Yep, it'll be a Vortek Kit when next in stock

TBH, 1st time I did it the pellet hardly moved, filmed it and.its all over the place 😂 When next in stock I'll treat myself to the Vortek Kit, already got them in other Weihrauchs and a spare one yet to fit for the HW80 too

You'll love it, great rifle to have in the collection

I need to get some more coupons or scrap as it's quite enjoyable. I have an idea or aim to make a rose arch for the garden so need the practice

@@keith6930 what are the coupons for? I need to get one I know where a lot of old bike frames are 🤔, all sorts of things come to mind lol

I have an old Ox spring that could always play with. Touch wood power and cocking effort is pretty good with the HW97 main spring. I need to play with the scope as no idea why it's suddenly off so much?!

I would like a duelling tree type target. They have a few on the indoor range and always satisfying to get them to swing from one side to the other

A small magnet might have helped also? Got so annoyed with it it ended up staying down the range!

@@keith6930 oups 🫢

This came with a set of reducing plates for each of the holes but even hitting those would cause them to flip close?! Some are far far too sensitive and others reluctant to flip up!

@@keith6930 Try an other angle Keith. Little bit forward or glue some thick shims on the flips for xtra weight.

Thanks

No idea, it's not been chrono'd for a while. On the play back it shoots gas as well as the pellet when fired so maybe a small leak on each shot?

@keith6930 maybe. Like to know if it is now lol.

The tin I've got in .177 seems to be quite accurate However, more than enough people on the forums have stated that the recent quality of the JSB heavies have been atrocious

I know what you mean

Thanks, it's a great rifle

I've swapped over the barrels to a .25 for a little play. When the .22 barrel is back on it'll be running with a Vortek PG4 kit. They've been great additions to the other Weihrauchs I've got. The 80 is a cracking rifle for sure

The stock was 3D printed, they're not being made anymore which is a shame as very nice and light. I think this barrel was for a 2260? It's 24" long and probably too long but looks cool and shoots well.

I retrieved the candy end of the lollipop and actually hit it twice with the HW99.

@@keith6930 Nice 😁

Thanks, not too shabby freehand off the knee and with a red dot sight. I would have played with the windage if it hadn't started to drizzle stopping play!

It's not too bad, can still reach out to 50m with relative ease, plus it's not too hard or stiff to cock. The European limits are even worse!

As platforms go, they are very easy and simple to work on. It's currently got the larger 2250 air cylinder and a 24" barrel 😆

Yeah I know, get a little excited at times. The scope should have been to leave it alone that's for sure. I'm gonna be taking the 99 down the range before too long and will see about property zeroing it in from a bag and bench instead of off sticks

With a few tweaks off of a stable base to get it properly zeroed it's not a bad way to shoot a springer

Yep, it needs a re do that's for sure and change the targets a bit as well.

I'm going to be doing that as well

Thanks, turned ok and would like to try again and learn from a few mistakes but that's all part of practice

Yep, in my mind I wanted 5 targets and to have 2 shots on each to replicate a follow up? I'll definitely retry this and try not to fumble with the pellets this time and see just how much quicker it is

It's not that bad actually? The loading port on the HW97 can be accessed from both sides unlike the TX200 so it's not an issue

@@keith6930 Yes i know i have one.. Thank you for the video, The TX 200 is a pain with that clanky bear trap also.

@@redauwg911 I don't need a TX, but, if one pops up and is cheap enough...I won't be saying no 😂

Comparing 10 shots starting with a PCP with an empty magazine against a springer would be interesting. My guess is the springer would win but not by a lot and could make for a tortoise v hare race.

@@sometimesdimneverthin8901 you read my mind, starting with an empty mag, load and rattle off compared to the slow and steady springer

Should be plenty. I was using JSB and switched to H&N after and had trouble with the same aim point and hold over despite being similar weights. I think the H&N lead make up results in slower speed and reduced power compared to the softer JSB? When I fitted the Vortek Kit I had the following chrono: 10.49gr at 10.7ftIbs 8.44gr at 11.8ftIbs I don't recall testing the 10.34gr JSB Heavy, or even shooting them much before this day for that matter so not sure where they are power wise?

Jeez that sucks, no idea TBH as quite a large diameter and fine pitch threads

Thanks

I don't know which one I'm afraid, it's a cheap Hawke one

£100

Christ you must be old like me , works a treat 👍🍻

@@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069 Yup, reckon so!

It was fine before so no idea what I've done? Could be the punch bolts tighter one side and a bit of barrel droop with the new barrel who knows??

Thanks, shoots nice with the 97 spring. No idea why the scope has now run out of adjustment and POI is well off from the POA? I did look at the shims and it's straight and even? Stuck a cheap red dot and a few twists of the knobs it's almost on target?!

I have seen on the forums and such that the quality is shoddy now? Can only assume a bad batch and not poor QC. I've previously bought seals and not entirely sure they've held up too good when I've stripped the rifle down later on?! These Brit Seals are a definite upgrade on the stock ones available. I've got some for the other rifles too when needed

Good advice. It's a nice sedate affair cooking the 35, no harsh knocks or jolts to break the barrel and as you mention, use the detent release on locking up and it's silent and effortless

I've got a stirrup pump to go steady with and the adaptor as well. I'm hoping it's as straight forward as the other Weihrauchs to dismantle
