zini 1,939 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi there lads, In this episode of VHTV I and Davy restore an old and abused 1995 model Weihrauch HW80 back to its former shooting glory in the hope of using it as a vermin shooting rifle later on. Watch to see how this poor run down rifle was turned into a swan in Rags to Riches. Please enjoy. Si & Davy. Mick (Moxy) the reason I've stuck it in this section mate is that there is some hunting footage at the end of the episode buddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_skf396Bdp0 2 Quote Link to post

Elliott 436 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Great video lads, well done to you both on the refurb, it looks like your hard work has paid off. It's nice to have a little project on the go isn't it, I'd love to have a go at tinkering with an old HW80, I bet its an enjoyable process. You were fairly whacking those crows too, sounded like it was hitting like a sledgehammer Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Nice work lads looks great! nice shooting on the birds aswell How come you went for the hawke sport hd though instead of a panorama? does the difference in price show in the quality of the overall finish of the scope??
