HW/Weihrauch HW77

[EquivalentDelta]

Here is my .22 HW77 long.

I primarily shoot standing free-handed between 20-50 meters. Tin cans are practically cannon fodder.

With JSB heavies I average about 2.5 MOA over 10 shot groups on the bench, and mean radius of those groups is sub-MOA.

The Anschutz sight is migrating rearward under recoil. I have a roll pin in there at the moment, but it lets the sight drift back until the pin is at a 30* angle. Ugly.

I can hear some rattling in the internals. After 4k pellets, I have a feeling the main spring is broken. I lost about 65 fps between outings according to the change in dope to 50 meters.

Got a Vortek kit and a proper front tunnel sight on the way. Going to tap the Anschutz rear sight for a grub screw to replace the roll pin.

Some clips of a 100m shot at a pickle can and a squirrel popper at 50m:

I’ve got time on my hands. If I can’t work on yard I’m shooting. This is my possy this morning.
View attachment 474416Started off with “Greeny” named after Peter Green’s guitar, originator of Fleetwood Mac. View attachment 474417This gun almost shots like his guitar playing. My bells took a beating.
Another long barrel .22 cal. View attachment 474418This gun never disappoint. Do your part, it does its best always.
This 77 is my newest buy and oldest 77.
A Venum tuned beast. I haven’t spent enough time with it. I think it might be pellet picky. View attachment 474419Nice gun to squeeze. So smooth.
‘Now best for last. A HW77k .25. View attachment 474421I’m so addicted to this rifle. I named it Dadzi which is what I called my grandfathers (Polish). It’s the wise rifle. It should be imprinted in Gormans theatre sidewalk in Hollywood. Takes the scenic route to its target, but so reliable. Big bonus most the time you can watch the shot. My 97 .25 same deal. I know it’s against the grain of most, but it’s calculating.
The missing link a HW77 .20 is on order now at AoA. Really enjoy the 77’s especially with a better eye.
Let’s see some pics of your 77’s. Crow

Lovely collection there bud , especially the venom lazerglide

the perfect springer

Some great photos in here guys, that is for sharing.

Any of the 77 aficionados know if a 77 versus 77k produce similar fps/energy?

I'm curious if the longer barrel producing more fps with PCPs extrapolates over to springers or if the different method of creating that energy makes it a moot point.

I would guess longer barrel = more fps

 

[Steve 1974]

Generally more and imo nicer to shoot

 

[Steve 1974]

Couple more of my 77s both are Ks
This one I used mainly with opens and a Williams . Sleeved down from 26 to 22 mm with an alloy piston piston around 130g extremely light , tiny spring . In 177 around 11.4 fpe with jsb express. Very fast shot cycle and more accurate than I could be

This is another k a mk2 25mm in 22 very Nice to shoot this one has glided internals to . Just sold it

No, the power output is the same.
Always choose the k version.
Less front heavy and nicer to look at.

No, it aint, checked it with a chrono

The older stocks are so much more beautiful.

My 1986 Stage one Venom HW77 Verminter .22. Venom Arms custom made polished internals, long stroked, Macarri spring, 14 fps. Don't need no glided anything - shot cycle is smooth as frogs hair

apparently I have a springer that crowski doesn't

View attachment 474547

That line made me laugh out loud!

 

[longdog]

Well, I caved from the pressure of all of the pictures of y’alls beautiful 77s.
Received my .177 Monday from AOA. Already shot almost a full tin of JTS 8.7s…..it’s favorite pellets over H&Ns and JBSs and Crosmans. Shoots ‘em at 855-860 with amazing consistency.
Ordered a PG4 HO Steel kit last night….I’ve installed these in 4 of my 5 springers….love the solid thump!
So far I’m really diggin the accuracy.

 

[Wildcatter]

I literally shot this rifle today so that I can post. Only because, apparently I have a springer that @crowski doesn't! And I only have 4....total
HW77K in .20. Really great right out of the box, may have it tuned at some point.Shooting 15.5 fpe with JSB 13.7. Very accurate.

I wouldn't put any money on that?
