I have a Weihrauch HW90 which is a 6.3mm/.25 and I am not sure what the maximum filling pressure for this air rifle without damaging the system, can anyone help?

on 27th Dec 2005Hello Chris,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I use a Hawke Airmax ( HK 3209 Airmax 4-12x44AO ) scope on Dampa mount .ChrisNorway
on 5th Jan 2006Thank you very much! And a happy new year to you, too! I tried a Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40, but that was no success, so I will change to another scope. I was not able to zero it in. I also used a dampa mount, but it made a dent and scratches on the scope. The mount also moves on the gun. Do you use any kind of scope stop? To this gun I will recommend the H&N Field Target&Trophy .25 cal. Do you hunt with this airgun?

on 9th Jan 2006Hello Chris,
Like you i use a Dampa mount with my scope on my HW90. I solved the scope creep by inserting two studs into the base of the mount. The first stud was a threaded screw which I inserted into the hole beneath the rear U- shaped cup of the mount. It took me half a day to get a right serew and then to file the screw head down to precisely the correct fit as it has to sit snugly into the rearmost shallow hole at the rear of the gun. My rifle has three such holes. After a few more hours of patient work I removed the plate that holds the resting cups of the mount and drilled a hole right over where the middle hole is on the rifle. Through this i inserted another flat bottomed screw. the problem was that the head of this screw was sticking outat the top and I could not put the two plates of the mount flush back. I solved this problem by using a larger drill bit to make a bed for the head of the screw. Now the two bottom parts of the screws sit in the holes of the rifle. the rearmost and the centre holes. No more scope creep and works like a dream.
If you need to get in touch with me I could e-mail a photo if the mount to you.

on 18th Jan 2006Sorry, I have to correct myself. The maximum filling pressure is 26 bar!
Chris
The max pressure is 28 bar. I also own a HW90. What kind of scope do you use?
