HW/Weihrauch HW30 or Beeman R7

I had a bad piston seal going into it, so for me it made a world of difference. It was always a good shooting gun, even with a bad seal, but velocities were low and inconsistent. With the pg4 kit I now get very consistent velocities at right around 595 fps with H&N FTTs.
That's right around 7 fpe, which is fine because I wasn't looking for power. I probably wouldn't bother with the kit though unless you're unhappy with how it shoots, and c'mon it's an r7/hw30, who's not going to be happy with how it shoots?

I bought my R7 in 2021, but it was not new, the previous owner left it for several years in the back of an old barn, he said he and friends would get together on Friday and Saturday to drink beer and shoot mice, targets and cans. He said it took a lot of abuse in its day.
Today it is one of my favorites to shoot and has a better scope now which helps it be extremely accurate at 20+ yards.

If you are talking new Hw30s to R7s I'm not sure there's even a stock difference. Internally there's none. A Hw30 kit is the same as a R7. Get which ever you can in your caliber of choice. The wife and I have three Hw30s. All 177. Great guns.

Maybe it is just me, but I find the new method of marking the rifles to be off putting.
The simple stamping or engraving seems to be so much more fitting for their products, but evidently more expensive to perform......

I bought my R7 5 years ago. I does not have any iron sights nor is it drilled for them. I has a muzzle "brake" and the barrel is a bit shorter than the HW30s. It appears now that the HW 30 and the R7 both have open sights and same barrel length. The stocks are a bit different, though.

I'd buy a .20cal HW30 right now if I had the vision to see the iron sights. I had one 12 years ago, back when I had decent vision. Awesome air gun though.
