Weihrauch Made in Gerrr....what China?

[Fenian]

Hey guys,

So I try to buy quality stuff, I’m a big fan of US products where possible and German, FX from Sweden and just got my first Daystate from Engand

So I just bought my first Weihrauch HW30 Urban Pro....and I was very disappointed with the scope that this package comes with, it just felt off...as in not matching the gun, and cheap if I’m honest. So I go to try screw the covers back over the scope and it just won’t fit right and after a while I notice underneath it says CHINA

I honestly feel cheated and lied to, I didn’t intend to buy a Chinese rifle I intended to buy a German rifle.... I’m disgusted at companies that keep taking your American dollars for ‘German Quality’ when it’s actually Chinese crap!

I won’t be buying from them again, I’m done

Almost All ....And I mean ALL Package scopes are going to be chinese scopes . It s how they can get someone up and shooting and not have the prices be outrageous.

If the Weihrauch had included a German scope the price of the package would have easily tripled . It shouldn't sour you on the rifle though . 

Every Airgun maker I can think of that has branded scopes as part of their package setups use Chinese scopes . 

I hate it for you that you didn't know upfront before the purchase

Its a shame!

Sorry guys but I’m just not buying this ‘if it wasn’t made it China it would cost so much more’

Theres plenty of opportunities to manufacture in the EU or US at competitive costs. Parts of the EU, and I’m sure the US, have unemployment rates over 30%
There are deals to be had 

Even still, you can’t label your product ‘Quality German Made’ or ‘Made in Germany’, and take decent $ for that label, when that’s simply not the case 

Because then....where does it ever end! This HW30 Urban Pro isn’t about Justin making money calling it German stuff and making it in China’, it’s meant to be an entry level gun into the Weihrauch range, an introduction to the brand. Instead it’ll just make me never trust them again and buy elsewhere

The Gun is made in Germany , it’s simply the scope that’s made in China . The Weihrauch brand is a great brand and that’s a great rifle . It just came with a “ starter package scope”. It’s like when you get fries with a burger ....You aren’t gonna get like “ Famous “ French fries

If that gun is the same as my Weihrauch, that is German made - you can tell the precision right away. Not sure there are any decent package scopes, dump the package scope and grab a $100 hawke and you will have a rock solid shooter. 

 

[Fuciliere]

if the scope is made in Germany, the scope would probably more expensive than the gun by 2 or 3 folds

 

[Fenian]

Right, again, I am not the one declaring the gun is ‘Quality German Rifle’ and all that!

Its not. It’s Chinese!

They need to be honest about what they are selling 

Next Fx Airguns Made in Sweden actually will mean it’s made in Tim****too

 

[JoeWayneRhea]

Last post I'll make here on this thread . The gun is made in Germany and is of the highest quality . It's the scope made in China . 

Let's take a PB&J sandwich . If the Jelly comes from an old country cannery rich in heritage and lore from the Austrian Alps ... That don't mean the Peanut Butter didn't come outta a crack heads front pocket . 

 

[Fenian]

Right, the gun is made in Germany, the scope is made in China...correct

My point is, every time they mention Weihrauch they ALWAYS mention 

‘German quality’

’German engineering’ ‘German Precision’ ‘German Built’

They don’t say ‘....take a close look, some of our poop actually comes from China’

Dont put a German flag and ‘Made in Germany’ tag on a package that’s not actually made in Germany unless they are willing to put the Chinese flag then on the scope also and the German one on the gun...that would then be fair game 

 

[autodoc]

 Most guns don’t even come with scopes. They should have left the scope off and you would be happy ? I myself have recently tried to refrain when possible to not buy Chinese products.

Waking up to reality can be painful,,there is no Santa Claus or Easter bunny and don't forget the tooth fairy

my first pcp was a package deal, gun and scope,,never again will I do a package deal, live and learn

 

[Fenian]

Damn....was really looking forward to the tooth fairy as I get older lol

Yep, live and learn and I won’t be buying more Weihrauch. I’m just letting others know what I didn’t

Wow, what about a Air arm’s TX200 ? Made in England, except the stock and the barrel.

Ya get what ya get.

 

[Fenian]

Oh god don’t get us started lol 

 

[Guest]

So when are you coming down here to shoot?

Hey Mitch did you say Marlborough?? PM me again I lost your details

Package deals aren't very the best way to go sometimes .

You pay good money for a rifle and get a piece of crap scope .

Better to get the best price on the rifle then do some research and get the best price on the scope and/or other accessories !

Just like buying a boat at a boat show.

You're getting a good price because its usually very under powered ,ask them for a bigger motor and see what happens to the price !!!

When my HW 95 Field Pro arrived in the mail I admit I was a little disappointed to see that the scope was made in china. Well that was about three years ago and the rifle and scope are still going stong. It holds a zero and gives me a nice clear sight picture. As long as the scope and mounts keep working well I have no intention of changing anything.

I've been very satisfied with the scope that came with this rifle but they should let people know where the scope was made before they buy the package. I would not hesitate to buy this same set up again.

It is very naive to believe it is that easy to start up an inexpensive scope company making all of the product in the US or Germany, if you want products made here you have to support the price it would require. The main component, the rifle is made in Germany that is what they are selling. Would you rant about your German made car when you found out the windshield and radio were made in China
