The HW99S is a superb little rifle. Bought one for my son to learn to shoot, and its become my favourite gun. Light, handles beautifully, and extremely accurate. Its just a lovely thing!
I agree with your comments regarding both the HW99S and FTT pellets, my wife and I both shoot our only Rifle and while not getting the same results that is probably due to us both being in our 70's. I am very glad I bought the 99S rather than the 95 as I saved some money and have stocked up on the FTT's.
I know the majority of air rifle users are likely to fit a telescopic sight but it would have been interesting to see what is achievable using the open sights - also no one ever seems to mention in reviews that the Weihrauch rear sight has a choice of 4 notch profiles
Great review,I think your next spring rifle review should be the HW30k 👍
We have never met before, you delivered my new rifle, super friendly, like I have said before this is how a company should be.
PS Thank you very much
its always a pleasure to watch your reviews and i will be buying from you for my christmas present to myself🙂
was a pleasure chatting on the door step and thank you for bringing the gun to my door excellent service 👍
Great service door to door super friendly.
I like your work. Air gun shops are not a thing in the United States. Budget air guns are for sale through big retailers. The local retail gun shops can’t compete at the budget end and historically the higher quality air guns have very limited demand. End result I have to purchase air guns and quality ammo via mail order/ internet. For good information about air guns I depend on channels like yours. Keep up the good work.
By the way, keep hold of that barrel when you load 😊.
It is on my shortlist, very interesting.
Thanks for this. I have one already - my first rifle and I've been very pleased. I've been using JSB Exact but will try the same as you after your recommendation.
My Hawke x9 scope isn't really good enough but i see you have managed to squeeze on a more powerful one. I think I'll investigate more!
You definitely should do more springer rifles, not everyone has the means to buy (and kit out) a PCP
Or in my case, I just don’t want a PCP.
Keep hold of the barrel when loading the rifle!!
Would love to see the new style hw80k in 177cal guys!!
Springers are a different animal to a PCP , they respond best to being cradled lightly with the off hand , even resting the stock on a bag can still give a small degree of bounce , also follow through with a springer is vital for best accuracy . Both the above are useful tips for shooting a springer accurately , but virtually essential are Safety Protocols ! I cringed every time You loaded a pellet , the barrel of a break barrel springer/gas ram Must Always be held firmly whilst a pellet is seated , even the best quality machines fail on occasion , even Weihrauch are not infallible, underlever rifles should have the underlever held whilst a pellet is loaded into the breach , damaged guns are the least of the problem , bent barrels can be replaced , dismembered fingers won't grow back , surgeons can't always stich them back due to the nature of the crushing injuries to said digits . Please don't revue another spring/gas ram gun until You have mastered this technique , I'd hate to see such keen enthusiasts injured or put of shooting due to a preventable accident .
Better grouping than you got with the FX DRS 😂👌
Beautiful gun
Beautiful shooting
Simple as, I've got an Hw 50 similar gun but I've removed the safety catch just to complete the old school feel and can't see any valid reason why anyone would want any more in a spring gun.
looks like the scope mounts have moved back and the rear mount is now overhanging the cylinder.
Surprised that for people doing a review they haven’t noticed this.
Can you do a kral puncher jumbo next :)
From an owner, this is truly a good rifle. However, personally I wouldn’t use a moderator as a cocking aid. Especially the Weihrauch slip on model for this rifle which enables you to still shoot with the open sights.
Agreed. I'm confident using a threaded on HW moderator eg on the HW95k as a cocking aid but wouldn't recommend doing so with a slip on version or slip on threaded adaptor, won't be a good time if it comes off while trying to cock the gun.
Eitch is the most powerful 177 4.5mm spring air rifle ? Fps
All three ive tried have been either 9ft lbs or 13ft lbs.
And do you Know what the fps is?
I have 99s nice bit of kit,only thing I find is that my shots are a bit all over the shop,I am using ftt .22 the distance that I shoot is 30 metres. My hw80 k shoots better the shots are the size of a 20p.the 99s is a lot bigger double a £2.00 coin.
That’s not a bad group really
what do they cost ?
Don’t think I’d use the moderator to load the gun
You are not used to firing springers as you are not observing the safety procedure of holding on to the barrel when loading the pellet.
Cannot believe you are broadcasting such an abuse of basic safety rules?
Perhaps a few missing fingers might correct this?
Also a bent barrel! It has happened! Fraser
@michealisaac3245 probably due to the fact the Weirauch has an automatic safety?
I think an easy work around for this issue is to break the barrel open slightly, enough that you can load a pellet, then to break the action and close it in one motion. In doing so you avoid the issue of not having the barrel held whilst putting a pellet in, as the pellet is already in, and you get to avoid the issue of having not held the barrel whilst loading a pellet (which seems a silly way of going about it when you can do as I suggest, it's just more awkward)
Why is the HW99s cheaper than the other Weihrauch Models? It seems to be the same quality, same accuracy and have the same features as the more expensive models?
I've wondered the same thing, perhaps the materials and manufacture of this design cost a little less as the 99 is smaller than the 80 and the 95, perhaps they've produced larger numbers of the 99 to be able to price it competitively. Given the quality and performance it's excellent value and is medium size so not overly heavy and conveniently it wants to produce ~11ftlb so just about right for the UK. Minor downsides are the cocking effort seems relatively high and it's fairly loud, but over all it's so good I'm thinking I should have bought two before prices went up.
@@Beesa10i did 😅
Ive shot the full range and the 97/77 is slightly better than the rest but apart frm that they're all basically the same so why spend more than you have to.
@@xWILZTAx Yes, the 77&97 stand apart from the break barrel models with that robust, tried and tested fixed barrel design. Inherently accurate and much loved, proven in HFT but also tbh not ideal to carry around in the field. I love the sound of loading my HW77k.
@@xWILZTAx Very interesting, I may have to get myself an HW99S in .22 then! Thanks
It doesn't have any more or any less features than any of the other springers in their range !
Booo PCP's are boring!
No, they're not they're fantastic, but for me, I can't beat the organic feeling a springer gives you. They just have so much feedback. They're great.
No, they are very boring.
Congratulations Laurence your a better shot than your da 🤣🤣🤣
Ultimate non review! Complete waste of time.
