    Just my opinion others will be along to put me right. Mach 1.5

    I can't really argue with that, no doubt someone else will

    All very good mate but question os what's best for you and only you can answer.

    There is no best really as all reliable, accurate and pleasure to own but all have their unique characteristics.

    You really need try some and decide on what suits your build, needs (what u want gun for) weight, size, shot cycle etc etc.

    Mmmm....here's another typically Zeb comment, but it really boils down to which one suits YOU the best as regards size, weight, balance, ease of use etc. I'd stand by any of the above (except Pete's input of garble! and the PCP) plus the 95 and the classic 35.

    Edit.....Sorry....Plus the HW30S if higher power isn't a necessity.

    For targets you won’t be carrying for miles so weight is an advantage, forward weight even more so.
    I would place the HW77/97 above the HW95/98 due to the screw in back block and lower swept volume more suited to sub 12 ft-lb

    Absolutely, Petey Boy.....but when the OP asks, "which Weihrauch is best......"

    Don't worry Tone, one day in the not to distance future, a pro sport will by the Hans Hw turn into a Hw35 and the balance will be readdressed, Look no hands well not by mine anyways

    How can you compare the beauty of the Prosport up against the ugliness of the HW35.
    Have you noticed that HW35 is never the answer?

    For a more refined target only the old HW55 will do the job very nicely.

    One of my regular fun days shooting was sat on a wooded hill

    shooting pine cones off a downed tree stump that I placed at about 40 ish yards.

    I did this once with my rapid and ran out of air!

    But another time I did it with my Vmach HW97k and ran out of pellets!

    Hw 77/97 is the Best and Hw35 second Best 12 f/lb springer because of their design!

    The HW35 breech catch and the short and wide compression chamber make
    it the least worthwhile HW in my book.

    It’s an old design bettered by all the later models.

    My early 77 is the one I most regret selling.
    The '80's HW35 .22 is a pleasure to shoot, nearly as good as the aforementioned 77.
    The .177 2013 HW35, bought new, is not nice, even after being returned to HW for a rework. One day it's a tack driver, the next a shotgun.
