Thinking of a HW100

I have the " Standard " version in .177, Walnut Stock. Absolutely one of my favorite guns.
It was WAY too hot out of the box, spent some time tweaking, massaging the gun down to 850-ish using the 10.34"s , getting 5 + mags from 200bar down to 125-ish .
The gun is a straight up laser, and stupid quite, again i will say it, one of my favorite guns .
If/when you can get one , you will not regrett the purchase as many have said before me....

I am in complete 100% agreement with the above impressions of the HW100.

Take the time to find a pellet that it likes, and the rifle will amaze you.

I shot mine today and with .177 original monsters at 50 yds. it will shoot as well as my Steyr, RAW, HFT500 etc.....

What type of shot count are you getting? I shot 150 (or more) pellets on about 75 bar of air. The yellow on the gauge is 60 bar on this one so it's probably around 300 shots per fill.

Probably not a good comparison. Your tuning is around 6 fpe, mine is between 11 and 12 fpe. And I don't know how my HW100 carbine cylinder capacity compares to your HW110. I haven't shot mine down from a full fill to the set point to verify the count, but my guess is 75-80.

Hmm :unsure:, I just saw a video from British Shooting Show 2022 and the Weihrauch stand shows the HW100 with a weaver rail and biathlon cocking lever. I wonder if that's just for the UK market or if the US will get it too?

To clarify this a bit , my HW100 came with a section of Weaver/Picatinny rail that slips over the 11mm Dovetail.
I just chose not use it as i used BKL mounts to mount up to the dovetail.
As for the " biathlon " lever , i guess it is , it is really more of a 1/2 round piece attached to the cocking lever.
Finally, just for reference , i purchased mine a little over a year from AoA

Thanks for the additional details - it would be nice if AoA provided more updated information. Nonetheless good news that these all come standard.

I was thinking about a HW100 for silhouette practice. They have a bunch of options, but I think the laminate adjustable stock looks like a good fit. I was sticking with 177 caliber.

I'll adjust it down to 800fps or so to increase shot count, and save wear and tear on the targets.

I guess the big decision now is carbine or longer barrel.

I like the higher shot count with the bigger cylinder, but the rifle looks pretty long. Carbine looks a bit short, and I have a desire for high shot count. I have a big SCBA bottle, and a bauer compressor, so I refills are unlimited, but I still have a stigma for high shot count.

So now I am leaning to the carbine, but I am not sure. What do you guys think?

I dug up this thread to add some tuning information after some chrono work this morning. I didn't use a reg tester when I did my tuning, so I was estimating my set point, but I was wrong. Going by the rifle gauge, the set point appears to be in the 70/75 bar range, lower than I guessed. Average velocity with the 10.3 gr is around 705 fps, yielding power of 11.5 fpe. I knew shot count was greatly increased after my tuning, and it looks to be in the 165/170 range. Given the small carbine cylinder, I am very impressed with that number. It reminds of the old quote about the Union army Henry rifles, you load it on Sunday and shoot all week!
