zini 1,939 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi there Jarrod, I'm sure that you meant to put that you were talking about shooting when in school lessons and not shooting the rifle in your school Anyway, The Weihrauch HW80 rifle is a brilliant spring piston rifle and was widely used and the firm favourite along with the HW77 rifle years ago as the number 1 hunting rifles in the UK. Even today a HW80 springer takes some beating and is defo up there with the 7 or 8 best spring piston rifles currently available. If the rifle is in good working order and still under the UK 12ft/lb legal limit it will be a defo upgrade from your SMK rifle mate. Regards Si Quote Link to post
