Favourate Rifle

[jonnie bravo 572]

I love all my rifles but, my Weihrauch HW77 .22 is just a genuine treasure, PCP-level accuracy, consistent power, smooth and slick to cock, load and trigger fine-set light and virtually recoiless. It is match-accurate with H&N FTT 5.53mm headsize pellets. I zero it at 35 metres and it puts pellet on top of pellet all day long. It has won competition prizes and claimed thousands of vermin over the years for me

 

What's more, for all you tuners and customizers.....It's ALL totally original Weihrach inside.

 

And nothing else. No Tony Wall tuning gubbins or anyone elses. Just standard HW parts and spring, properly cut and everything else polished, honed and fettled to absolute perfection.

 

It sits in a factory standard HW97K Bavarian sporter stock with tartan chequering (right-handed at that!) and a 15 year-old Bushnell Scopechief 4-14x50mm AO scope. And it shoots and handles like heaven.

 

I hope your rifle, whatever it may be, is as good too!

If you don't mind me asking Simon, does it have a tophat fitted?

[pianoman 3,584]

There isn't a top hat on this HW77 jonnie. An HW factory standard nylon spring guide and 'parachute flare' type piston seal.

 

It was already a beautifully built HW77 from the factory before it received the TLC it took to make it a really outstandingly special rifle.

 

Thanks for asking mate, I have a sneaky feeling you are tempted to buy one for yourself. DO IT! You'll be glad you did. I have yet to hear from anyone that genuinely regretted buying one.

Best regards.

Well I wouldn't say no to one!

 

To be honest I was more interested as my 99 doesn't come fitted with one either, but research points towards getting A LOT of improvement by fitting a tophat. So it's great to hear of a gun that is working superbly without one!

 

I'm learning a lot at the mo from the 99 and loving it. It's worlds apart from the PS, which is great. I think something like a 77 will be on the cards when the PS get's boring

In truth if this Wolverine is all it's cracked up to be, a supergun like this deserves something special to sight it with. A SCHMIDT & BENDER or ZIESS 3-9X50 AO is of the quality I'd be looking at. If you think it's a very expensive scope-option, then, think of adding-up ALL the cheaper scopes you will never need to buy again.

 

 

Edit to add.

 

That said, I cannot fault the little HAWKE PANORAMA 4-12X40 EV IR scope I have on my Daystate Regal .177 rifle at the moment. Keeps me going till it's too dark to see anyway. £!20 quid I think I paid for it, too!
