    HW Rifle Prices

    Wtf is going on with Weihrauch rifles prices, is this because we have left the EU.

    I used to think the sportsman gun centre was always keen on their prices but at £468 for a new Hw77, £422 Hw80 & £417 Luxus Hw95

    At these prices you would have thought Air arms could bring out a new mid weight break barrel rifle to add to their line up ?

    I think you will find it's all of the manufactures not just Weihrauch.

    Just looked at ProSports £660 to 699 it's all gone mad. I am just glad I have all I want now.

    Shooting Air Rifles is like being a pubic hair on a toilet seat.
    Eventually someone comes a long and P's you off.
    They usually have a PCP

    The pound to Euro hasn't varied that much over the year

    Possibly it is to do with all the additional paperwork, increase in costs due to pandemic or because they can. There's a lot of grey haired fellows with lots of money piling up and a garden that can be turned into a range.

    Generally best to buy HW or any springer s/h as they all need fettling. The thick end of £500 for an HW77 seems bonkers.

    Air Arms use Walther barrels and Italian stocks so might be extra costs there.

    Prices have been going up faster than inflation and raw materials for years, nowt to do with Brexit etc.

    Just took a look at Leicestershire Airguns and they're doing the 77K at £417 to order.
    I did see the 57 has gone from £299 to £324 now though.

    I think it's a fair bet that 77k will be stamped Hull Cartridge so grey imports costing more than that will be a first.

    I'm just glad I've got a bucket full of HWs already, John, though I wouldn't mind another 80.

    I keep getting drawn to playing with oldschool HW50s in my workshop, they're lovely, well made little things --- a bit like a dwarf HW35.

    BTW did you ever do anything with that 77 action you had with the buggered welds ?






    All the best Mick

    Another 80 Mick is that a hint ?

    Agree about the old school 50's, I have one that was fettled by Steve Pope from back in the Venom days, although I refuse to refer to it as a dwarf 35 how could anyone love such a ugly creation. lol

    I am a little surprised you remembered that 77 or perhaps I hoped no one would ever mention it again. It was an embarrassment at the time but now looks rather unique, I sorted the buggered Mk1 77 by drilling and pinning the barrel/block back in place, the rifle is now made up from several different 77 rifles parts, it has a full length barrel, carbine underlever, modified Mk2 catch, 26mm pock holed piston and a Webley pro system silencer, the main thing is it shoots straight .

    If you really are after another Hw I will have to send you a pm in the not to distant future, it's not a 80 but it might float your boat.

    All the best

    John

    I wasn't, but I'm intrigued now, John.

    Been thinking this for a while

    Same with all air rifles and prices have been going up for a while.

    eg - Ones I am familiar with

    Brocock Compatto -2016 - £590
    2020 - £770 = 30% increase. You can pay much much more if you add reg and soft touch options

    HW110 - 2016 - £600
    2020 - £750-785 = 25% - 30.8% increase


    You can pretty much buy a decent (not overated/special edition) PCP and sell it for a profit after a few years. Heck, you could sell a lot of 90s airguns for a profit! The days of a £300 AA Prosport!

    Yep, seemingly so. Like Mick, I suppose I'm lucky that I have got lots of HWs and plenty of airguns in general already......the missus would day I have FAR too many.. There's always something else I could fancy, though......

    There are a number of retailers selling the HW110 at around £715 (new)

    Personally I would still rather buy an older Springer at over half the price and spend a little more on a spring kit,

    I think that most HWs and Air Arms are over priced these days.

    The even bigger joke are people trying to sell used ones for pretty much the new price.
