HW57 Range Time

[@stevepowell3475]

Another Great video showing the virtue of these light weight HW Models. I was converted myself after buying a SFS 99s in .22 flavour from a good chum a year ago. I was so impressed, I've now got 2 other 99s's - 1 in .22 and 1 in .177 - both fitted with Vmach Glided internal kits by myself. Both superb to shoot being light weight and incredibly accurate, with a great shot cycle. Keeping with the lightweight theme, I've just got an HW 30s, to which I've fitted yet another Vmach glided Kit. The result is a super lightweight rifle, producing a mere 7.7 fpe, but so sweet to shoot and as accurate as an 'accurate thing' out to 40m. Everyone should own one for the sheer enjoyment. Keep up the great work Vin.

Amazing result for a new gun straight out of the box. Worth stripping it down to clean out the slathering of orange gunk HW use and replacing with just a few dabs of high molybdenum grease. My old Venom tuned 57, which I bought used, has had plenty of use over the last 9 years. Very accurate using H&N FTTs, Goldstars, and surprisingly, the new Wasps which are made by H&N and distributed by Bisley Wholesale. I think the 57 is one of the gems of the Weihrauch springer range.

@@vincentenglish8489 I sold an early HW50 some time ago without the Record trigger and was in doubt if i should get myself a new HW50/99s or the HW57. Now i know what i want 😁 I do also like the extra weight on the front. Cheers!

Good solid performance from the little HW57 there. Can tell you are very pleased with it. 😃😃

Great stuff, Good review and some great outdoor shooting. I fully expected it to be another flawless HW beauty. Thank you Vin

Nice shooting Vin. Looks like a great lightweight combo. Take care.

That rifle is a keeper vin,super video cheers

@@madness6780 thanks buddy. Yup no hesitation in recommending the 57 👍👍👍

[@steve4697]

So glad it's everything you hoped it would be..when I was looking into them some people were finding issues with loading port not lining up properly, hopefully that was restricted to a batch as it certainly doesn't seem the case with yours..look out there's another rifle I'll have to add to my wishlist 😆👍👍

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@steve4697 cheers Steve. Yup cracking rifle. In regards to the loading port I was speaking to my gunsmith buddies and they have said they've never had/seen that issue. Likewise with my old 57 never had an issue and I must've shot thousands of pellets through it. 👍👍👍👍

[@steve4697]

@vincentenglish8489 that's good to hear, it's funny how the Internet can amplify things from being isolated incidents to a common fault 🙄👍👍

Hi Vin, I would keep it too. Good job.

Great video lovely gun

[@ianbath4776]

👏 great video. Save up for a .22 only air rifles you need in uk 👍🏻

[@AndyEllis-qz6uk]

Great film clip Vin. Could you do a film clip on cleaning the barrel? I have never cleaned the barrel on my HW57 (not had to), but from what I have heard, you can remove the pop-up breach for cleaning.

[@vincentenglish8489]

Ok sure thing....I must say it's a long winded thing to strip down the rifle just to run a pull through when 2 or 3 cleaning pellets will do pretty much the same job in a few seconds 😉.. however I'll strip the 57 down and show you 👍👍👍👍

[@johnwadsworth9928]

Nice one Vin, was thinking of chopping my 35k in and getting the 57, finding the 35 a bit heavy these days. Top video and excellent shooting.

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@johnwadsworth9928 that little 57 shot beautifully buddy, I dare say the groups will tighten up even more once it's run in a bit. Thanks for the comment my friend.

[@lesliecampbell2109]

Nice review Vin. I must say all my weirauch s prefer h&n pellets

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@lesliecampbell2109 yup they're a good base line pellet to use to judge the accuracy of other makes. My 95L and 77k are awesome with RWS Superdomes. 👍👍👍👍

@vincentenglish8489 you've got me thinking about Suprdomes now Vin🤔

[@88stan01]

Great video 👌 I have a 2011 hw 57 in .22 with a hawke 4-16 x50 and it is stupidly accurate, pellet on pellet at 30 yards easy

[@urbanfox53]

Hello Vin, enjoyed the video. Out of curiosity what did the chrono say about the Hw57?.

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@urbanfox53 hi buddy, off the top of my head 8.48gr Streamlined QYS 782 FPS - 11.53FPE....hope that helps. I'm just about comfortable with that as I fully expect the power to creep up a little once run in 😉👍👍👍👍👍

[@Kurt_Steiner]

Just a question vin...so how do you clean the barrel?

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@Kurt_Steiner Google Napier cleaning pellets...basically a felt pellet you fire through the rifle. If you really felt the need you could always strip down the rifle but it's not really necessary 👍👍👍👍

[@paulspeller968]

not mega pellet fussy . definitely stacks em . what’s it like for barrel cleaning . looking is like it could be a bit of a faf with that breach loader . not a deal breaker though . pity they changed that stock design. i am not keen on the cut out on the under side of that butt . but hw seem to have gone that way with all there new stocks

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@paulspeller968 yeah I'm not a fan on the cut out underside buddy. For barrel cleaning a couple of Napier cleaning pellets seemed ok. This '57 loved QYS both domed and Streamlined. I'm gutted that I didn't record the 40 metres trebor mints challenge, 10 shots, 10 mints shattered...I really recommend this rifle very highly indeed 👍👍👍

[@paulspeller968]

@ 🤣🤣🤣 felt pellets . of course 🤣🤣🤣 there was me thinking how would you clean that barrel 🤣🤣🤣 and to top it off i always put a couple of felt pellets through the red wolf at the end of each session. did not cross my mind 🤣🤣🤣 been a long day mate yes qys stream line seem to do the business 👌

[@glenford4527]

Hi mate , enjoyed that video , I'm a sucker for HW rifles aswell , wonder if the Hawke Scope would do any better groups , just a thought .

[@vincentenglish8489]

@@glenford4527 yeah I see your line of thinking buddy. I'm not 100% on the Victoptics yet, it'll take a few months I guess of testing to see how it holds up. I honestly expected it to fail today, but 300 plus rounds down range and everything working as it should. A 13mm group (covered easily by a 5p) is pretty impressive at 40m especially with a brand new gun so I'm not sure wether a scope change would've tightened the groups more. However only one way to be sure and that's to do it again with the Hawke on board 😉👍👍👍👍
