Hey, no need to get defensive or jump to conclusions. I'm not here to bash the HW97. I actually love it. So much so that I own two: a 2012 model in .177 and a 2023 model in .22 :) It's true that the '23 .22 model uses slightly lower-grade metals, a poorer piston seal (I've had to replace mine...

Until recently, Weihrauch seemed like a better deal, even if it needed tuning to get it as smooth as a standard TX. Air Arms raised their prices to maintain quality, but Weihrauch chose to keep their prices steady while cutting manufacturing costs. However, that strategy could't last forever, so...

Very much back in vogue, especially in the UK fetching quite the dosh lately. Would also keep it. On of the few "old" pcp's that can still hang with todays offering.

Thats almost certain the breech seal failing

I agree to most of your points. My silly comment was only with regard to fact i never trust whatever comes out of a CEO's mouth regarding own product is all :) Sidenote: as far as you can trust stats, Gamo is still the biggest selling brand in airguns as they have been for over a decade.

Dude from the kebab corner told me there was no evidence his servings were not fresh. And then i was on the loo for 2 days....

That breech block o-ring is a crush install fit from factory and one of the four most common seals that fail. If it fails again the correct size is 12 x 1 NBR70.
