You got me into these Weihrauch springers so I came back for more. BTW - Clausty's are the best non alcohol beer going, another good choice. You're doing what I like to do, just sit, plink and have a beer in the yard. My situation is a bit different since I have almost no foliaged, I'm really suburban/urban. So I turn on the TV with some football, basketball, or golf ....have a beer and plink mostly with my HW30 & HW50. That's my idea of multi-tasking. Oh ya when I'm done then take a nap. A perfect day!
@@marcmyers1465 Why do you prefer 50 over 95, if you don't mind me asking? I am thinking of adding one of those to my small collection (only HW30S) and cannot decide which one to get. Thanks
@@bojannovkovic8818Sorry for the late reply, Sir. I just really enjoy the weight, length, and handling of the HW50S. 😉👌 I am primarily a hunter and am constantly trying to refine the perfect Carbine, and the HW50S just fits the niche so perfectly ! 😁 For short close range ground clearing a .22 HW50S with a 2-7 Airmax scope is hard to beat, but at 40 to 50 yards you really want to consider the HW50S in .177 with an Airmax 3-9 and just go with heavier pellets. Now, mind you I would NOT turn my nose up to a .22 HW95K Field Pro with the (True Carbine) threaded barrel, and an Optisan CP 3-12×32 w/ BKL 388 adjustable C- mount... ☺️
Just looking through my collection today and my wife said you need to let some go. So i went and bought a bsa superstar in .25 i really needed that rifle and i have been looking for one ever since my brother had one from new back in the day.
@marcmyers1465 it was just one of those out the blue phone calls, I had been looking at an old original 50 underlever and almost bought it until I chronographed it and it was literally giving 3ftlbs. I thought it would just be the leather washer until I noticed a bulge an inch or so near the tap, I can only think it must of been dieseling and that had caused the issue. Anyway fate intervened and I have the rifle in the calibre I was looking for, so I am over the moon and can't wait to get it out on Tuesday when I pick it up.
@@roberttaylor6075Folks always made light of the SuperStar's somewhat agricultural appearance compared to the other sleek rifles of it's day, but the sheer reliability of the format was undeniable !

Dear Kevin Thank you for your video. I agree the HW 30 is a lot of fun to shoot... I have managed to collect four of them over the years...say no more! Kind regards.
I too have found that my HW30 and HW50 are truly great rifles to shoot with. I've been waiting for the Canadian dealer for Weihrauch to replenish his stock as I want to order the HW97 . I will order one as soon as he gets them in. Thanks for this and I agree that you simply do need more than one air rifle.
For me, the perfect Airgun is also the HW50s and directly followed by the HW35E. Both are great, very accurate, and reliable guns. The 50s is so lightweight and the 35E looks so awesome.
I know what you mean, I have the same 3 guns. They are really good...but I would probably also consider TX200 and HW35E in the top. When shooting my HW35 and HW35E it is pure Joy...the smooth cocking and soundless closing ...adds to the superb quality feel of Weihrauch.
If I were to have an air rifle, it would be my webley tracker 22. It weighs little, is flexible, has the power and precision you need and a beautiful walnut stock, what more could you ask for.
I just bought the R7 .. I'm thinking of TX 200 but I had the HW 97 blue , you right HW97 is stupid accuracy 😂😂.. I had that for 6 yrs.. still a dime ten shot at 30 yards.. Your stock look better .. I like it Sir..
Hi Kevin, What a great choice. I have a 97,77,80,35E and 35. Beautiful quality and engineering. Always a pleasure to pick any of them up to shoot. Hate to have to choose between them. Keep filming. David U.K.
Hi Kevin! Great choice my friend. I would have picked almost the same trio from my collection. Only for hunting i would not have taken the HW50 but the HW35E instead because it,s more quiet to cock and i like to have a gunsling out in the woods. Thanks for showing the best springers money can buy 👌 I hope it will never happen to me that i have to pick only one i could keep 😨😵💫
Hi Ron! The 35E is a terrific choice for hunting, and I believe that it was designed with hunting in mind. The only thing that puts me off is the weight. If I was a younger man, the weight would be less of an issue. Thanks as always, my friend.
All those rifles you have are beautiful, and you’re right the hw97 is just a wonderful gun and I also like HW 95, it’s a Tac driver, and never lets me down!!
The 35 is a proven design and a classic air rifle. I'm certain that it fills your needs as a serious hunting gun quite well. Thanks as always, my friend.
I have some springers that I really like, all in .177, I don't like .22 springers. I have some absolutely fantastic ones like a TX200, FWB 300, an HW85, two HW50s, one from 2017 and another from 1974 where I don't use scope, this one I use for plinking. If I had to choose just one, I would definitely go with the 2017 HW50. In addition to the ones I mentioned, I have others but the 50 is the springer with which I can do whatever I want and it does it well.
Hi again great video as usual, my under leaver is my hw 77 that I have had for possibly some 30 years, its in 177 and was tuned and modified at Venom arms of Birmingham, legendary airgun tuners here in the UK 🇬🇧, at present waiting for a limited edition 50 s to arrive at my local gun shop, so many toys not enough time , stay safe cheers for now
Hi, Anthony. That 57 is a sweet rifle. Anything that Venom got their hands on is pretty special. Congratulations on a fine gun. That 50S is one of my favorites. Nice weight : power ratio. Good choice. As always, thanks for watching, my friend.
Hw97 for target, Hw80 (beeman R1 in USA I think) for timeless traditional power. The 35 is very close though.. for pleasure plinking fun.. the cheapest Chinese break barrel tuned for smoothness and no twang! Also a crown polish helps :)
@@razor1962 I've an HW 35k .. very old with a leather washer, had a HW 97 it was superb! Now I can't get out much and my club closed I gave it to a good friend. Had an Air Arms TX200 great gun too..but the lock open catch wound me up and the trigger group, although very good, is no Rekord. The cheapo Chinese break barrel..well it's currently the cheapest air rifle for sale in UK! I bought it for the enjoyment of tuning a very rough gun. Lots of polishing, making guides, barrel crown and polish is like a different gun! Down tuned for plinking and it has decent iron sights. Great fun for blasting beer cans etc while enjoying a BBQ and beer in the garden..and it's tough as an old boot so it doesn't matter if it gets knocked about:)
@mark70s29 OK, Mark, now I understand. There's a lot of you in that little Chinese springer. You've invested much time and care. Makes perfect sense and a fine choice as well.
I have 2 out of your 3 choices and in my opinion my go to rifle is the hw97 in 22. It never loses zero and have shot multiple pigeons with it. They never get back up to fly off. As to weight I fitted a sling so it isn't a problem carrying in the field. I have 2 hw97k's in 22 and 177 and also the hw30. Plus I have numerous hw77's in various set ups. I have a hw80 too but find it too hold sensitive to take out in the field.
That's an impressive arsenal, Steve. Although I'd consider it a bit too heavy as a field gun, I imagine that in the proper (strong) hands that it would be a formidable hunter.
I have a Beeman R7 tuned by Paul Watts, a Walthers LGV Master in .22 and a FWB 300S Mini. I sold a HW 97K, great rifle but too heavy and I didn't bond with it. I also sold a HW 80. My best group has been with the R7 at 20 yds--1/8" center to center. Basically just one small hole. I did some fly hunting at 20 yds with the Walthers .22-got four and a "possible". How does one attract flies to white paper you ask? See my dogs for the answer 🙂
I'm way ahead of ya' on the fly bait, Mike. Great minds, my friend, great minds... I'm not surprised to hear of the accuracy of your R7. Mine is amazing as well. The 97K is a heavy gun, for sure. Especially when you add the type of scope that it deserves. My LVG is a tack driver. My only complaint on all of my Walther rifles is the safety system. I've removed the safeties all together on 3 of my 4 Walther rifles. The fourth gun will fire when the safety is disengaged if you were absent-minded and pulled the trigger while the safety was engaged. Anyway, thanks for watching, my friend.
The 97 was the most expensive of my ARs, probably the most accurate and certainly the one most admired in the AR community. And yet it was the one I enjoyed shooting the least. I've been in the Dark World of PBs for the last 10 years but my Springer interest has been rejuvenated, The Lust has returned 🙂 Glad I found your channel.@@razor1962
I'm with you! In almost all my wftf piston competitions, I use my hw97s . Pretty much, a top choice IMHO. The only thing that the tx200 has on the hw's is the ease of breaking down and reassemble time,, really that's it!
@@marcmyers1465 I have a tx200 that I shoot and don't get me wrong the rifle is very well made but what really bothered me was ? You spend all that money on the rifle then you figure out you need a short stroke piston for it, because it's way, way to hold sensitive and the spring is junk. So after all that, then you can shoot the rifle accurate. Literally, with my hw97s I simply adjusted the trigger and dropped a vortek 12fpe spring in the rifles and that was it. They still out shoot my tx200.
@@SpringGunner13My own experience was quite similar I went through seven rifles over the years for F/T. I started with an HW97K, and ended up with an HW97K and I won't miss 5 of those... 😉
@@marcmyers1465 I have to give a shout out to Cameron who won the WFTF world championships this year, congratulations!!! Here's some irony for you Marc, especially with our conversation about the hw97k. Cameron won with his TX200!
I almost asked this question on another of your videos. I have a 97 and 95 in.177 and they are amazing to shoot. I also have a hw 80 in .22 which also shoots well, but not quite as well. Really like your channel.
if l had to keep one it would be my sheridan c from 1971 classic air gun. .20 cal perfect pellet gun. open sights just a very cool air gun. walnut and brass sheridan built those to last a life time. stronger than what they were used for. sherdian back in the day crafted a perfect air gun.
That's like having to choose your favorite child. Each one has it's particular niche and does it very well. It seems the marketing of othe manufacturers puts too much emphasis on high velocity but what counts is accuracy. This is why some overlook the HW50s
Speed is overrated. That's what airguns are supposed to prove. Somewhere along the line, the "More Is Better" mentality infected the sport. The 50S does everything that a field gun should do, and it does it well.
@@razor1962Most of the younger guys didn't get the Memo... 🤷🏼♂️ Robert Law went to a great deal of trouble laying it all out for folks back before The Great Magnum War. Even the Veterans of the Great War were eventually overrun by the Inevitable PCP war that followed... 😟 That was really more of a Special Operation to mop up the Super Magnum subversives though ? 🤔
Great video Kevin! I couldn't agree more.... My HW30s is also my favorite all rounder. No effort to cock, silky smooth firing cycle with hardly any recoil! And most importantly- very accurate!! It will give most high end pcp's a run for its money out to 30 yards! Thanks for sharing and have super day!
We have almost all the same guns and your selection is a great guide for someone getting into air rifles and I would agree in your selections and why. I have three HW95s in each of the calibers and find its a happy compromise of power and good weight. My favorite gun is my FWB150 and I would never get rid of it. It will place pellet after pellet in the same hole and will also sit for days and be right on. I think this has to do with spring tension changing from sitting. Some of mine need 10 shots without adjustment to come back to zero but it's interesting that you mention it. If someone asks me what I pull off the shelf the most it's one of my HW30/R7. They are just so much fun to shoot. I have replaced the stocks on them because I feel cramped by the smaller factory stocks. All of my guns are tuned which I feel is necessary to preserve and to get the best accuracy. You should do a video for those getting into this on caliber selection, pellet testing, scopes and tuning.
enjoy your videos . classic question and it depends. Had all the current spring and gas strut(hw90) hw models except the current model 50S. Agree about hw97, easy to be accurate with . Favorite ...perhaps . I have after many years fallen back in love with the hw35 and bought a new one a couple of years ago, about 10 ftlbs in 0177. Currently all my hws are in 0177. Used to really like models from Diana,BSA and Airarms (even had the break barrel Pro Elite) . Think the Airarms TX would be equal to the best of the HWs. TX s are absolutely easier to service.Interesting how some models just feels better in a certain caliber .
Thanks very much, my friend. As far as the stainless look is concerned, to be truthful, I prefer blued steel. However, I can perfectly understand someone else preferring the nickle plated version. I have a custom stocked HW50S in nickle. It really makes for an attractive rifle.
Great video Kevin, and I absolutely agree, it's hard to choose just the one, my top 3 would be exactly the same, however, I'd be torn between the 50s and the 95k, the 50 gets it on the weight but the 95 is such a good alrounder. PS the German beer goes well with your selection.👍👍👍
@bojannovkovic8818 Either choice is a good one. The 95 has the edge in power. However, it's at the expense of extra weight. Are you considering it for hunting or just for fun? Personally, I like the 50S as I feel that it's the perfect compromise between power and weight in a small game hunting package.
@@razor1962 Hi There, I'm lucky enough to have both the 50s and the 95k, but where I am in Spain it is illegal to hunt with air so I am a target shooter only, both are a pleasure to shoot, the 30s and the 97k are equally spot on, 4 rifles I would never sell. All 4 are exceptional, each for there own reasons.
Those Meteors were wonderful rifles. I still have my first air rifle, too. It's a Sheridan Blue Streak pump pneumatic that my father bought for me 49 years ago, and it still works perfectly. I understand exactly why you won't part with your Meteor. Thanks for watching, my friend.
I have all three of them, and I couldn't agree more that they are wonderful. but personally, I would prefer AATX200HC over the HW97K. My TX200HC is more accurate than HW97k don't know why.
Many of our U.K. subscribers will lament your local power restrictions, but the fact is You Blokes have gotten So Very Good at Tuning, Working, and Shooting within those parameters that it's Absolutely Amazing the things that you can actually do within those parameters on a daily basis ! 😲 Just setting the rifle up at the prescribed levels you have become so adept at tuning, scoping, and competing "Specifically" and even detuning to arrive at Optimum firing Characteristics & Accuracy you've created a Bloody Art Form out of the HW50S... 😳 It is Seriously Impressive ! 👏... Well Done !!! 😃👍 I know you've done the same for multiple formats over the years, but by comparison many shooters over here in the states can barely tell you from day to day what their rifles output actually is ? 🤷🏼♂️ Many don't even Own a Chrony or have any intended level of performance other than Max. FAC... 🤦🏼♂️ They may want Accuracy or Hunting results but in the absence of that intimate understanding of their own rifle they honestly don't have a clue how to get their. 😏 The best most can hope for is to purchase an off the shelf kit, install it and hope for the best! 🙏 WELL ?... That's not actually tuning, Mate. 😊 The U.K. may have legislated, and regulated limitations, but you lot a made the Very Best out of the situation. I am Consistently Impressed by our U.K. and Euro subscribers... 👏👏👏
Hey Kevin, Thanks again for a great video. By the way, what type of scope do you have on your airguns? Are they all the same brand, model, and type? I'm trying to get an idea on what to budget for my kids if I get them each their own HW, scope, sling, soft case, and ammo. Both of my kids are going to be joining JROTC and the NRA and I want to make sure that they enjoy every minute of it. I doubt I will be buying everything at once. But I think once they start shooting they will really love it. So I want to make sure to start them off with quality products and gear. Thanks again. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Hi Ken. That's great that your kids will be involved in the shooting sports. A Weihrauch is a gift that will last a lifetime and then some. I use use a wide range of scopes on my guns. Most of my Weihrauchs wear Hawke Airmax scopes. I'm particularly fond of their 4- 12 X 40mm. On the more affordable end , I've had good luck with the Hammers 4-12 as well. My 97K sports an Aztec Emerald 3-18 X 50. There are a lot of choices in every conceivable price range. Still, you can't go wrong with a Hawke. Thanks as always, my friend.
@@razor1962 Hey Kevin, Thanks again for your prompt reply. I will look into those scope models. It's always a real pleasure watching your videos. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Awesome video showing all 3 beatiful guns and i agree with you with the HW97K being a great accurate rifle and beatiful but it is just so heavy and the only time i enjoy taking it with me shooting is when i take my shooting table with me to bench shoot with bags other wise i dont like taking it. If i had a table in my yard with property that i can shoot at with out my nosy ass neighbors not bothering me then i would shoot it a lot more.
I agree John. The 97K is definitely best suited to bench shooting. However, it holds it own in Field Target too. It's definitely not an ideal hunting or plinking rifle.
For sheer convenience, weight and handling... Either the HW50S or HW95K ? 🤔 The accuracy is all there you just have to be honest with yourself about your most common or desired range, and naturally your own abilities, but most folks might be shocked to learn just how EASY it is for them to shoot a properly fitted and sorted rifle with the correct optic ! 😉 Weihrauch never would have built all of these rifles if the HW97K was perfect for everyone. Put 250 rounds through an HW97 in one session and she becomes a Brutal mistress ! 😖
I love your video channel and ive only just discovered it. Im not what you would call a man who is out regularly shooting. In fact my number one hobby has been flying rc model aeroplanes for the last 38 years at my local club. But if i go back to 1988 i decided i would love to buy an air riffle , so i went to my local gun shop and the owner of the store sold me a Weihrauch HW 35. At that stage it was 10 years of age and here me are in 2024 and that air riffle is still shooting strong. After watching a couple of your videos i would like to buy either HW 50s or a HW 97k. I think maybe for the type of shooting i do , then the HW 50 s maybe the right gun for me as i just use it was target shooting and i dont go hunting. Keep up the good work, i will always tune in. Do you think the HW 50s would suit me after shooting with the HW 35 for the last 36 years? Kind regards.
They still make the 35 and the 35E. Just sayin '... Although the stocks have changed somewhat. It'll be a tough act to follow, for sure. After having owned a model 35, I doubt that you'd be satisfied with a 50S. Don't get me wrong, the 50S is a terrific rifle, but the 35 is unmatched in its elegance and reputation. Of course, I don't need to sell you on the rifle. You know the rifle. If, on the other hand, you're just looking for something different, consider that 97K. It's heavy, but it's tack driver. Just my thoughts on the matter. Thanks so much for watching, my friend.
Thank you so much for that good advice. Im going to look at the 97k. I Ithink thats the riffle with the under lever. The old hw35 has served me well. Im looking for something a bit different and the 97k could be the one. Its a nice looking riffle.Just one more question, my old 35 was .22. Would you advise me this time round to go for the 97k in 177 calibre? Kind regards. @@razor1962
@easystar123 How old are you, my friend? If you're up around my age where most of my viewers are, then I'd recommend a .22 for no other reason than the fact that it's easier for us "older folks" to manipulate and to load. You'll find a few videos on my channel that feature the 97. One of my only complaints is that it's a little "fumbly" to load, and mine is a .22 . If you're a little younger, I'd say it's more a matter of personal preference if you're just shooting out back.
Hi Kevin,I agree with you,I own all three air Rifles,all weihrauch Rifles are my favourite even there air pistols. What's your favourite air pistol?maybe do a favourite pistol video
Doesn't surprise my that you went all German, they do make the best rifles, maybe the best of most things 😂 I understand about the rifle not falling into place the same every time..... Just picked up a mid 1970s Anschutz 54 match, I'm making a new square edged cheek piece to match my modern target rifle.... The original rounded cheek piece, I can never get my view through the diopter the same when I go back to the gun.
Heavy, accurate, and very powerful. Insanely good trigger and solid German craftsmanship. If you don't mind lugging around better than 10 lbs, it's probably closer to 12 lbs with a scope installed. it's a hammer. Recommend it in .22 cal.
Hi. Great video. I have the HW95K and I am extremely happy with it. Great looking rifle and beautifully made. Take care and keep producing these great videos.
Optisan CP 3-12×32 or Hawke compact 3-12×40 but both are pricey. The Airmax 2-7×42, 3-9×40 are good alternatives. 🤔 On the cheap... Hawke 2-7×32 AO IR is a Bargain ! 😉👍
Short scopes with 32mm objectives just don't suffer parallax issues and allow you to mount low over bore for minimal scope cant. With practice anything under 60 yards, you pretty much own it. Allot of guys create their own misery and multiply their errors with Big Ole Honkin scopes ! 🤷🏼♂️
@@hillbillysportsman5818A .22 HW95k is in my opinion "The" perfect all around hunting Springer. This makes it kinda critical to pick a Scope that's it's equal ??? 🤔 In my opinion clicking and ranging are superfluous for hunting. When guys put high mag. Scopes on a hunting rifle, they are building error into their rig. 2-7's and 3-9's have always been the Gold Standard for hunting in the field based on hard nuts results over the years. For the HW95 if you have to spend equal to the cost of the Rifle... well it likely deserves it. If you manage to find a decent scope for less, you got lucky ! 😉 From a completely analytical point of view, optimally you want a scope with a 32mm objective, a 30mm tube, at appx. 10" length. That's just simple math to minimize Parallax, and scope cant, but a True Springer rated scope will always cost you money. Both the Airmax AMX, and Optisan MH10 reticles are relatively uncluttered and allow you to easily scale, and visualize your holdover, and hold off points without d!cking around with your scope ! 😉 Both scope lines have good glass, but the Optisan is a little nicer, and also has the edge on size and weight. 🤷🏼♂️
Hi Koenraad. It's good to hear from you. For some folks, choosing the one gun that they would keep is an easy choice. I'm glad that you are happy with yours. Thanks as always, my friend.

I've got a BSA carbine. I was told that it's called a Supersport Magnum Carbine, but I have been unable to find any info on it. It doesn't look at all like a Supersport.

@@razor1962 Thanks for your detailed reply, it's much appreciated. Yes I'm new and enjoyed your video, I was just a bit surprised that all three guns were of the same make. Especially for us none USA viewers it would have been nice to know what they cost. By the way I also like springers.
Have to respectfully disagree about the HW being best quality. 20yrs ago maybe but there are widely documented issues with decline in manufacturering quality of present day HW's (internal finish especially). Not to mention the widely documented gauling issues with the 99's & 35. Not saying HW are not decent guns & they are accurate, but saying they are of a quality 2nd to none is stretching it. Put a 97 next to a TX200 or Pro-Sport & tell me HW are better finished. HW's from the 80's through to early 2000's are better guns & cannot be faulted (other than those with gauling). In the end it's what suits you though and what you enjoy shooting 👍
You make some good points, my friend, but if the 97 weren't the gun to beat, the TX200 would never have been developed. Their trigger alone is about as close to a copyright infringement as you can get without a lawsuit. 🤣 I know that there are some quality issues with some of the newer guns, but I respectfully stand by my choices. I'm sure that the feedback that Weihrauch is receiving will rectify the issues. A company like Weihrauch thrives because of its reputation. You're more than welcome to your opinion, however, and your choices are valid. AirArms guns are absolutely finished to a higher standard, no argument there. Thanks so much for watching, my friend.
Air Arms are definitely better finished, but that's reflected in the price. You could get a nicely tuned and fettled HW97K for far less than a factory TX200.
I've found that many of the alleged galling issues are In Fact Regurgitated Forum Flotsam ! Generally third hand, friend of a friend of a friend Bollocks... 🤷🏼♂️ Rifle should have been properly sorted before it became a problem but more bloody likely that's precisely "How" the problem started to begin with ! 😉
Word to the wise... When your "Drop In Kit" manufacturer tells you to modify your rifle or remove factory parts to accommodate "Their" kit, and when their "Customer Service" is actually very little more than blaming the results on the rifle.

First of all, JP, it's not an advertisement. I own and have shot several varieties of airguns over the years. These choices were PERSONAL choices and are not recommendations. I state my reasons for choosing each rifle. They're MY thoughts, MY opinions, and the video is about what ( I ) would choose. 2nd, I welcome alternative choices and encourage viewers to name the gun(s) that they'd keep. 3rd, I am NOT sponsored by anyone. Nobody pays me to produce this content. I have spent a lot of time, money, and effort to provide this content free of charge to whoever cares to watch. If you think what you're seeing here on the channel is "ridiculous," then by all means, move along because the last thing that I need is for someone to chime in only to say that my choices are unfair due to the fact that each of them is from the same manufacturer. I'm sorry if I didn't mention your choice.This video wasn't created with the intent to sell anything to anyone. It's simply a matter of which airguns that I PERSONALLY would not part with.

The FWB 124/127 is the Standard I hold all Springers up to. Optimal weight, Handling, and Accuracy. Buttery firing characteristics, easy to cock. Best power to weight ratio of any Springer. 😃👍
