    Weihrauch HW100 KT

    Hi all.

    This is my first time reviewing something so please bear with me on this.....

    Ok I bought my HW100 KT 22 (Carbine Thumbhole) a few months back and have plinked with it and taking it out a few times using it for pest control.

    I held and tried a few various air rifles such as a few break barrel air rifles, the Air Arms TDR etc.

    My initial thoughts when shopping around for an air rifle was that I wanted something of extremely good build quality, looks great, feels amazing to hold, to reload, and gives me the confidence when going out doing pest control to know that the tool I'm holding will be able to do the job right.

    I ended up deciding on the TDR originally as I liked the idea of it packing down into a box but I did have a few issues with it before making a decision......It didn't look that nice, it was really tough to cock with the bolt that's on it, it wasn't quiet when you reloaded, I knew it was going to be time consuming to reload if I missed a rabbit whilst out on the farm and that didn't give me much confidence but it was cheaper than the HW100 KT.

    I ended up ordering an Air Arms TDR.....I waited....and waited....and waited constantly being told that it would only be a few more weeks and in the end my local gun dealer rang them and Air Arms finally told him that it would be around 2-3 months yet before they have any made as they have been selling fast. I hear amazing things about Air Arms don't get me wrong they make amazing air rifles and have great customer service but I went with superstition and accepted that it wasn't meant to be.

    For an extra £150-£200 I could get the air rifle that I felt most comfortable with, that gave me that great feeling, that gave me the confidence and in the end I bought the Weihrauch HW100 KT 22 and to this day I don't regret it a single bit. It looks absolutely amazing, feels amazing, extremely easy to cock the lever which is as smooth as anything, you can't accidently double-load, it's quiet when cocking the lever, everyone that I've shown says it looks really nice, it's so silent with the moderator on it, it's EXTREMELY accurate especially with H&N Field Target Trophy pellets which apprently the HW100's are tested with in the factory so that makes sense why those pellets work so well.

    I took my HW100 KT 22 out a few times on the farm when I first bought it and managed to come back with a few dinners which was great. From day one she has been looked after so well, so well in fact that my other half on occasion has gotten jealous that I have spent more time looking after my air rifle than I have her, haha!

    It's advised that you don't try to shoot anything more than 40-45 yards with an air rifle....I'll be honest, with the HW100 KT 22 I'm pretty certain I was near that limit and succeeded in getting four rabbits that night all around the same distances.

    Anyway that's my review of the HW100 KT 22.

    All I will say is if you're going to spend a reasonable amount of money on a quality air rifle then save up a bit extra and get a HW100. It's so true that you get what you pay for and the HW100 won't let you down a single bit.
