HW/Weihrauch One out, one left to sell and one incoming. That's my last air rifle. For real this time.

This week I sold my R8. My R1 is still up for sale in the classifieds and someone with a Hw50 found my WTB on the classifieds. The Hw50 looks good and the deal is pretty much set. The classifieds here work.

The Hw50 will bring my Weihrauch count back to 13. When the R1 sells it'll bring me back down to a more comfortable (for me) even 12. It's hard to even justify 12. Only 2 are used with any regularity. I'll occasionally rotate a third in there. I should probably sell a couple more to get down to a nice even 10. I could live without my 97 but I can't think of another one I'd sell at the moment.

I'm looking forward to softening up the 50 and putting peeps on it. It'll be a slightly bigger version of my favorite Pellet rifle. My peep sighted Hw30.

They poured the cement for my outbuilding /shop yesterday.

Yeah Ron,
I've got 13 as well and really only shoot 3 or 4 of them enough to justify keeping ...... lately mostly into my CZ 457 22 LR.
For some reason the things I collect are guns, guitars and movies .... & tools. I spend the bulk of my free time making/ working on things in the shop .

Your new building looks nice, a great place to relax and create ;).

My wife has one. An American Sporter I bought it for her birthday when they first came out and all the die hard CZ guys were poo pooing them. Now they love them. Herr's has been great.

Yeah, because the wind can be pretty rough in Spokane, I thought I'd get something with more power.
Just got a Lilja Match barrel ... too many rabbit holes o_O .

It’s Concrete, not Cement. lol.
My daughter-in-law owns a pre-casting Concrete company. She busts my chops when I call it Cement. She says, Cement is in Concrete but it’s not Cement! Nice building Ron. I’ve been thinking of something like that too.

Ha ha, last rifle. Ground hog day.
Love your build. 15 ft. ceiling. Impressive. I need one a little smaller. Great spot for a golf simulator. Good luck. Crow

Thanks 30'x40' foot print, two stories. 20 x30 guest quarters up stairs. 15x20 shop below that. Garage doors at both ends of the 40' for drive through and easy access to stuff. This has been planned for three years.

I used to shoot 10 yards in my basement. It was good that I could tune and test right there. It was bad because it makes you feel like you're a hero. Sitting at a table its pretty common to get one pellet sized round hole five shot groups at ten yards. Then reality hits when you go outdoors and shoot 25-50 yards. 10 yards is so easy it gets boring, but it was great for tune testing.
