As in the title really. With the benefit of experience & hindsight which do you think was the better of the two in carbine or full length barrel? I'd like to keep the HW97 out of the equation but if anyone wants to refer to it in comparisson with either the HW77 or Superstar i'd be happy to hear what they say. I know the Rekord trigger was a bit of a gem but the Superstar trigger was pretty good too, the Superstar has a bit of an awkward sight rail to remove for servicing but its not as if it has to be taken off that often. The rotary breach in the Superstar is a bit of a winner for me though, but in the end does it all just come down to personal choice. Is the clincher the simple fact that Superstar production ended & HW carried on & developed the '97 making a Weihrauch the winner, if the Superstar came out earlier do you think it would it have had better sales? If I had to choose between them I would find it quite tricky, but I think I might go for the BSA. Close thing though.
