    HW100 or PRO SPORT? Need a quiet air riflle

    I shoot targets with my 50 Joule model HW100S. 22 and the birds in my yard completely ignore it. Yesterday afternoon a squirrel was playing between the 50 and 75 yard target stops and didn't move until I got up to change targets. The factory Weihrauch moderator is incredibly effective.

    Oh Crap...No more MP-5

    That test prompted me to try the Hornady One Shot and the WD40 Specialist Rust Inhibitor. Both are excellent products that work. I use the WD40 Inhibitor on all blued steel gun surfaces. The One Shot is a little difficult to use on large surfaces as it is an aerosol product with a fast...

    Oh Crap...No more MP-5

    I believe so, I am obsolete! They change the name on products too much.

    Oh Crap...No more MP-5

    MP5 is about the same as Birchwood Casey Sheath.

    Mega cool rifle. 👍

    Is it just me?

    It hasn't been a problem with the Weihrauch HW100S that I have.

    Pellet samples

    Definitely needs separated by caliber. Someone like me who uses only .22 would be wasting money on others.

    What's your favorite squirrel shot?

    I definitely prefer to take headshots. I find the easiest for me are from a side profile, less chance of the projectile entering the body. If a head shot seems improbable I will take a chest shot, preferably just behind the shoulders so that it gets the heart and lungs for an instant kill just...

    New JSB Hades Monster 22 cal...not for long range...

    Ten shots into a half inch at fifty yards would make a superb squirrel killer.

    Is PA selling firearm ammo now?

    What's going downhill about PA? They still sell all of the airgun products that they always have? Now they've expanded their business and are offering a large amount of outdoors related gear. If they don't offer the best price on something there's always a competitor out there. I like to see...

    HW/Weihrauch And sister makes three

    I had a .177 Beeman RX1 for a time right after they first came out. It was actually an RX; the ram blew and I called Beeman about repair. They were wanting to install new parts in the ram to upgrade the rifle to an RX1 at no charge while they had it for repairs plus offered me a discount on a...

    HW/Weihrauch And sister makes three

    Snap ring pliers might remove the lock. Looks like the rifle would have came with the lock removal tool. Any gun shops nearby? They might can remove it.

    Lost in the attic

    The Winchester 52, Marlin 39 and Daystate LR90 are particularly gorgeous. :love:

    Manufacturer listed ballistic coefficient

    Something is off there, as wadcutter pellets have extremely poor ballistic coefficients.

    Baracuda 18 VS. Baracuda "Match" 21

    Ballistic coefficient information that I can find on the Baracuda 18 is .029, while the JSB 18 is .035. Cannot find anything on the Baracuda 15. Baracuda Match 21 gr information says .035 so the nose shape isn't exactly inferior; it has been a much loved pellet for many years. The JSB 18 is the...

    Baracuda 18 VS. Baracuda "Match" 21

    I realize that this is an example of one, but from my Weihrauch HW100S the Barracuda Match 21 in the 5.52mm size is significantly more accurate than the Barracuda 18. I would definitely want to try a tin of the heavier pellets before ordering a bunch either weight as it is impossible to be...

    What Scope are you running?

    I have a Hawke Vantage Side Focus 4-16x44mm on my HW100S. I have thought about getting an Athlon Argos HMR 2-12x 42mm; sometimes when squirrel hunting the shots are up close or on moving targets and wider field of view would be welcome. Magnification over 12 is only rarely used.

    .22 JSB Jumbo Monster Light and Grand

    My HW100S is about 30 fps less than that with those pellets; it does average of 925 with the H&N Barracuda Match so I would assume around the same with the similar weight JSBs. If the BC is better they would be worth a try. The rifle's best accuracy so far has been with those two JSBs with 18.13...

    What will be your last, air rifle acquisition ?

    I probably have it already unless I happily stumble across a large sum of money; a Weihrauch HW100S. I may or may not flip flop on scopes or try different pellets but the rifle itself does exactly what I wanted in airgun.

    Evanix AR6

    I recently got some JSB Monsters to test out in my HW100S so while I was shooting them I thought that I would try those in my AR6 rifle. Fall out of the cylinders from too small diameter and impacts at fifty yards were all over a sheet of paper. Years ago I had tried Skenco Newboy Seniors and...
