hw 90 gas ram pros cons ?

[Mach 1.5]

I had a Theoben Country man then I discovered a HW90TB. The theoben was sold a week after the HW90TB arrived. Mach 1.5

I have a few theoben rammers and one is the hw90tb. Trigger is way better than the theoben units.

The TB was the Theoben-offered (TB, see) special with a walnut custom stock, carbine barrel and TB silencer.

There was also a similar but different “Euro Custom”, which I think was again a Theoben-supplied model.

I once knew the differences between the two, but have forgotten. Anyway, they are definitely nicer than the standard HW90, and quite rare.

The euro custom have a high grade walnut stock which is either right or lefthanded. The Tb like i have has a ambidextrous stock. The euro custom stock is beautiful.

Thanks. I think they also may differ slightly (beyond LH/RH vs ambi) in perhaps the profile of the fore-end, and/or the chequering? But I may be hallucinating that.

Anyway, they are both rare and rather lovely.

I owned a Theoben Evolution and a BSA Lightning with a Theoben gas strut I fitted, have also shot a HW90 a few times.

I have found gas rams very different to shoot compared to springers.

They have a very quick action, which can be described as 'snappy'.

Once you get used to it though, it's fine.

Yes the stock profile is totally different on the euro. Looks like the cheekpiece is higher also. The stock looks stunning on the euro custom compared to my tb
