    At legal limit it probably shoots .177 the best.

    How do they stand up accuracy wise against the other Weihrauchs?

    Hw80

    Ok maybe not in the same class as it fixed barrel siblings but still up there. It won it's fair share of competitions back in the early 80s. I've owned over 100 in 40 years. Yes I like them. Mach 1.5

    Excellent, and more accurate than just about 100% of the people that shoot them as the weak link is the shooter, just make the gun fit you with an adjustable butt pad and ideally an adjustable cheek piece as well although getting the right size scope mounts will sort of sort that out. Add a set back trigger for extra luxury and bingo, unless you already have fingers like extra terrestrial of course, in which course...you won’t need the set back trigger...

    Hi there, would you say the changes made are good/bad/indifferent, also would you agree with some people who say the modern weihrauchs are not as well made as the they were, just a few general question for all the Weihrauch lovers out there...

    I've got one with a .25 carbine barrel and it shoots really nicely. It is very quiet with a small silencer.
