Tell you what mate.....really enjoyed that video....just getting back in to air gun hunting,got meself a AA s510 tdr regulated......but was thinking of getting a second gun,as you do lol.....would go for a hw...not sure which model yet....take it hw80 is the springer and hw90 is gas ram....never owned a gas ram,always wanted a theoben....showing me age now(55)lol....but cracking video,thanks

That 80 don't like the Pest control as tumbling as not clean holes had it with .20 rapid 12 MK2 with Crosman Premiers etc used to swirl down range but Target trophy was spot on.

Tidy up the barrel pivot screw heads with a small file adds the finishing touches 😉

There is one thing I do I have done since the mid 90s that no one has mentioned. I seat each and every pellet using a tool that was sold by Beeman. The tool was just a short steel rod with a ball bearing head to press the skirt of the pellet flush with the chamber opening, squaring it off even.

Nice 👍🏽 ✔️

I bought a hw35 3 days ago £425 new, great Gun 🔫

Sounds like a recreation of the scene in Naked Gun, where Frank leaves his mike on when he goes for a toilet break.....

Check the screws have not loosened

💪💪😎

Is there an adjustment for hold over

Cheers!

I opened a new tin with .22 5.52mm JSB Exacts and i felt already that they fit different in the barrel. To loose. Result about the same group as you shot Keith. Had no pellets left from the old batch and ordered a tin with 5.53mm to try and nice tight group again. The older HW35 like a tight fit. Cheers buddy!

Gotta watch for that fps drop when you chain fire. I noticed it on all my springers now that I can chrony them.

Your face when you pulled the shot to the right Keith 😂😂😂 here you learn a valuable lesson, quit when you only have one flyer because you just damn well know that group will open up 👍👍👍👍

Interesting two groups. As always good shooting considering the time you spend between shots. Thanks for the video.

Nice, nearly at 1k subscribers

What did you use on the stock

Have you tried 5.6mm pellets in it?

Love this rifle! Nice shootin

May I ask how you finished the stock? Looks superb.., 😅

Quality 🤘🏻🤘🏻

The best airriffle of all time

I have a Hw97 that’s a couple of years old only had approximately 300 pellets works good apart from the twang do you offer this service for others please.

❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Mine not grouped at all in 22

Some sweet grouping there nice 1

Looks shit mate

The 97 seems to like the heavies. Good group

Very good group 😃

Had a he 90,sirroco classic carbine and now bsa lightnig grt.they all shoot the same😉

I’m seriously thinking to get one of these kits for mine now as it’s just about at the end of its warranty, I don’t like changing things until after that, where is the cheapest place to get the kit or is it only sold by vortek?

Hw80 or hw97k which is better do you think

The difficulty I found with the HW97 was establishing a suitable machined horizontal surface (i.e. a surface at right angles to the vertical axis of the gun) to enable the placing of a spirit level. Two methods I have thought of, although only the second one is safe: 1) cock the gun and leave it cocked to expose the parallel horizontal surfaces either side of the breach chamber, unsafe as it means messing around with a cocked gun. 2) obtain a small engineer's pin vice, clamping it (upside down) across the two machined vertical faces just before the breach chamber. Once clamped in position, the upturned face of the pin vice should provide a suitable horizontal surface for placing a spirit level (“gun level”). Once the gun level is in place, the arrangement can stay there during setting up to ensure verticality of the gun axis whilst the scope is lightly bolted down. The scope reticule should then be aligned against a known vertical, such as a wall. For the avoidance of cant, a miniature horizontal spirit level can be added to the top of the scope. Before final torquing up, the gun and scope levels should both be horizontal and the scope reticule vertical.

Is the rifle fac?

Not every scope turuts are flat 😂😂 and you did not level the bench bench out its all out

2 inch groups 😮 oh god

Well I have to say 25 yards with these rifles hmmmmm😢 legendary stories of these rifles I now find hard to believe, I’ll not be buying one

Never had an 80,had plenty of 97s a 35 now currently a hw100, but did briefly have a brand new 90 but returned it as i couldn't fit a dampamount as it had a bulged maintube! All my airrifles are fac,and by heck the cocking force of that 90 was huge,id say if i kept it id have a bloody dislocated shoulder, it was crazy!

HW 80 is a great gun especially the new version with the luxus stock

Looks like Saun did a fine reblue there. I'm sending a Theoben to him soon and this has made me feel a lot better about the cost. Cheers.

Had em both ,and both will do the job 😉

Accuracy and power together💯👏

Very good 👍👏💯

Great video. Have you tried the 57 under lever by any chance. All Weihrauch's are great

Well done sir top job. Why not try the new light weight Welsh Willy spring and him guides, lots of good comments on the Air Gun Forum about these. Would also make a good comparison video between the two rifles.

Neither my 97 Sporter nor my HW100 bullpup (both .177) like Hades, the 100 is especially bad with them. Even at 40m it looks like I used a shotgun but I can put Bisley Magnum or Bisley Long Range Gold through the same hole all day long. Air guns are funny that way, even though Weihrauch make the least pellet fussy barrels going they still have their little foibles.

Looking good mate👌

cracking looking work mate . few boys have his rifles down the club pcp what a stunning bit of kit they are . not bad from a bloke that works out of shed or he used to don’t know about know might have a workshop

Very nice you could call it Frank ,after Frankensteins monster made from other bits ,will be a gem when finished 🤘

That looks fantastic. Im after getting an old HW77 re blacked. Who did the work for you?
