Martin Hinchliffe 8 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Just spotted the rewiew on the Walter lgu having never shouldered or even seen a Walter rifle does anyone own one and how do they stack up to the hw under leavers and the tx200 Have decided on underleaver syle as I think they would be slightly more accurate than break barrel also like the look of them particially thumbhole stock versions like the hw97k Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I hear they are good but we will have to wait and see if they stand the test of time for their reliability... Cant beat a hw97kt tho Oh and breakbarrels are just as accurate as underlevers... 6 Quote Link to post
Martin Hinchliffe 8 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I think its more a phsycological thing re break barrel vs underleaver as I have seen many break barrels that can put pellet on pellet but its the fact the barrel breaks in my brain that's just odd compared to the underleaver. Having said that I learnt on a break barrel when I was a kid old BSA lightning I think it was and when I had it sussed out it was lovely and accurate. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Same as Skot ,you will have a job to beat 97k imo . some may say different but they would be wrong :laugh: 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 97. BMW or Hyundai... Quote Link to post
risingfriend 1,042 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 HW97 hands down for me. Although to get the best out ofhem they benefit from a home fettle or full on tune. Apparently the lgu out of the box is spot on, trigger is also not as good but as stated they are new out so time will tell Quote Link to post
WhiteRabbit 112 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Going on reputation alone, I'd go with the HW but with any rifle, GO AND TRY THEM FOR YOURSELF! Only you will know what rifle is comfortable for you to use and every bit of wood is different so recoil patterns will not be the same for every rifle (assuming they're wooden stocked). Different stock lengths and weights too, you need to see what sits well with yourself too, considering you have health issues- I'd highly recommend this. White Quote Link to post
Noodles 4 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Shot at 20 meters with LGU .177 first ten shots at bull to get eye in then a 6 shot group to the left. 3 Quote Link to post

emilianoksa 11 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I've had all the guns you mention. Currently have an LGU. It's better out of the box than most HWs but is let down by its trigger. Don't get me wrong. The trigger is more than usable, but doesn't have the feel of the Rekord unit. The stock is superior to the Weihrauchs though, and it's a smooth shooter straight from the box. Mine is a keeper. In fact I was so impressed with it, I also bought an LGV. I'm very happy with that too. I still love Weihrauchs though, and will be getting another HW77k in the future as well as a 95 or 99. Another TX is also on my list. There's a lot of brand loyalty on airgun forums, and lots of people dismiss the Walther out of hand because it's a Umarex product. Me, I just love all good springers: Weihrauch, TX and Walther. Whatever you get you'll be happy with, although a new Weihrauch will probably need a strip and relube. . 3 Quote Link to post
Newlife2 55 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 So it has been 5 months since the LGU topic has been discussed , any new information to bring us up to speed. thanks Quote Link to post
Andycox81 6 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi all I have a walther lgu and to be honest straight out the box its magic !!! I have had pcp rifles and other underlevers weirauch and it really is as good and good value for money. Fairly heavy gun but keeps recoil too a minimum 2 Quote Link to post
Andycox81 6 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi there have a look in air gun shooter magazine March 2015 the best new springer rifle award goes too the lgu fact !!!! Only the test of time will be if it can rock the others but I have too say mine is great very accurate looks good apart from the locking mechanism on the cocking lever apart from that I would thumbs up. Which ever of the three you go for I don't think you can go wrong as I had them all ! . Quote Link to post
mole trapper 1,646 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Love my lgu! Don't think I've owned a 97 or 77 but can't be sure. The build quality of the lgu is phenomenal, it's heavy, it looks and feels gorgeous. Quote Link to post
Tron 173 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nice rifle, the only thing against it is the weight, 9.5 pound unscoped would be far too heavy for me to tote around having said that the HW 97 and the AA TX would be the same. Quote Link to post
