mattwhite 1,992 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 After a right bloody hailstorm this morning i donned me boots and jacket and had a wander in the sun on a nice little paddock perm with the 99. Loads of bunnies about but very skittish today for some reason. 1st one popped out of the brambles at 45 yards and i clean missed him coz i completely forgot windage. 2nd appeared about 15 minutes later at 33 yards so bang on zero and over he went. 3rd was across the paddock at 47 yards so at 9x zoom, a gnats whisker over 1 mildot with a slight correction for windage and over he went too. This 99 hasnt missed a beat yet, its just me whos the dopey bugger and forgets the windage 11 1 Quote Link to post

mattwhite 1,992 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I cant fault it Mitch. Ok, they arent as pleasing to the eye as a PS but im confident it will drop a rabbit etc at just the same ranges, even with it being lighter weight. 1 Quote Link to post

mole trapper 1,646 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 You have to love the 99,s! Yes I know there is the gauling issue, but other than that.... Here's my two, one in each flavour. The one in the cs stock is just waiting to have the foresight ramps taken down, and then the beautiful slimtech style reflex barrel weight made by one of my very talented mates, can go on. This will I hope you agree make a great looking handy rifle. 4 Quote Link to post

Youd think weihrauch would address this problem by now pal as so many people know about it Quote Link to post

Aesthetics are just that, in honesty most of us like nice things (in our perception), but frankly, making a rifle look nice has little or nothing to do with it's performance, and performance it the ONLY really important measure of a good rifle. Looks good though! Edited January 23, 2019 by Deker 1 Quote Link to post
