PCP Hw100 fans. Do I buy one?

[Madeintheuk]

Looking at the hw100kt. I like short, and I like the thin hole stock. In 22cal, are they accurate out past 50yds? Backyard friendly? Likes and dislikes?

Always wanted to try one.

Thanks in advance.

Man ... only way you know any of that 100% is you buy and try it . What I say , he says or some guy off the street says may be totally different then your own experience

I mean, within reason you have a point. But to someone that isn’t close to a dealer, and can’t shoot the gun before hand, online advice is all you have. The gun is $1400 plus new, so spending that chunk of change to have something that isn’t even close to what you want is kinda counter productive no?

Welcome to air gunning .. ain't just you .

I have little , well no restrictions on shooting here but I still got to buy blind mail order and take the risks of a hunk o junk or something ..

I guess to me if you question if you can shoot it then I guess you really should not have it .. right ? Something's wrong and your in doubt.

Guess we’d have to agree to disagree. What’s the point in having forums like these if it’s not to ask simple questions or recommendations on the sport we all love?
Nobody buys blindly these days. That’s what reviews and recommendations are for. The difference with forums like these is, you’re getting no bs reviews and recommendations by piers you can associate with. Instead of the bs YouTube and Amazon reviews that the reviewers are padding their pockets to lie about.

I agree, that's the benefit of forums indeed! Ie: I did not know Athlon scopes existed last year, now thanks to Ham and people on it with opinions I mostly trust, I got one on its way! If you want to shoot slugs specifically I'd pass on it. I rock an S510 in .22, 1:17 twist LW barrel, 30fpe. She'll shoot light slugs but lacking in the power department really, and most 18gr pellets are better outta it. The HW vs the AA or Daystate offering is lacking in my opinion (less shots per fill, less power), but... I've never shot an HW pcp!

I’m not looking for more power Persay. But the flatter trajectory of a slug. Loopy trajectories of lower power guns can be a pita sometimes, and my fat hands can’t handle 177 pellets. Lol
I know even at slower speeds, the bc of slugs help for a flatter trajectory, so holdovers aren’t as drastic over small distances.

That makes no sense ..

So a guy here tells you it so good and all you want to here but then you find out it's not ?

What's the difference? Lol.. come on man .

Just buy the gun and shoot it on your private property. Lol. I can't help you not in America . If your asking in fear of your neighbor or law enforcement then you should not have it . Your always looking over your shoulder or heading in to your basement.. lol. And God bless the free state of Florida.

Again, we can agree to disagree. If you’re on here just to throw out useless comments, what is anyone getting from your posts? Simple, just don’t post. If you have nothing constructive to say. Don’t say anything. You’ve now taken up most of this thread with useless posts saying “buy the gun and try it” and you know nothing of pcp’s in general. Thanks for nothing.

I was sending 21gr slugs @ 8something fps and they were decent under 50Y, got a bird or 2 even with em, the pop was worth it!! Do you know the barrel specs on the HW?

Congrats. I can’t. Hence my questions.
Don’t forget this forum is based off a magazine that does reviews of air rifles. Just sayin’

?????? There you go you can't . So your asking help to break the law in your area ? Weather they hear or see you that end result is the same. You looking to reduce the hearing part odds of that , right ?

I mean you get the gun , you down tune it to like uk levels and add a honker Donny fl silencer on the end ..

It's quite ... Right?

Thanks for your responses. Have a good day.

Looking for a whisper quite rifle going forward.

The most obvious change to the HW100 in recent years has been the incorporation of a can-style silencer that’s bonded to the barrel.

It makes the HW100 about the quietest air rifle we’ve ever tested. So – if you’re in the market for a “backyard-friendly” PCP, the HW100 now has to be high-up on the list.

The Weihrauch HW100 - A Timeless Classic PCP Air Rifle - Hard Air Magazine

Just don't know if you can still get that here anymore or a uk gun shipped with it or not with removable/ threaded muzzle

I just hate you go invest and then get confiscated and your out ...

 

[Danman]

Well, good timing...Airgun Advisor on YT just dropped a vid on the HW shorty in .22 today! Maybe some good info on it?

 

[pan60]

everyone has made their view known so lets please not bicker.
thank you : )

I have long version of the HW100 w/ laminated stock in .22cal. It is the quietest PCP that I own but not necessarily the most accurate at 50 yds. That distinction goes to my Benj Marauder .25 cal. I just received a new Daystate Huntsman Revere in .25, we will see if it can hold its own with the Marauder at 50yds.

 

[Madeintheuk]

I really like the noise everyone is making for the revere. I would totally get it if it wasn’t so long. I like the carbine style rifles. The hw100 checks all the boxes, including anti double load, and simple magazines. From what I hear, people call it quiet, but no distinct info on the carbines. The shorter barrels tend to make for louder rifles.
