I do talk to my rifle when I'm pulling off great shots with it or, when I miss, it's like "Aww come on, we are so much bloody better than this!" Cheers mate Simon Quote Link to post

Karpman 44 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 J.r Hartley with a touch of Crabtree I rekon. By far the most enjoyable read I have had on a Forum in a long time, Would honestly love to read more stories and would be first inline for a book. Very well written indeed. Had to read it again! And let the father in law have a gander who is off to the gun shop tomz. after a springer. Many thanks Karpman Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Does your rifle not speak to you, Simon???? Mine does........ It tells me good things.......... Never bad.......... I know the voices are real 'cos they tell me so........ Always good things, never bad. Never BAD. NEVER BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers............. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,589 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The 77 is the daddy You are absolutely right JD I really believe the HW77 is truly the daddy of em all. When Weihrauch wanted to introduce a new underlever into their range, they just took the HW77 metalwork and internals and redefined them with a shortened barrel, redesigned the underlever latch-up with a silencer and gave it a new stock and called it the HW97. It's still the HW77 in another suit. Simon Quote Link to post
