    In all seriousness just needs the knuckles freeing off and plenty of spit and polish in all the right places plus as they omitted the delrin insert on the 30 unlike the 99s a good choice would be to add some delrin to the cocking arm

    Must admit Neil, I do have a soft spot for the 98

    Strangely many a previous Herman springer that twanged like a banjo actually shot rather really nice

    Maybe the twang just adds character

    I’m a big fan of Weihrauch’s had a 97K for over a decade now. Had it tuned about 5 years ago which improved accuracy a tad and damped the twanging.

    I’ve had HW35’s as a lad, 77’s, but the 97k is a solid stalwart for me and as you say the cream of the crop.

    Take all the shit off and just focus on the barrel and action.

    This is not typical.

    Mine is rock solid.

    As I say, try and see if another hw100 user is willong to switch amd assess if the problem moves with the barrel or stays with the action

    I decided to buy a tuned XS20 once and it came in a CS700 stock, I thought it was great until I compared it to a Vmach kitted 95, the quality difference was considerable, even though the 20 had the HW trigger blade conversion and other HW bits fitted as well.

    Just pulling your leg.

    If I dont like HWs, how about one of those fancy new Cometas in a laminate stock, more your cup of tea??

    It’s more a love/hate thing with wineracks Deano.

    I can’t dismiss Weihrauchs are super bits of kit it’s just I’m very hard to please

    If I had the perfect rifle hand built for me I’d still find something I don’t like about it

    Cometas have always been my dark horse I really like them but I wouldn’t buy anything new

    Well unless Sheila and Claire give me some good news
