HW/Weihrauch You be the judge

[crowski]

Looked like rain, easy, gun day. 4 - 97’s, one of each cal. Here’s the clan. A little mix.

HW98k lam. .177.

HW97k lam. Stainless .20

HW97k .22 my first of 6

HW97kt .25
First I scoped the four to 30 yds. Distance of the target. New target. 10 shots each. First two rows, total 80 shots consecutive, switching guns after 20 rounds. After supper I shot last row 10 each.

I fed the.22 JSB’s 15.89, it’s about my only gun that doesn’t like them. Not fair comparison. Unfortunately I was stubborn and wouldn’t switch.
I’m not a great shooter. A few members do better with Diopter’s, all in good fun.
All are factory except the .20 has a Vortek spring in it. It’s sound is in a league of its own. The other three had a twang.
The 25 was solid, I pulled 3 on first target. The .177 did a solid performance. Handling the .177 round is my biggest beef.
I liked the .20 and the .25.
Some of you guys are wicked shooters with awesome guns. Let’s see your 97’s and your performance with it.

Those rifles are amazing! but that range shows me how truly blessed you are

 

[Lewis]

Awesome! I use the same targets and trap at home. Great setup.
Love all the guns but the silver and blue is a beautiful combination.

Nice, Crow. Nothing wrong with that, good shooting. Here’s one from a couple days ago Kim and I playing around at 25 yards. Upper right target contains 6 shots. 5 are from the HW97K long barrel that I got from @Lewis. Upper right shot in that target is actually a sighter from the .22 Logun Mark II Pro. Came back later and filled it in with the HW97K. Tremendous gun, thanks Lewis! Center bulls are same size as a dime. The rat target is 6 from the Logun. Neat gun, but not a springer.

Wow, wow, wow! Those are gorgeous. Would like to see the .22 groups with pellets it likes. I have to make time to shoot mine. One day my me-projects and honey-do's will slow down so I can get to my spring guns. Just living vicariously through you for now, lol. Thanks for posting!

@crowski - Nice shooting, try a soft cotton cloth on the front bag. Have you tried the H&N FTT .22 553's? Great pellet.

Happy to rehome that .20, me ...

Thanks. The range is never finished. 1 1/2 yrs ago it was a dump site. Crow

Thanks. Have 3 traps at different distances. The biue and silver is easy on the eyes. Crow

Thanks. That’s what I was trying to do.
HW97k long, wouldn’t it just be a HW97?

Thanks Chris. I’ve held the .22 to shoot today with different round.

Thanks. I’ve seen lot of similar setups with less friction. I’ll try, needed a wake up call.
I thought the JSB’s were the one. Jumped on the band wagon.

I have a few H&N’s .177. Will get some .22 cal. Crow

Happy to rehome that .20, me ...

There’s a lineup. Crow

nice , i'm jealous , want a 97 long , lefty ,walnut as long as i am wishing !

I hope you get one.
I’m after a HW77 .20. There’s a HW90 .22 I keep talking myself out of. Crow

So does Lewis LOL. To my knowledge they don’t make it in lefty, much less walnut. It is an ambi stock and easy to load from either side.


“Thanks. That’s what I was trying to do.

Crow”

Thats a question for HW. Their terminology, not mine. Had a laugh about it when I first got it. See below.

Interesting. Somebody messed up. Doesn’t make sense, but their gun, they can call it what they want. Crow
Still a beauty.

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Good shooting rifles. But nothing if not in the hands of a good shooter to. You did good crow. Thank you for the nudge.

 

[beerthief]

I just bought a HW77 long in ambi stock ,just looked . but i can switch my Custom UK stock from my 97K . It is the same cut internally in the stock .
or i can use the synthetic original 97 stock on the 77 .

 

[crowski]

@crowski - Nice shooting, try a soft cotton cloth on the front bag. Have you tried the H&N FTT .22 553's? Great pellet.

I think you right. Didn’t have any H&N in .22 cal. but did in .177. Thanks Crow

Thanks and you’re welcome. Crow

Don’t know, never tried. I would suspect them to fit one another. I hope they do. Crow

 

[crowski]

I brought 2 more 97’s into compare.

A HW97kt .177.

HW97k Blackline stainless .22
I did try a AA round in the 97k with bad results. I’ll get some H&N’s to try.

Again 10 shots. The H&N’s were impressive.
‘Found some 13 and 14 grain lead. Try tomorrow. Crow

[Hateful McNasty]

Ol' hw's aint bad.. cock, load ,shoot, repeat , and hits what you aim at..

Definitely got .177 down right. Imho o do think the .22's from Germany run finicky in the bores/leades vs .177

Never had a .20 so .... Idk

Anyway looking good guys
