HW50s range time

[Cannonball]

I recently picked up a HW50s from Krale and it’s been getting more range time than my PCP’s lately. I have been working on my hold and the groups keep getting smaller the more I shoot it. Below is a 5 shot group from 30 yards. It was my best group of the day but even the worst one wasn’t much larger than this. I have tried several different pellets and the H&N FTT 8.64 seems to be the winner here.

Yes Connonball,
They're perfect little Springers - very addicting to shoot. Likely my most used springer, try AA7.87 pellets - best pellet for my two guns.

Haven't had time to shoot mine as much as I'd like to. Haven't put the JM spring in it yet. And haven't changed it's clothes yet. I bought the JM stock before the gun. One of his last. (sadly). I'll get to it when I get to it. I have shot it enough to know I really like the way it handles.

Yeah KWK, got a couple HW50 stocks from Macarri a few years ago, beautiful for the $$$. The good old days of vendors such as Macarri are almost over.

I call the HW50S the Goldilocks of the Weihrauch line up. I liked mine so much I purchased a stock from CSUK. Everyone should have a HW50S!

That's fantastic shooting. Congrats

Excellent group and congratulations on the new rifle!

Nice shooting. Beautiful gun. My wife's HW50 in .22 is supposed to be here today she's excited. Had to get here one to keep her away from my HW95 .22. Once she saw it shoot she wanted a Weihrauch too!

Nice shooting Cannonball.
Question for you HW50s guys. I've heard that the HW50s has the same diameter compression tube as the HW95. So what makes the 50 lighter? Is the compression tube shorter than the one on the HW95?

 

[KWK]

Yeah, and the barrel is shorter too

 

[cjtamu]

Yeah, and the barrel is shorter too

My wife's just got here and the forestock is much narrower than my 95 which probably saves a little weight too. Noticed it soon as I picked it up. It's a great fit for her small hands. Just a smaller gun all around.

Thanks guys.
