Lately I've been interested in the Beeman R1/HW80 for possible use in small game hunting. Then I came across the R10/HW85 in an article written by Tom Gaylord in the Pyramyd Air Blog. According to what I read the HW85 has the same power level as the HW80 but is smaller and lighter.
If this is the case wouldn't it make more sense to get an HW85 instead of the HW80? Does the HW80 have any advantages over the HW85. Based on what I read I would think that the HW85 would have replaced the HW80 yet it is still in production. The Weihrauch web site still shows both rifles so I'm assuming they are both still being made.
