Weihrauch hw100

In the past couple of years quite a few people have had problems with .22 HW100 accuracy due to bad barrels. I don't know if the problem has been corrected. The sub par accuracy did not extend to the HW100 in .177.

weird tho because the brittish love them.

Also, the 0.22 shrouded, 12 groove, barrels are OK. The problem 0.22 HW100s have 6 groove barrels.

Could be because the Brits have the low power, 12 ft-lb, versions. The problems occur with the FAC (26 ft-lb) 0.22 with the 6 groove standard barrel.

Isn't there an official response from Weihrauch on this?

@Bluesstone are all the FSB 12 grooves, or do you have to look at each rifle to tell?

Cricket carbine will outperform the hw100.. know from experience. Just my 2 cents. Hw100 is good, but has too many drawbacks I think.

I'm pretty sure that all of the 0.22 FSB have 12 grooves and only the standard 0.22 has 6.
AFAIK there has never been an official response from Weihrauch.

Hi RJOS3PH,
About three years ago I bought a Weihrauch HW100 FSB in .22 cal. from Krale-Schietsport. It was a beautiful rifle and very well made...but it was not accurate past 25-30 yards. I was sorely disappointed with its lack of accuracy...it was really sad. I want you to know that I bought one can of every kind of .22 pellets available and none of them would produce a decent group at 50 yards. I don't know if Weihrauch is still using the same barrels now days, but that is a question maybe someone else can answer. 

I personally recommend the FX Streamline Walnut, and I also recommend you purchase yours from Airguns of Arizona...the service and advice is second to none. Here is a link for you to check it out for yourself: https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/precharged-pcp/fx-streamline-walnut/ I got one of these not long after I got rid of the HW100 and it is everything I had hoped it would be. The walnut stock is just beautiful and mine is laser accurate. I fitted mine with a Huma regulator and an Athlon Midas 2.5-15x50 SFP scope. I currently have it set up to shoot the 34gr. MKII at 800 ft/s which gives me 58 ft/lbs energy. And it has the power wheel that allows it to be set to high, medium, or low power.

The FX Streamline has so many wonderful features...it weighs 6.6 lbs. versus the HW100 weighs 7.9 lbs., and it also "points" perfectly when shouldered. I am in love with mine and will keep it for my lifetime...it is definitely an heirloom rifle. I recommend it in the very highest terms possible. I would not trade it for any other air rifle in the whole world...and I am not joking my friend. Here is a couple pics of mine: 

I have an HW100. I won't go into all the details in this post about the problems I had with it when I first got it, but you can read my two threads from the Weihrauch Owners Club forum:

HW100 .22 FAC Barrel Replacement: FX or LW?
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/weihrauchowners/hw100-22-fac-barrel-replacement-fx-or-lw-t24207.html

I love my HW100 now that I fixed the problem. If I had to do this all over again, I would buy the .22 FAC FSB version and replace the shroud with the Huggett moderator/shroud. It is as quiet as the original non-FSB version with a moderator.


There are lots of YouTube videos and information about how to work on these yourself. Parts are available.

I would not suggest this if you want it for accurate shooting at 100 yards.
I hope this helps.

RJOSEPH,
FX air rifles are like a beautiful woman…they may have a few eccentric moments and sometimes give us pause, but we who are in love with them wouldn’t trade them for the whole world. And I am truly blessed to own not one, but two of these gorgeous FX ladies. One of them is my Streamline…slim and sedate and well behaved. The other is my Wildcat…she is all curves and is very aptly named because she is a wild one! If you buy a Streamline get the .25 caliber. I don't think there are many .22 pcp air rifles that can compete with the accuracy of the Streamline when she is shooting her 34gr. MKII pellets! And she has three power settings to match whatever mood she may be in... ;-)
All the best, Chuck

Lets see if the Streamline becomes a legend like the HW100.
.22 barrels are available if you get unlucky, just over 100Euros which cant be said about FX barrels and liners.
LOL
lets meet here in 5 years, and show us what is left over from your streamline. HW100s many still going strong after 10years.

I prefer the mag design of the HW100 and how it fits into the action. Streamline? Yes but the ugly magazine is still poking out! Have you noticed typically the marketing pictures are with no mags fitted.
thats why I got 2:0 for Weihrauch

This is a biased site, sorry guys I had to bring the balance back where it should be. 
Back to the original question, shotcount depends on what power you are using, actually this gun is perfect if you use a hand pump especially in KT short format. Also i would avoid the US long barrel versions. get a 41cm max.
if you want to shoot 100yards, you will have to get larger calibers. That would be obviously not a hw100 since they dont make such. 

If you want to hear bias, check out the Weihrauch Owners Club. That's whereI got my information from.
I have a .177 HW100 that I like a lot, but I wouldn't risk a .22 even if it cost me only $100. Euros extra.

Not mate, there is straight talk over there not hiding anything. I know i am one of VunderWOCers, that is over 1000 posts. They messed up the forums layout so it is declining now though.
I have 2 pieces, I thought the original poster wants to hear direct first hand experience/input. The .22 I have got also has a BSA barrel fitted, it is a great airgun. Weihrauch lacks innovation, they did not come out with any bull pup for example. I moved on to other brand so my interests lie elsewhere, so i am not pushing anything really here. Honestly. Take care

I import hw in my country uruguay, never had a single problem with almost 15 hw100 .22. They tend to be pellet fussy below 41j but if you turn up the power to 880+ with jsb 18 they are as accurate as you can get. EI don’t know there but here if someone have a problem with a Weihrauch rifle, they can call me and I will either solve it or return the money so there is no risk for the user

I have hw100 fsb .22 41J 
Its as accurate as any .22 fx gun can be.
I also have fx royale 400 .22 but HW100 is really a masterpiece of German engineering. 

My HW100 is as accurate up to 100 yards as any .22 pcp can be.

I have been using hw100 .22 and fx royale 500 for quite some time. I did install a lw barrel in hw due to accuracy issues. After installing the barrel i am achieving half inch 10 shot groups at 50 yards. I also managed to win two competitions with hw100.

Why you didnt use the weihrauch original moderator for FSB as its very effective and i think that is better than hugget ?
