Maybe some of the other rifles should be looked at and even bought to compare with the HW30S/R7!Originally Posted by TonyL
I wonder how many threads on light to medium weight rifles attract as many views / replies as HW30 ones?
One competitor is the Diana 240 Classic which looks really good. I wonder if its trigger is as nice, and how much it costs if you ship it in from Continental Europe?
Another is the Slavia series, which are also cheap and of good quality, although perhaps not as well finished as the Weihrauch.
There are others, perhaps AGW could do a 'lightweight' springer comparison article?
The use of the rifle is the key; bigger rifles are needed with full power for vermin shooting or at least 10.5 fpe for competitions, heavy ones for the arduous world of 10m or 6 yard competition. If you want to just enjoy shooting groups at whatever range for the fun of it, plink at Polo mints or tic-tacs or tin cans, then you don't need a big rifle. Hence the HW30S with its excellent trigger fits the bill. But maybe a Diana 240 or Slavia 630 would be just as good...
