Id advertise it for more, very rarely come up. Try it at £350 and see how you go.

200 to 250 would be my guess anymore would be off putting
Very nice though looking at the pictures
I agree with maximus above 300-350 due to scarcity.
tom24,
They are lovely little rifles
Back in the late '70s I had a 0.177" Wischo S55 (BSF S60 ?) - truly a pocket rocket for the time ( a bit let down by the trigger which was a bit on the heavy side, and required a bit of handwork to get it smooth & crisp ).
It made a genuine 10 ft.lb.
I always have a feeling that they set the die for the HW99S ( as HW took over BSF ) ?
Have fun
Best regards
Russ
The 99S is the most recent iteration of the HW50 which was introduced in the early 1950's predating the BSF B55 by a couple of decades,and reported to be Herman Weihrauch's favourite production model.If anything BSF would have been influenced by HW rather than the other way around.
sage words as ever
any thanks everyone for the input

Hello to All,

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:
