    Good Points: Good power
    classic design
    accurate
    its a weihrauch


    Bad Points: Questionable trigger


    General comments: Pleasantly surprised by this un-trendy looking gun, it has a very user friendly feel, and surprised me with its level of accuracy and power, i don't own a chrono but at 6 yards it puts a pellet through both sides of a steel 'tin' can. (by steel i mean not a soft drinks can.)
    unfortunately it is only available in .177, but even so i reckon it would be useful for close quarter rat control if used accurately.
    although some people might think at £130 it is expensive this is a classic example of you get what you pay for, the build quality is superb and although it may not have all the bells and whistles of the co2 repeaters i feel that this is a gun that i will still be shooting in twenty years time.

    The Wiehrauch 70 is a good all around plinker easy to use and compact enough to put in a tackle box.

    I bought the pistol on name brand, power, and past experience with other HW products. For the first half tin of pellets, I was quite satisfied. Then the problem started. First, tiny cracks appeared at the top of the stock, right above the twin screws at the front. Next, the cracks got larger and small pieces broke off the front of the stock on both sides. Eventually, the stock cracked right down to the screw holes on both sides. All the while, I'd tried to ensure the screws were tight, but ...

    I purchased this Weihrauch HW 70 break barrel spring air pistol because it seemed well made, classic and timeless in design. Although it's a great overall plinking air poistol, I was dissapointed with the trigger mostly. It sure doen't feel like the advertised two-stage trigger. I found it temperamental and hard to adjust. The accuracy is so-so. My Nemesis shoots rings around it.

    Although overall the gun is quiet and has nice recoil, it does produce some internal vibration noise which makes i ...
