jonnie bravo 572 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Saw one of the lads at the range with one of those SFS hw95 tuned jobs (can't remember the name) lovely bit of kit any bit as good as my prosport 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,584 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 WIEHRAUCH HW80 or HW80K I can only go by what I own and have owned before. ABOLUTELY BRILLIANT RIFLE. What more can anyone possibly want from a .22 break-barrel rifle that can put a pellet on a pellet at 45 metres? Simon 1 Quote Link to post
rizla1 122 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hw80 best spring rifle about and as been for years 1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately new out of the box even your HW95 will need stripping, cleaning, getting rid of the swarf, the burrs removing, polishing, possibly attention paid to the spring, even polishing the sear on the usually excellent Rekord trigger. It is sad when what was a brilliant gun is being let down by penny pinching at the factory to squeeze even more profit per unit. Really is spoiling the ship for a hape'orth of tar.... But when they are sorted, they are superb! Edited May 15, 2015 by secretagentmole 2 Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Agree with mole 100% so if you can find a tuned one, or indeed have it tuned if you dont want to do it yourself, you will have the best break barrel rifle out there, if you are not watching the pennies too much, a Sandwell field sports tuned unit will be a superb bit of kit. 1 Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Is the Walther lgv as good as the hw out of the box. I need a rifle to use if I am putting my hw77 in for tuning because it looks like they take a long time. 2 Quote Link to post
bauble 15 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Yes VWman the LGV is just as good as HW80 out the box if not better. Edited May 15, 2015 by bauble Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yes VWman the LGV is just as good as HW80 out the box if not better. I would second this. The LGV is the best spring rifle I've shot. I didn't even own it, but my god it is something else, as I've said in a past post. I have to say though, without shooting standard springers and any "tuned" rifle, you won't appreciate how good it actually is out of the box as they say, as you don't have any to compare it too. It would bend an over @ new... The will live much longer though... Much much much longer. Highly recommended. Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hello and thanks for the feed back. It sounds to me like all the rifles respond well to a full tune and trigger job. Are there any top draw tuners in the north east ? I would like to get SFS to just sort me out but it's a long run from Redcar and he is a very busy man. If you were to just compare tuned rifles only then which would be the the best or on pare the top group, do some respond better to a hand build than others and how far can you go. Is there such a thing as a Rolls Royce break barrel springer ? Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I typed in what is the Rolls Royce of springer air rifles and it came up with Diana 54 airking ? Quote Link to post
