HW100 or HW110?

[rangur1]

My limited research has stipulated that the HW100 is metal and the HW110 utilizes some synthetic materials. Both seem to work well. Also believe the HW110 is monoblock as well as being a smaller block whereas the HW100 is a 2 piece and longer block. Comments on performance and weight / durability?

The HW100 is like the first VW tried and true, like the PO8 ya can't improve on them" dont forget 14 shot in the 22. Not many doing that now?Need i say more"

My HW100s are examples of fantastic German engineering

Short answer.....the HW100. It's a solid, proven platform that is super reliable. Newe & improved isn't always the case. Just sayin'.....

I’d suggest the HW110.

It has a newer regulator design with a larger plenum than the HW100.

Also, the HW110 barrels thread into the breech block. The HW100 uses grub screws.

They are both excellent rifles, but the 110 is a newer design.

The trigger in the HW110 is excellent.

Have had a .177 HW100S and a .22 HW100S FSB for 8 years and can say that I'm very pleased with them. Well designed, well made, solid performers. Don't worry about the two piece breech block, it's robust.

They are hefty airguns, wood and metal and are not what I'd call "light" but then I find them to rest well and stable in my hands.

The .177 was shooting too hot (unstable beyond 50 yards) and I had to tone it down a bit. I'm shooting JSB 10.43 pellets, getting about 60 shots per fill.

The .22 is my favorite for general shooting, plinking, pesting, and small game hunting. I'm shooting JSB 15.89 pellets, getting about 30 shots per fill.

No experience with the HW110 but I have a HW44 pistol based on the same action. No complaints, preforms well but only a 10 shot mag.

Cheers

My first PCP was the HW100T .22 calibre. It is built like a tank, solid and reliable. It is now my designated rat-gun. Two magazines of 14 shots each are perfect for my rats shooting.

I self service my PCPs so I have been wondering if anyone knows if the HW110 in the US has those anti-tamper measures installed.

Hmm, so...no one, maybe one, has actual experience with both the HW100 AND...the HW110 ?

I can't answer the question either as I only have experience with the HW100 (bullpup). Great design, especially for the Bullpup mechanism.
And sort of contrary to one answer above, the barrel in the HW100 is only held in with "one" set screw, not multiple as the poster sort of comments on (the letter s = multiple !). And it secures the barrel from an angle, so it pushes the barrel very solidly "into" the receiver. No amount of force, or twist will pull it out.

And for what it may be worth, the socket of the HW100's receiver, accepts the barrel inserting into the receiver much more "accurately" than normal threading, I'd rather have a nice snug slip fit to a thread securing my barrel. Which, yes, the HW100 does have, the HW110 is threaded.

I have had three hw100 one was a Carbine. I now have just the 110. I thought the hw100's were fantastic guns and despite being a sucker for a nice piece of walnut I have no problem with the stock on the 110. Its very hard to split them. They were all in .177 as i am a target shooter and the only plus that goes to the 110 is the improved shot count. My hw110 is the full length which is about the same length as the hw100 carbine. I shoot it into the yellow until i see the drop and I see it as soon as it drops on the first bull and i get approx 130 shots in .177. Edit I just love the weapons grade plastic used on the hw110. I am far more relaxed after handling it than I ever was with the hw100. I only had to brush against that and the oily rag was out. OCD.

HW100 is far superior in build, design, quality and functionality.

 

[elh0102]

My experience is with the HW100 only, and I consider it to be one of the best made rifles on the market; robust, accurate, great trigger. After reading a good bit about the HW110, I believe it was designed as a less expensive rifle to build, with a greater profit margin. I respect Weihrauch quality, and I'm sure the HW110 is a very good rifle, but I can't see it replacing my HW100.

 

[CharlieF]

I have two HW100s (.177 & .22) and 1 HW 110. All are quality builds but the magazines load much easier in the 100s.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Awhile back i noticed this hw 100 ft.
I guess that's a overseas only thing?

But have you had any experience of it or is this just a stab in the dark?

I do know that I once sat next to a chap at a club Plinking Table who had applied to much force(by hand) to screwing his silencer on and had moved the barrel thus altering the zero. I have heard this several times.

HW110SC .177 owner. This rifle amazed me out of the box with trigger, quiet and accuracy! Was my first .177 pcp... quickly became my go to backyard pest rifle. The composite build is hefty in hand, and I can agree with CharlieF about the mag inserting.... maybe just my 70 year old beat up fingers? but it takes both hands to be efficient.

As I said, my experience is with the HW100 only. I have read and observed video reviews of the HW110. The sources were credible, and the comments were consistent with my opinion. So, while I haven't had hands-on experience, my opinion is more than a spontaneous reaction with no research, which I might call a "stab in the dark". But again, and as I said, I have not shot the HW110, and folks will make their independent decisions.

Well both great Guns and I am so pleased with my hw110 given the opportunity I would not swap for the HW100. However I will concede that the Mags do go in easier in the 100. As a target shooter I use a one shot loader so it is not an issue.
