Rws 54 vs weihrauch 95

[cody2306]

So guys I’ve done research and both these two rifles are great rifles. But which will be superior in 22 walking around public land squirrel hunting. Either one I go with I’ll be using iron sights for a while till I can afford a good scope. But haven’t seen much on comparing these two rifles together. So if you could only have one in 22 which would it be?

"...walking around public land squirrel hunting."

I would pick the 95,by far. I have the 54 in .22 and it's a Great rifle! But I'll pick out something else if a lot of walking around is anticipated. The Diana 54 is a Beast!

I don’t have either gun but the HW95 is a lot lighter and cheaper but the Rws 54 is supposed to be very accurate. Airguns of Arizona has a HW95 combo with scope and rings for less than the RWS 54. The 95 .22 might prefer lead free pellets according to the AEAC YouTube video. Hardairmagazine.com has a review of an hw95 in .177. Do your research. I own two Weihrauch pellet guns and I love them both. Another to consider would be an HW77 they have open sights.

Another vote for the HW95, I own a Diana M48 and a HW85K,for walking around go with the HW.

Thanks for the reply! I’ve had my eye on the hw 95 for a while. And just came across the rws 54 today. Getting my hands on either to try before buying is prob an impossible task being from Galveston tx and I don’t believe there many air rifle hunters

Yeah what Scott suggest. I had both and still have the 54. She's not meant for lugging around but is a better 22cal choice.

thanks for the input guys!

The AOA .22 WEIHRAUCH Special Edition would be a perfect alternative to either. I bought one for an event and liked to so much, another one for me. I have a Diana 56 and have owned two 54’s, all superbly accurate and superbly heavy.


The two 77’s I have purchased both shoot sub 1/2” at 20 yards and sub 1 1/2” at 50. At $499, can’t be beat for a beautiful out of the box rifle. Both of mine are in .22 and are shooting +/- 15.5 ft lb, perfect for any small game hunting and pest control.

Which model is the special edition 22 weihrauch? I’m getting no items found

I live in Texas and squirrel hunt. I have the RWS 48, 52, 56 and HW 80. If you like the side lever RWS the 48 is the only one that is light enough to carry around. All the HW break barrels are light enough.

Nice! Do you happen to hunt the Sam Houston national Forrest?

 

[Mossonarock]

For light weight, powerful and accurate a Diana 34 is also a very worthy airgun for consideration.

You might want to look at the Weihrauch HW 98 if you decide to the go the Weihrauch route. I have a HW 80 and it worked very well for me. Mine shoots the Predator GTOs in .22 nicely.

I have had both guns you mentioned. The 54 Air King is incredibly accurate, but not well suited for lugging around through the woods, and is a handful to cock....especially multiple times. It takes the nod for bench shooting !! I still have the HW95. Much, much better suited for mobility. It's VERY accurate, as well. Great build quality. Both were in .22 cal......recommended for humane kills in hunting situations.

I have the HW98 and it's a spectacular looking gun.

It's tuned, yet not capable of 700fps.

Pellets are all over the place at 50yds. Very pellet picky, settled in on the polymags as 'best', but even those aren't great.

I know, the hold is everything, but this thing is a scattergun no matter who's shooting it and some of the guys in our club only shoot springers - they know the 'hold'.

There's another PCP guy in our club that has one and he says his is terrible too.

IDK what the problem is, but at this point I'm ready to send it to someone to diagnose and fix.
