That's exactly what I do, too. Neither Diana nor HW springers come in an usable (to me) state. Twangy and not spring powered but firearms (which you notice not at 5.5 but at 16 fps.) Sometimes the piston seal is defective. The result then is quite a new shooting cycle which has nothing do do...

:) For all the guys left on the left side of life :) Quite strange folks. In UK they use to drive the left side of life, at the Rhine river the right side is the left one (de schäl Sick)

Weihrauch did, if they did for the export market only.* Along BB Pelletier they couldn't design the 80 out of the 35 on their own they needed help from Dr. Robert Beeman (for just lengthening the piston stroke by 2cm) maybe it'd take two doctores now for 3.5 cm more stroke :) . Quite easy to...

I think the old Patriot or Beeman Kodiak would be enough to me. The Gamo 1250 Hunter is too ugly and the Diana 350 too long, both are too long. Don't trust in those Hatsan airguns. By the way, 30 mm piston diameter is well enough to me. Just an enhanced, long stroked HW80.

never came across me. Are they still available?

Wow, that Hatsan 125x30 mm gasram must be a monster. What is the Dual Magnum 2 stroke? A Theoben?

Barrel droop seems to occur at Weihrauch. 35 models always my E version was terribly so. the open sights didn't work any more, I had to cut the rear sight in order to avoid high shooting. Took off some metal and now it's quite ok. Such barrel droop leads to low elevation position in my case...

As said above, PCP is quite insensitive at hold. Springer is. The more the recoil the longer the lock time the more so. A recoilless R9 is hard to imagine or better impossible to attain. Recoil can be reduced by reducing the piston weight. And the impression of lower recoil can be attained by a)...

85 is same as 95 but it uses to come with tha longer barrel. Both are great at .177" But for ,22" and without power restriction I'd always take the 80

I don't mind if they are declared to be DISCONTINUED. Just got 5 cans of them, new, the best .177" pellets I know. And the misshapen slit ones in .22" are available, too. So. your discontinued thing is sort of relative

Yes. See to a barrel washer support of 3-4 pc for the barrel widths might not be consistent.

I'm doing more easily. In case of the Weihrauchs I keep the washer base. but that sort of base can easily made for any dia. and the guide itself I'm just looking for proper steel tubes, no matter if stainless or not for the outside diam (which shall fit the spring). Depending on the inner diam I...

That's a true magnum gun. I think the Gamo Hunter has similar stroke length and same piston dia. But the Beeman Kodiak looks better

That's not quite true. The HW 35 came in STL-look for a couple of years here. Maybe it still does. And be grateful for the named issue date. I had the same question about another model and the answer was: Sorry we don*t bother. This gives further evidence that they deal with their oversea stuff...

beautiful stocks the most beautiful 80's I've ever seen
