Weihrauch 77K - equivalent break barrel of the time?

[felix gunner]

Hi chaps, just getting back into things and forgotten too much! I have owned a (MK II IIRC) 77k for many years - what was the nearest model in the range in terms of size etc but in a break barrel?

[look no hands]

HW80 I'd say.

I would have to agree, the HW80 was the equivalent at the time. Since then lighter versions have been introduced such as the HW95 and HW99 to meet demand. Then there is the HW35 that was and still is around.

Thanks - was it just one length model then?

No just long and longer.

Took them years to make a proper 12inch karbine.

HW80K or HW85K. Mach 1.5

Good job we didn't mention the HW35 with its 2 counties extra long barrel

I would have thought the HW85 was the equivalent break barrel of the time. Smaller bore than the HW80

Yep, I'd say HW80 in terms of size, weight, "premium" standing in the range and the 85 for more comparable internals.

Hang on Tone, we actually agreed on something for once

Can't wait until you start feeling the love for the 35, Pete.

What the Diana/Original 35? Still not the best looking rifle

[TonyL]

That'll do for now whilst building up to the one we know you really want, Pete.

What that fancy Diana 34 I've longed after.
