Hw80 K .177

[shropshire dan 467]

Hi all just about to receive a new HW80 K in .177 calibre. It's been fitted with a Welsh willy tune kit. What can I expect from an air rifle like this?

 

I've never owned a Weihrauch of any sort. I've previously owned a few Tx 200 air rifles and liked them. just fancied a change and gone for a break barrel.

 

Kind regards

Dan

Expect a nice gun ! Welsh willy kits make a huge difference : lethe us know how you get on with it.

As above. Let us know... Not really a big fan of 177 HW's, just me, and hearing more about an eighty in 177 will be sweet to know.

 

I'm still surprised that the HW80 is available in 177... For obvious reasons.

 

Keep us informed.

Thanks Lads. I was planning on trying it out and if necessary put it onto my ticket as an FAC air rifle but not sure yet. I'VE heard they run a lot nicer at FAC power levels

i had a kit in from welsh willy,on a 97,which i sold to viz then big mac owned it could not fault it

[shropshire dan 467]

Fair enough. It's not been run in yet obviously as it's new so hoping to get it run in and then on the Chronograph

I will be interested to see how you get on with it Dan, you are correct the was never really designed for the 12ftlb limit, and they do run superbly at fac levels, but the WW kit should go some way to addressing the vibration and recoil, maybe some additional polishing and a TBT short stroke kit if you find it too much mate.

Thanks CC. I think I'll see how it is after running it in with 300 pellets or more than then if I don't like the way she shoots possibly put it on my fac and have her professionally tuned upto around 18 ftlb.

 

Thanks again

I've just won yes won a hw80k in ,177 but its a earlier model.

Since I was little lad at 12 and wanted a proper hunting gun ,there was only so much you could do with a ASI sniper lol my 13th b'day got a my first HW it was an hw80 .22 with the square for stock and tbo there probably isn't a better springer make air rifle ever,don't know what or why but over the year's having owned different makes nothing has ever came close to hw variety and for pellet choice .177 or .22 it has to be RWS superdome

Ps I won it on a bonus ball card £10 a number from a lad off here lucky fuc##r or what

Would these pellets described on this thread be also the best for an in .22 as i seem to be getting a few flyers useing Bisley magnums.

I have always stuck with Superdomes or Superfields (if others out of stock) on my Hw35. I expect the reifling will be the same.

[shropshire dan 467]

Cheers lads. I've got some super domes lying round here somewhere
