my first weihrauch

[sticman77]

finally decided to get a 50s that i've been eyeing for a while. first non budget springer... it's nice to shoot . i really should have just bought one of these first, like everybody says

also glad i didn't go with the hunter. seems quiet enough as is for the backyard

Love that stock, very different.

Love that stock, very different.

thanks i do too! ...now i'm going to be extra careful about dinging it for a while, because it's pretty unique

 

[Bravo1956]

You will love it! It does take a while to break in, but you will notice a difference once it is.

I have several nice and tuned springers but this has become my fav, soooo easy to shoot accurately.

Congratulations on the HW. They are great springers.

Looks nice Can't see what caliber, but my .22 is very quiet as you said. I said the same thing. Should have just got one from the start, haha. Glad I did get one, though. And glad you got one, too! Happy shooting 

 

[sticman77]

Bravo - i've gotten about 200 pellets through it, and seems to be shooting accurate already!

LGD - it's a .177. holdovers are something i'm still not great at, and wanted the least amount of loop for this fpe level. will be a target/squirrel/bird gun, so i think the 177 should be enough

Congrats! That's a VERY COOL beech stock that you scored! The HW50 is my favorite springer.

Great choice. I believe you’re going to be really happy with your HW50. I actually chose .22 for mine so that I could knock over steel targets at longer range. I may be a bit odd but I’m looking forward to calculating the dope and dropping pellets on steel out at 50 plus yards. I won’t be hunting with it so slight errors and misses will be part of the fun.

Sticman77 congrats on the new HW50. I have 2 in .22 and love mine. That is an amazing beech stock. Factory stocks usually plain Jane and boring. Enjoy! ARH had some nice walnut stocks pretty cheap. I ordered 2 for mine when they were available.

 

[sticman77]

once i get the .177 at this fpe down, a .22 may be in the future for the reasons Kgphotos stated. any excuse to keep shooting

GY and mj - i was very happy with the stock when i pulled it out. i was already looking for something like a walnut stock before i had it in hand... but am no longer looking after i saw this unique spotty stripey guy!

would love to see your stocks mj!

 I’ve only owned 4 Springers and the HW 50 is by far my favorite. I don’t need to use the artillery hold.Just go out and shoot it and it will hit what you’re aiming at every time.

Yep, that's what I love about mine too. I've had an RWS34PC, HW57, HW77, HW97K, and an AATX200 - all of them were hold sensitive. My HW50 shoots the same whehter its offhand, off a bipod, or off a rest. Love it!

My2 HW50 ‘s with ARH walnut stocks

 

[Kgphotos]

Those walnut stocks are really really nice. Definitely takes the rifle up a few notches on the beauty scale.

The 1 on the right with the lighter stock I got off of GB from ARH nobody bid on it . It was brand new box labeled HW50EL. The other I had and bought the stock separately.

 

[luckybuckeye]

Congrats on the Weihrauch hw50 they are awesome guns. I have the Hunter in .22 along with a HW97k . The HW50s is the perfect size and weight for its power level. I prefer to carry it in the field over the HW97k.

My latest is the HW50 in .20 after shooting the HW50 extensively in .177 and then .22. I felt between .177 and .22 was the zone for me to at least try since I am a .20 fan anyway.

There are more powerful ones and maybe more accurate ones but this HW50S in .20 took the best of both worlds--.177 accuracy and .22 power--and joined them truly into one that is more than 100%.



luckybuckeye I also have the HW97K in .20 that I forgot to mention when I joined here talking about the HW50S .20! I never use it anymore because it's a T stock making it impossible for a field gun. Besides that reloading and cocking is way too many things to do with it as an underlever weighing as much as it does.

I found the HW98 .20 to be way better for the field and target. And the HW50S .20 in the new cutaway stock!

 

[Jamesbythebay]

beautiful stock.

 

[Fischer]

You have the latest "stocked" version of the HW50 with the cut away buttstock that I have in .20 from AOA.

This rifle stock and design tops the old one.

This caliber I have it in (.20) makes it the best single owned pellet rifle in all existence before we go all out for HW98s.
