hw 90 gas ram pros cons ?

[tinbum]

I've had a few and they were ok, it's just that for me they didn't do anything an HW80 couldn't do as well or better.

Having said that, if a TB version came along in .22 I would grab it!

Your just miffed because you can't sell a guide kit for one which is what an 80 needs to get it near as good

Oddly we have made and sold spring conversion kits for these. If I got another it would stay a rammer

The 80 is a great airgun but needs extensive tuning before it shoots as smooth as the 90, i remember years back when theoben came up with a gasram conversion kit for the HW80 and charged a fortune for it, looking back you have to think what was the point when you could just buy the HW90😂😂

I had a Theoben Country man then I discovered a HW90TB. The theoben was sold a week after the HW90TB arrived. Mach 1.5

I have a few theoben rammers and one is the hw90tb. Trigger is way better than the theoben units.

thanks for the imput looks like there has been some good and not to good experiences with the gas ram 90 , would take it the TB is the older version was a bit better than the new looking at the time line some mention and not the air filled hw one , well after some vids and other hw product reviews , looks like i will go for the hw95 k so thanks for the advice and the views of the pros and cons , always better to ask opinions before purchase thanks bear

The TB was the Theoben-offered (TB, see) special with a walnut custom stock, carbine barrel and TB silencer.

There was also a similar but different “Euro Custom”, which I think was again a Theoben-supplied model.

I once knew the differences between the two, but have forgotten. Anyway, they are definitely nicer than the standard HW90, and quite rare.

The euro custom have a high grade walnut stock which is either right or lefthanded. The Tb like i have has a ambidextrous stock. The euro custom stock is beautiful.

Thanks. I think they also may differ slightly (beyond LH/RH vs ambi) in perhaps the profile of the fore-end, and/or the chequering? But I may be hallucinating that.

Anyway, they are both rare and rather lovely.

I have an hw90 in 0. 22 it is a very well made, rather heavy with excellent reliability, consistency and accuracy. Firing cycle is fast, trigger is very good.
It is tuned from the factory so to speak because the internals are all highly polished and the seals keep the running parts apart, so there is hardly any metal to metal contact in the critical areas.

well all sorted , got a hw 80 thanks for the imput bear
