    Hw80

    Ok maybe not in the same class as it fixed barrel siblings but still up there. It won it's fair share of competitions back in the early 80s. I've owned over 100 in 40 years. Yes I like them. Mach 1.5

    Excellent, and more accurate than just about 100% of the people that shoot them as the weak link is the shooter, just make the gun fit you with an adjustable butt pad and ideally an adjustable cheek piece as well although getting the right size scope mounts will sort of sort that out. Add a set back trigger for extra luxury and bingo, unless you already have fingers like extra terrestrial of course, in which course...you won’t need the set back trigger...

    Hi there, would you say the changes made are good/bad/indifferent, also would you agree with some people who say the modern weihrauchs are not as well made as the they were, just a few general question for all the Weihrauch lovers out there...

    I have wondered about the barrel retaining catch come forward stock screw mount with it's spring clip to stop the cocking link rattling but I doubt many on here have had the pleasure of owning the lastest spec model, unless that happens to be Mach 1.5 with his self confessed 100 + Hw80's wtf

    I really fancy one.

    Even though I am a big fan of my numerous very dainty, but nevertheless mighty, 30 ess's it seems that I should not meet my maker without owning an 80.

    The older ones do seem to be made of better steel but to be honest they are still one of best break barrel air rifles made to this day. Mach 1.5

    I wouldn't want the new version I'd go for one at least 15 or 20 years old and fettle in back to as bought or near as.
