Check with these guys. It's a little bit of a hassle to get a login but, there are a lot of really sharp air rifle guys there.

Ummmm HW80 My first real airgun. What kind of performance do you get out of it?

Be careful: an air rifle is a "live system." Unlike a cartridge rifle, a Weihrauch does a lot of its recoiling while the pellet is in the barrel. Interfere with that - by fitting a bipod for example - and accuracy can go haywire.

An air rifle will tend to throw its shots away from anything that immobilises the barrel. Rest the barrel on a fence, for example, and it'll throw shots high. Lean the left side of the barrel against a tree to stabilise it and the shots will fly to the right.

Weihrauchs are heavy for a reason: live with it!

What Otter said: I'm a big airgun fan myself, and if you use anything other than your hands to stableise it, your going to miss. Try doing pressups 3 sets a day to build your strength...thats what I done, and i was able to keep it steady for 50yrd standing headshots...if ur lazy it wont matters as ur not working up a sweat, just do as many as u can 3 times aday, no probs!

Performance: Great, my dad bought it a long time a go, still drops the birds realy well.














what are pressups?

 

[myopicmouse]

If it's old you may want to consider a one-off cleaning the barrel?

what are pressups? - Maybe yous call them push-ups? u lie face down and ur arms push body up & down. builds up ur arm strength.

To reduce some of the recoil, get a GAS RAM from Theoben engineering.

Look under accesories and then Gas Strut.
