General Comments

Up until the point when i bought my Pro Sport the best springer i ever shot was the Weihrauch HW 97/77. But i'd heard so many good reviews on this gun, i thought i'd give it a go. I bought mine second hand with a nice custom stock on it for a very reasonable price. It has to be said that this rifle is the best looking springer on the market and i'd go as far as saying that it could well be the best looking rifle period. Everything about it is good, the build quality is second to none, i've heard that AA's blueing isn't up to much, but i can honestly say that i haven't found it to be the case with mine. It has a nice deep even blue finish. Upon firing it for the first time, i was surprised that the firing cycle was a bit on the lazy side compared to my 97. This gave me cause for concern at first, thinking that it might be a bit hold sensitive and convinced myself that i'd made a boo boo buying this gun. But that all changed when i took it to the club the following Sunday. It is so easy to hit knock down targets out to the max of 55 yards, i can even follow the flight of the pellet through the scope on its way to the target,for a spring gun that is pretty impressive. What surpises me also is although the lock time is slower than my 97 it doesn't seem to effect its down range accuracy at all, i actually find it easier to hit targets then with my 97. I would go as far as saying that i find it as easy to hit targets as if i was using an Air Arms TX SR, the recoil is a gentle nudge in the shoulder and it don't suffer too much from hold sensitvity. The only downside i would give this gun is the underlever, it can become rather sloppy but all you need to do is put some lock tite on the the thread and it will stay in place. I would definitely recommend this to other people.
