You can open a can of worms with a bold statement such as this; there are those on here who would disagree with you!

I think Weihrauchs are nice, nice HW 30!

[rabbitwrecker]

Love them to bits...

They might not make crap but they are perfectly capable of disappointing, and this has been true since they started I think. I have found quality control issues with Weihrauchs from all generations from the early 1970s onwards. However, they do make sturdy designs from good quality materials, so if the customer has to provide the finishing work then at least they are excellent from there on in.

I have had five (5) HW30 rifles, two HW30II, two HW30S and one early HW30 (leather washer long stroke). ALL OF THEM, with the exception of the early one, NEEDED ATTENTION to the tip of the cocking lever and the cocking slot, and sometimes the cocking levers. They need dressing with files and emery paper to make them 'good'. This degree of dressing is generally not needed on the bigger Weihrauchs like the 35, 85, 95 and 77/97, but might be needed on the HW99/50.

Who knows why?

I have put the German spec spring back in mine, it's now shooting at 5.5 with 8.2 grain R10 match pellets and at 25 yards it puts the pellets on the cross hairs every shot....... As long as there's no wind.

They are cracking little rifles in .177". Got one and love the trigger and the way they shoot. Germanic style stock works well with the open sghts which are my choice for fun work. Reminds me a lot of an old HW50 I had, way back when.

I've just "discovered" Weihrauch rifles and my first one was a .22 HW30S bought on a whim late last year. It's quickly become the first rifle I reach for when I go for a quick plink in the garden. It's just such an easy rifle to shoot accurately. In fact, it's so accurate, I'm not bothered at all that it only seems to do about 7 ft/lb. Soon after that I got an old, 1980s vintage HW30 in .177, then a .22 HW50, and just got a 99s in .177 from a chap advertising on here. I never much cared for the larger HWs, such as the 35, 80, and even the 77; but having said that, I'm now looking for a 55 with aperture sights. I think, once I get that I'll call my Weirauch collection done.

Don't you be letting Pete see this, Harry!

No, why should you. Way to much talk about power, it's airguns for xxx sake.

Deluxe?

They leave the breech block showing and put some chequering on the stock.
