cgrats. I have my heart set on 1 myself. I keep passing up other buys,like the Walter Parrus at AOA for $150. Lol,my worry is,once I get it I'll quit shooting my other 2 springers.

New hw 95 L
- Thread starter cody2306
- Start date
The R9/HW95 was the last of the Beeman R series I had left to collect. I got it in .22 thinking it might do well in FT on the windier days I liked it enough to try it in .177 and in .20 as well, all are bought used. I added barrel sleeves like the ones on the R11/HW98 on 2 and some other tweaks and ultimately turned the .20 into and R11. Great rifles that can be tuned up or down and accessorized/customized nicely.

I bought the vortek pg2 kit but don't think I'm gonna install it for a while. Bjt just got it to have on hand incase I ever do decode to install and do the polishing tune thing.

Hey cody2306, I was wondering if you had some time to shoot your HW95 and what you thought. I just got one myself. I've got 200+ rounds through it. Its settling in nice. The spring is noisy for sure! Kinda like my 1980 Diana Original 45. "BAERNFF"! But, it is proving accurate AND with different pellets. I just put my trusty Bug Buster on it for now.

I've tried a few pelets but mines seems to be shooting the most accurate with the predator gtos. It sure is really accurate rifle.

Next time you're pellet shopping, you might consider trying the Air Arms Falcons. They were one suggested by Greenarrow quite a long time back and one that turned out to be even more accurate than the H&N FTT 5.54 head size mine also shoots very well.

Nothing but great feedback on the 95. I don’t own one, but it’s my next Weihrauch in my sights. None available in Canada now, so I’ll have to be patient. Wicked Beaman’s Mike, really like the R11, probably cause I have a 98, which is my easiest smoothest break barrel. Thanks all-Crow

Cody2306, I'll give those Predators a try.
Will put the AA Falcons on the list and the HN FTTs. Its my first Weihrauch and do REALLY like it. The Rekord is really good. I have only lightened the pull. Every here and there, I feel a teeny creep. I am trying to just leave innards alone and break her in, but the twang is a calling.
I like it enough that I might HAVE to get that HW98 in .177 I've been eying for a while!

Thanks Bogey!
I made that stock myself from a black walnut blank. It’s finished with a flooring finish called WATERLOX Original.

Try some Air Venturi Tune-In-A-Tube. Should help get rid of some if not all of the twang so you can have fun until you're really ready to take it down for a full out tune.

Thanks Scp52
. I have a bit of Vortek clear tar that should help. I'll slip a top hat in as well. I have read the factory spring is pretty decent. After spending a bit of trigger time with it, I can imagine how much better it can get. When the time comes, I might put in an ARH spring kit. I put a couple ARH kits in a couple of Diana 36 I have and like the results. I put a Vortek kit in a .22 Diana 34 and liked that one as well. Both kits were different but nice.
