RE: One of "Your" air rifles..
The hw30 is a cracking little rifle .Ive been a fan of weihrauchs for over 20 years now.I currently own a .177 hw99s .I made a delrin Spring guide and top hat.made a barrel sleeve for it and gave the cocking slot and piston a polish.It can keep up with the pcp crowd on my local 25 yard range if I do my bit and is very smooth at just over 10 ft lbs.
I've also recently acquired an air arms T200 mk2 with the 10 shot magazine conversion.
It only gives around 40 good shots in its sweet spot.My problem with it is it's so accurate it's actually boring to shoot.It would be a fantastic rifle for hunting or field target,but for the 25 yard range it's pellet on pellet and takes very little skill to do that.Its whisper quiet though and for a budget air arms I have no issues with the quality,though it's made by CZ so l would expect a good standard of build.
I think at heart I'm a springer fan though and will probably pass the air arms on in a few months .For backyard plinking I can't think of a better rifle than the HW30.
