I owned one for a few years. Cracking little rifle. Got me into the airgun world final at Bisley.
The Weihrauch 99s reminds me very much of BSF 55.

Hi Russ. As pointed out by mrto the HW50 was already in existence when Weihrauch took over BSF, the BSF 55 was morphed into the HW85 by Weihrauch, then into the HW95.

All the best Mick

Nice, very nice Tom

I thought that was the S70 Mick? As far as I know, the S70 also came with a Weihrauch barrel on the later transition model. A bit like BSA, waste not, want not?
How was it, Falke then BSF then swallowed by Weihrauch?
I have got to say that I love the HW85

The S60 is a nice piece too

AFAIK, the transitional BSF/HWs were all full-sized rifles.

Here’s an interesting one:

Here's a bit more on the Marksman 70 :-

The trigger reminds me of a HW Perfekt unit ?

Interesting. Not sure on the trigger.

Also interesting:

“Overall, the gun's light weight and size almost makes me think "Beeman R7"--except it's shooting .177 cal RWS Hobby pellets at 956 fps. That's R1 velocity territory in a much trimmer package.”

I’ve never seen an analysis by someone who understands springers better than me of why these BSFs (including especially the 55) make power so easily, especially compared to their usually bigger and heavier competitors. Some of which had been deliberately designed years later to compete in the 1970s/80s power wars.
