Hw99s

Jesus Skot, you'd think the HW80 was like trying to shoulder a bloody great field howitzer the way they bang on about the weight!

Can't be much heavier than a HW77K and they don't say thats too heavy to carry in the field

[pianoman 3,584]

I think the HW77 I have is quite noticeably heavier than my HW80 Elliott, just by handling them. Yet somehow the ' is always almost described as the heaviest thing on the planet!

Wonder how they would get on with a TX200....

Apologies, thought you could zoom in and read but i'll have to re do them to single pages rather than double spreads.

THANK YOU MILES!!!!!!!

 

HW80 is the the finest break-barrel of all. Gun porn in plain clothing!

 

Did you ever own and use one? I absolutely love them. I've had six over the last 25 years or more; but the .22 full-length HW80 I have now is the best of any I've ever known. I'll never trade her for anything!

 

Regards.

HW90. It's like an only better

[pianoman 3,584]

Nothing of the sort my dear Andrew. HW90. Like a Theoben Fenman; only better! :tongue2:

[andyfr1968 772]

Like a Fenman???? No, not really

 

The 90's really little more than a re-engineered to accept the gas ram system. Same sort of weight, size and feel. Same top notch trigger, only no twangs and vibes and no need to worry about leaving the thing cocked for too long. I love the 's, I really do, I've owned two and shot with many others and I'm really looking forward to setting up the action you gave me but the simple fact is that the 90's a better rifle. So ner-ner-na-ner-ner Not wishing to sound childish or anything

 

Edit to add..... Give me a ring, we need to go out and shoot some shit

I hear Theoben's patent ran out hence the influx of 'nitro pistons' and copies. I wonder how long Weihrauch will honour their arrangement, if indeed they still are.

[andyfr1968 772]

Theoben never actually made the rams, they were subbed out to a company called AWT who also make the rams for HW. Interesting point though, I hope they stay with a UK based company and not switch to the lowest bidder making second rate parts.....
