I ordered these guns on Monday from Krale in the Netherlands. They processed and shipped the order Tuesday. I received them here (deep in the Arkansas sticks) noon today (friday) . Pretty remarkable getting a package here from another continent quicker than Amazon Prime orders.

The package had one tiny superficial rip. Sufficiently wrapped in bubble wrap the Weihrauch packaging is in perfect condition.

This is good because one of these is a Christmas/birthday (today BTW) gift for a good neighbor and friend of mine.

Shipping for one or two guns was $49.95. Might as well order two at this price. Plus the shipping was still less than the sales tax that free shipping US vendors collect. This was a total score!

My record with Krale stays at 100% today.

Just wanted to share.

Be well
Ron

They should be at this price. Great gun for dirt cheap. At least when you compare what you get to what else is available. I'm a little biased already owning three 177 Hw30 and tuning probably a dozen others of mixed calibers.

Agreed, saved big time with AGT and Vector Veyron purchases from Krale. Careful of order's grand total, over $800, there's a $66 Import Duty fee. WM

I wouldn't sweat a $66 import duty fee. Depending on your state (if you're in the US) its probably not much more than the sales tax you'd pay from a US vendor. That actually works out less than my state's sales tax.

Was there a difference between them out of the box velocity wise, or did any "one" of them stand out from the other two?

Duty fee never stopped me, always felt Krale offered great savings. Compared to US vendor's to-my-door pricing, saved a total of $1,200 on three Krale AGT airgun purchases. WM

My first two were from AoA. The first was bought in early 2016. I shot it so much it broke it's spring that first summer. I didn't have a chronograph before I kitted it with a PG2 kit. My second one was a gray laminate also from AoA. That was 2018. I PG2 kitted that gun right away. There's at least 100k shots between those two guns and they basically make the same 8fpe with the same kits.

I bought my wife's Hw30 in 2020 so we could still afford to shoot together. Powder burner cartridges were stupid scarce and expensive in the height of the BLM/Covid era. Her's is an aberration.. It shot very hot out of the box. I assumed it was from new gun dieseling. I kitted hers new with a Steel PG3 very similar to my PG2 kits. Some how it shoots close to 9fpe clean. And its the most accurate 30 in the house to boot. I can't explain it. It must be a combination of a perfect comp tube and efficient barrel. I've probably kitted another dozen 30s/R7 and never could duplicate it.

Interesting. The first one I got shot about 7fpe with a 7.33 pellet, while the 2nd one only shot less than 6fpe with the same pellet, right out of the box. I have the 2nd one apart now looking it over.

Yeah Ron, I’ve purchased 4 airguns in the last month - two from Krale and two from AOA.
Krale is simply the best distributor of Weihrauch guns there is.

AOA does a good job of supplying things like Walnut/laminated stocks and stainless alternatives the European market doesn’t hold in high regard or consider essential.
Their Christmas specials are very sweet too!

The idea for me was to sell my HW35E and HW50S in stainless, but now I’m having a hard time parting with them :unsure:.

I’ve got 4 HW 35E’s now - kinda like you with HW30’s ;) .
