Possibly the same place as last time

What? Outdoors with Hal?

[MikeHW45]

“Ordered it” ? He’s gone and got it and shot it

Yep!!! Picked it up today as the RFD at Crawley is a huge stockist and had several of them there. Unbelievably its beautiful straight out the box with no twang!!!!

And......as I was returning the Umarex M4 it only cost me an extra 20 quid!!!!!

Bargain!

Superb, the little 99s, Mikey. Many of the more recent HWs that I've tried have not twanged; obviously the factory must be paying more attention to this aspect.

And don't they shoot so very sweetly?

.177 or .22?

[MikeHW45]

Its in .22 Tone. A lovely little shooter. I had a good hour garden plinking yesterday!!!

[TonyL]

Marvellous, Mikey.

Many of us must sound like stuck records to "outsiders" when we put the '99 forward for purchase. But it really is such a wonderful little gun and hard to argue against as a proposition for purchase. For little more than the outlay required for a "budget gun" and, indeed, cheaper than some, you get a beautifully balanced and weighted rifle from a trusted, established maker and its performance assured by the quality barrel and superb Rekord trigger. And the firing cycle's sublime, isn't it?

Indeed, when recommending a rifle for that friend of mine a couple of months ago, I explained that, although it may not have the marketing presence of the larger Weihrauchs, in terms of performance at our limit it gives nothing away to any of its more illustrious bigger brothers. And sweeter shooting in many cases. Certainly not to be regarded as "simply a first rifle" to later trade in against a larger HW, but one to cherish and keep.

Compared to prices of many other rifles out there, I'm still stunned that this rifle is available at this price point and, for anyone who doesn't have one, well, it'd be rude not to......

Maybe a drop of oil on that linkage and a little smear of moly paste on the lever and cocking hook / inside rear of cylinder, like we did with your friend's in April, just as a precaution?
