Break Barrel Which to buy Weihrauch HW30 or HW 95?

[ernroe]

I currently own a HW50S and really like it and decided to buy another springer. I am currently looking at the HW 30 and Hw 95, both are break barrel springers and represent each end of the power spectrum. All I will do with them is shoot them in my backyard range that goes out 50 yards. I really enjoy the HW 50S .22 so much so I decided to add another break barrel .177. It will only be used for target shooting.

Another consideration might be the HW97K. The benefits of this rifle are especially it's laser accuracy and the stability of being an underlever. Yes, this gun is on the heavy side at just over 9 pounds, but if its going to be shot from the bench, the weight isn't overly significant. Read up on the HW97K and then give it a shot, I did and I thoroughly enjoy mine at .22 cal and in walnut from AoA. Enjoy, Orv.

If you want another airgun but in .177, get the HW30S. Make sure there is an "S" on the end, which gives you the Rekord trigger. This is perfect for short range plinking and target shooting and in the winter it will behave in the basement range, depending on your latitude. In my opinion, the 95 does best in .22.

30 for long shooting sessions. Much easier on the body.

My first adult airgun was a Beeman R9 (HW95) in .20 back in 2001. Love it but it was/is a little heavy so I bought a R7 (HW30) in .20.. About 2010 I bought a HW 50 in .177. Of the 3, the R7 (HW30) has been my go to springer. Actually, I haven't shot the R9 (HW95) in years.

If you think that you'd like to sell that HW50, I sure would appreciate being able to make an offer for it. Orv.

I own a 30 and a 95. From what I’ve been reading on the forums, the 50 has almost the same cocking effort as the 95 but it’s a wee bit smaller. For long plinking sessions, the HW30 in .177 is the way to go. I’ve designated my 95 as my SHTF gun because it’s power is enough for small game hunting.

I'm With @Hoppalong Doc go 97K. The 30 and 50 in my mind overlap a fair amount with the 30 being better for long sessions, as mentioned. The 95 will be more challenging and better (flatter) @ 40-50Y esp with a tune. Or get the underlever and shake it up! Still want me a 50 someday!

Like I said above I prefer my HW30 to my other springers, but I agree with @Hoppalong Doc and @Danman that if I were thinking about a HW95 today I would go with the HW97 over the HW95. I would also take a hard look at the HW98 versus the HW95.

I have a Beeman R9 (HW95) in .22 and a Beeman R7 (HW30S) in .177. The R9 is a workout, for one arm, at least. The R7 can be shot all day, and it is extremely accurate!

I just got the 50s Tuesday. Have had the 30s since August 2024. The Ease of cocking the rifle of the 30 is so enjoyable. The 50s while harder is only about 24 lb Compared to 16(and feels just as crisp and smooth). So I'm sure I'll still use the 30 most. But I'll have a 97 before the years out, I promise.
Maybe the 95 after that.

There's an HW85 on D&Ls website, one of the very few left that isn't all sold out from their last shipment. Anyone know the pros/cons of that one? Looks absolutely beautiful but she is long @ 45.8inches!

 

[jps2486]

Of all of them, the 97 is the Cadillac, but it’s heavy.

I've owned 2 30s in .22, 95 in .20 and .22 and 50 in .177 , .20 and .22. I loved all of them but found the 50 to be the best all around for plinking and midrange hunting. The 30 was the best plinker for sure with a nice soft recoil and the 95 was excellent for hunting mid-longer range. Every one of them were tuned and deburred for smoothness and longevity. Its hard not to love all of them for thier different attributes.

Thx to all who have responded. I dropped the hammer 🛠 on the HW30NSE that AoA is running on special now. I also had them perform the Super Tune Up service. I appreciate all of your comments. I now have 4 Weihrauchs, HW100, HW110, HW50S and soon the HW30. The only non family member is my MROD.

Talk about an heirloom!

I'm sure we're all in agreement....there is no wrong answer!
Give us your feedback when you put it to work, what pellets it loves/speeds, etc
