Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with getting decent scope mounts for my Weihrauch HW80. The first set were the wrong kind but the second lot I got just came off after 20-30 shots. They were proper Hawke sports mounts 9-11mm dovetail but had only one screw to tighten onto the rail and no anti-recoil pin.

I find them quick and easy to use without much faffing around. I've always had the (perhaps wrong) idea that scopes are slower and a bit of a pain to set up and overkill for just plinking. I definitely could be wrong though. The 95 is a very good rifle, I know that but taking everybody's su

Hello, I've recently become interested in buying a new air rifle (springer). I currently have a Weihrauch HW25 L but feel like moving up somewhat in the power stakes. I've spent a while researching (by the way I definitely want a Weihrauch) but am a bit confused by all the options, models and prices flying around. I will generally use the rifle for plinking and a bit of pest control (mainly crows) and have decided upon a .22 cal. I do prefer break-barrel but could probably be talked into an under-lever, my budget could possibly stretch to £300. The rifle must have open sights and a ra
