    after tuning and fitting new bits from Germany, my HW80 was turning out 26ft lbs using the gunshops chrongraph with cheaper pellets it was 23 ft/lbs the work was done by the gunsmith and he assured me that that is all he could get out of it, he also said that the new 80s dont tune as well as the old ones ( with the cut back forend) for some reason, it is the older model that I have, he said the newer models can only be tuned to 18 or 20 ft/lbs: at 26 ft/lbs,my rifle is a stunning performer an ...

    just bought my Weihrauch hw80 with telescope & I have fallen in love with this finely made air rifle, I hope more people enjoy this well made product, I consider my money well spent.I like the traditional & solidly made aspects of this air rifle, I'm glad I read review article's before making my choice of which rifle to buy. I'm confident the HW80 will see out my lifetime.

    only had my Weihrauch HW80 for about a year, picked it up cheap so i thought it might be fooked but after a trip to the doctors (bond & bywaters) he got the all clear. instant death to vermin and small animals even at range. very well built rifle and a good stock make this one of the best springers i have ever owned and used. it goes well with my co2 rifle when out hunting as a backup

    Weihrauch HW80 has lots of power,no airgun is ever built like the hw 80 in my 15 years of airgun experiance.
    perfect rifle for hunting and deadly accurate without a scope even at 50 yards..will recomend for every hunter who is serious into hunting.......happy hunting :-)

    The Weihrauch HW80 can be a twangy rifle if kept in its standard 12ft lbs tune for uk .which it wasnt really designed for. shoots at its best in FAC form ,tho a different spring guide can be fitted and a proper lube up to avoid the twangyness that a new rifle will provide.a very good and much loved rifle with its own cult following

    The Weihrauch HW80 is simply the best you can get for that kind of money!!
    Hard hitting even at long range. It's a little bit heavy, but it isn't a big problem
    If you are looking for a hunting rifle: HW 80 is the one!!!
    I have a ,22 and it`s the best airgun i 've ever own

    This is my first Air rifle i ever owned as a kid and apart from it being heavy you still cant fault it but for the weight accuracy is second to none and for long range shots i still put it in the top ten air rifles list ...

    Everyone should own one,Great value for money. Ive owned the HW 80 for some time now,packed with a Predator spring kicking out 28 pound, Custom hollowed but, carbine with silencer. These air rifles are by far the best.

    The Weighrauch HW80 air rifle is a great weapon. Venom tuned many years ago it was amazingly accurate. As for the guy on here saying he tuned his to 40 plus ft lbs his he on medication sumone tell him its not possible PS i am a gun smith !!!!!!!!!!!

    Have had my HW80 for more than 20 years . This last week fired a test series of 3 shots at 20 metres ( with the aid of a Tasco 3X scope sight) and all 3 shots were touching. I don't think many air rifles can better the HW80 for all-round performance - except for highly specialized target rifles. I used to target shoot with a .22 BSA International rifle - standing and kneeling as well as usual prone position and was individual champion at Manchester University in 1957. Also achieved a 10X at 50 m ...

    This is the best air rifle which you can buy that is under the legal limit before you need a firearms licence. Ive had one for 15 years only fitted new spring great air rifle. There is nothing bad about the Weihrauch HW80 air rifle.

    My favourite springer along with Webley`s Lonbow carbine. I would not part with this gun unless its for a lot of money! I would reccomend it to everyone who has £250 to spend and can tell you this rifle is like a member of my family, thats how highly I rate it! It is absolutely pin point and has very low recoil and will perform in all conditions, whether targeting or for hunting.
    BUY ONE TODAY!!!!!

    If kept at around 12-18 fp the recoil of the Weihrauch HW80 is as smooth as any other gun, after that it gets a bit clonky. This is one of the best guns on the market, ive owned hundreds of guns all sold on but ive always kept my 80

    The best gun i have owned and the most expensive one too the hw80k when the silencer is unscrewed is pretty short in length so can be hid in a rucksack for to be less conspicuous if your a bit paranoid of luggin a gun case about. does anyone know which pellets are best for the hw80 as logan penetrators are a bit dear , i used smk too and they are no good for this gun they are highly inaccurate.

    This gun is an animal .. at the mo im looking to buy another rifle but every time i think of one i measure it up against my hw80 and they just dont cut the mustard .. i have played with the internals on mine and its pushing 28flbs the power is unbelievable ( fac only ) i would say its the AK47 of air rifles ...brilliant i have owned var rifles but this is the best by miles
