Raining out like crazy yesterday afternoon here in New England. Perfect day to get the HW55 out for some indoor range time. Mine is in my shop basement. 20 yards of fun!! I use a homemade trap filled with ballistic putty. Super quiet and no lead dust.
Got out the HW55M and went to town. It was like I never put it down since the last rotation. Always amazed by the tiny groups. I always think the same thought....why did they ever make any other model after this laser of a rifle. Seems perfect.
My friend Mike arrived and we broke out his freshly restored HW55M. His is the model without the lock up mechanism. Very rare! It had just come back to life after being found in a horrible state of disrepair. New bluing and a stock refinish and boy oh boy is it gorgeous!!
I got to try it out and managed to put 4 out of 5 in one very tiny hole with the Weihrauch match sites. Incredible! Especially when you consider that it's not broken in yet.
Funny how the hours pass when you get some range time in with your friends . Seemed like a short time but turned out to be over 4 hours of shooting fun. Trying different pellets and different shooting styles with each rifle to see what they do provided us with an interesting day.
I hope the HW55 people appreciate what I'm saying . Here's a pic of the 2 rifles. Both of these were restored by Scott Blair from Airguntunes.com. The quality level of the workmanship is very impressive....IMO. He also upgraded all the internals with modern seals and springs. So, these rifles are good to go for many years to come.
