HW/Weihrauch .20 Caliber HW77K

I bought my first .20 in June, a ‘97 with walnut stock, and I’m a believer. It’s shooting JSB 13.73 around 720fps with a John in PA tune. I’ve owned maybe 6 or 8 .177 spring guns from Weihrauch and Air Arms and have never been able to shoot groups like I have with this one. I absolutely love it.

Hey Guys,
I may regret this, but I just ordered a Weihrauch 77K in .20 caliber at AoA .
It's a pre-order, so it may not arrive until next year; only out $25 until it's shipped.

I've had two HW77K's before and sold them, but hoping the .20 caliber suits the platform better.
I will tune it to shoot 13.73 JSB's about 735/750 fps, so it will likely be pretty snappy.
From my past tuning, the HW77K's make a little more power than the HW95 and HW97 using the same spring.

All of that 77 talk got your appetite going I see.

That may be the best looking walnut Weihrauch stock I've seen yet.

Kirk. You won’t regret it. You’re going to love it. I ordered a HW77 .20 cal. about 2 months ago as well. Can’t wait. So looking forward for that .20 cal.
That 77 BayouSelf has, is to die for.
Here’s my 77’sTop is Venum stock and tuned .22 cal.
Top lam .177 cal.
3+4 are .22 cal.
Bottom .25 cal. ( a favorite )
I’d be curious if ours come at the same time.
Nice buy, good luck. Crow

Recently bought a HW95 from AOA in .20. Im shooting both 11gr and 13 equally well. I am loving it. It knocks the hell out of my spinner targets and has gone through some empty vegetable cans without moving them. I thought I was missing until I got a closer look. (iron sights)

HW77's have almost the same-spec powerplant as the HW95, but as the fixed barrel 77 has a much shorter, more efficient transfer port than the breakbarrel guns, it should shoot faster, all else equal. It's also better suited to the higher power levels (within reason) thanks to its high mass.

A HW77K in .20 or .22 cal is the only Weihrauch I would be interested in anymore, but it would have to have the old-style stock that actually works with open sights (and looks massively better, too). Thinner than thin pickings, from where I'm looking.

Where did you buy that from?

77 and 97 have the same guts, bore and stroke. If you get more from a 77 than a 97 its from some idiosyncrasy.

The 95 stroke is 4mm longer which should net more power. If the TP is less efficient as Tox says that could eat up the additional stroke.

I have a 77 long .22 . I am thinking i would like the shot cycle better in say 10 to 11 FPE .

AOA. Last time I checked they had some walnut .20 cals in stock. No guarantees what the figuring will look like, of course...

Maybe if its a 25mm gun. 26mm guns can get slouchy that slow. 22s already shoot smoother than 177 or 20. When done right a 22 cal 77 should shoot like a puppy dog anywhere between 13-15.

Can you order walnut stocks on a 77 at AOA? Crow

IDK I think they have 97's in walnut. Give'em a call maybe they could hook you up.
