RE: One of "Your" air rifles..
The HW80
Is my favourite weirauch . I’ve owned four of them over the years . Every time I’ve sold one I regretted it and bought another . They’re a heavy beast and really only perform at their best in fac . They’re strangled at 12ft lbs. If I ever find a mint mk1 for a good price I’ll snap it up though . Far better built than the current ones . I’m not a fan of the splined barrel and star nut of the new break barrels . For our legal limit though I do rate the 99s. The 80 with a pinned barrel is the finest mass produced break barrel ever made . If I ever go down the fac route for air rifles I’d pick an hw80 in .22,Or a Diana 52 . Now they really do perform well but weigh an absolute ton .
