gurtwurz 793 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 The tuned version's a different animal altogether lewis mate, much smoother, less recoil and a bit quieter (although mine is unsilenced cos it s one of the old long ones and I find its much better balanced without a mod). BUT-tuning's not something that you need to rush out and do immediately, theyre a great gun to start with so you should find it groups well as is mate. But definitely worth considering when you find that youre shooting to the full potential of the untuned rifle. And yep, I'm very well thanks mate :-) Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,589 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Beautiful rifle the HW80. Mine is never going to be sold, ever! This one was built when Weihrauch didn't have the production issues we've seen in recent years. If it's sweet-shooting and handling Lewis, leave it be. These do not need tuning mate, they are magnificent as they come. Try H&N FTT with it, HW80s love those! Best wishes for your new rifle. Simon. Quote Link to post

It is a real nice rifle only had one proper go so far finishing of the tin of h&n ftts I had. I bought some more and some more grease to strip clean and regrease but haven't had any time and to do anything. I was suppost to be out yesterday with a mate but the weather put a hold on that. Plus starting a new trial for a job this week it might be put on hold again. Atb, Lewis Quote Link to post
