Just a little HW77K love

[Greenarrow]

Been rekindling the flame for my HW77K. It's wearing a new scope, sling and sling mounts. I've been practicing shooting offhand and from some trigger sticks standing at 25 yards. Just thought that I would share one of the things I've been doing with springers.

The 77s are normally open sighted guns with the traditional hunter stock with low comb cheek while the smoother lines of the scope only 97 has the higher cheek stock which some of the newer 77s seem to borrow.

Stocks and sights are the only differences, internally they are the same. 77 has sights 97 does not. FYI stock are totally interchangeable...

One of my beater old trunk gun 177 long 77s lost its ball bearing detent!

It is the second one I will have to fit a replacement ball bearing from the local bearing shop and hammer peen that replacement bsteel ball to keep that underlever latched in place!

What's up Weihrauch? 2x times already with a different HW77! First one was my daily use 77k.

 

[DualMagMike]

77 classics...

I really like those sporter style stocks you guys have on those older HW77s. The current HW77 has the bigger target type stock. I wish Weihrauch would offer the 77 in both styles of stocks.

 

[thumper]

The older stocks are certainly slimmer. Makes the gun feel a little lighter overall. And the MK1 and MK2 have hand cut checkering and a palm swell. 

But the new stocks have laser cut checking which I find as sharp as hand cut, and a higher cheekpiece. They do work better with a scope in my experience. Plus they are ambi for the southpaw guys. 

Both stocks have their perks. Don't feel shorted with either one.

Thank you kindly Mr. Legion! I should post some of those groups. Nothing to brag about but certainly minute of rabbit if needed.

Ha ha! I love those old style stocks. It’s a classic look that never gets old. Now go post a WTB ad and get you one!

 

[Greenarrow]

Nice gun and nice scope too!

Thank you Mr. Yo! I’m really liking this scope. It’s so compact and light. Clear too. I think the simple duplex reticle works great with this set up.

That’s a most excellent beauty you have there Chase! Wish I could get some squirrels or rabbits with mine. It’s all dialed in for 25 yards with the JSB 10.3s. What is your 77 shooting through it?
