to a club or gunshop and try all three for yourself, as only you will know how comfortable or not you find them.
    I assume your '1.tt' calibre is supposed to be .177?

    '1 tried and tested calibre'- now I wonder which one that would be?

    The 3 rifles feel quite different when you handle them, which you prefer is personal taste, I'd also include the AA S510 with the sidelever rather than the bolt of the 410 but again that's personal taste.

    Yes 1.77 cal technology an me dont seem to get on????

    It seems that the order of play is the Hw or Air arms..

    I to have read some mixed reviews about the Daystate, but wanted to hear it from someone who's had the use of one..

    Well its narrowed it down to 2, and these 2 were the ones that stood out,,,, But over all, the HW 100 has the better feedback from you gentlmen..

    Ill have to keep an eye out for either rifles as a package or rifle only. I have a decent scope i could put on, so Rifle and Buddy bottle search begins!!!!!!

    Thank you all again
