VWman 232 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 95 is cheaper than a , for 95 £300 about £360Hello villamanIs that send away prices, the air gun world book price is 334 for the hw95. I had a look in the local gun shop and they had a 350 tag on it, I asked them about price and they said where did I get my price from and just said it's the book price and they twisted a bit and then said they would match the price but I could tell that they were not really happy. I wonder how they would go on with a person that wanted a good price. From my local gun shop and he will do me a HW80k for £350 , the sportingmangus centre are doing the for under £300 and the 95k. http://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk/category/Guns/Weihrauch_1/p-42/ Thanks for the link villaman The prices are better than you said, I was wondering if the were Sportman Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 i have a 95 in .22 and has a noticable muzzle filp build quaity is fine and this totally standard out of the box accurate as would be expected but would still opt for the 98 as shrouded barrel tames the flip and the stock being adjustable helps with personal fit you wont go wrong with any though mate hard choice i know. Have you shouldered any of the rifles as weight sometimes feels different because of how the rifle fits and balances in your own shoulder Hello there Yes I have plinked and even managed to hit swinging targets with the hw99 and the hw95. I also used an into the mix which confirmed to me that I like the HW 95. The hw95k had a moderator as standard and it was very well balanced and I never noticed any flip !. Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have been looking around for info on the hw springers to work out what made them tick and why. There are test reviews but splitting the 99 and 95 was not clear, some said that they were the same so I then started to look at what was inside them and I found this info:- hw77/97 bore 26mm, stroke 81, swept volume 43.01 early models 25x81-39.76 hw95/98 26x81-45.13 hw80 30x80-56.55 -------Magnum esque hw35 30x65- ? hw99 26x71-37.7 Looking at that info my hw77 has a SV of 43.01 and the hw 95 has a SV of 45.13 so should the 95 have plenty of power to get the job done ?

VWman 232 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 sorry I made a typo and the HW95 should have said that the bore was 26mm and the stroke of 85mm giving it a swept volume of 45.13 which is better than a hw77 and hw 97. Is this correct ? as I am not an expert, I just got it off the net. Quote Link to post
