Matt's Country - Is the Weihrauch HW100 worth owning? 

Just found this video as I was wondering if others appreciate the hw100 kt as much as I do. I’m on my fourth if I count the 100s I owned. But recently I bought another as I absolutely love them and have never let me down. The last one I owned was in 22 with the green synthetic stock but I’ve decided to go for 177 as I bought an air arms s510 tactical in 177 and it changed my thoughts on continuing with 22 when 177 has a flatter trajectory and was flipping rabbits over at silly distances and that was it I’m 177 in all of my airguns apart from two which is my hw 97k blue laminate and my HW 95k. Which are in 22 My others which are a new walnut leftie pro sport which is on another level! and another hw95k and another hw97 k. Anyhow back to the hw100 kt, I traded my synthetic 22 in the new one which is in the new style walnut stock and honestly I’ve never seen an airgun ever with such beautiful grain, the stock is one you’d expect to find on a high end shotgun it’s so nice and in the shop when I saw it at Gilsans of Yorkshire who I know very well had on the advert for it beautiful stock first to see will buy and I was straight on the phone saying don’t let it go I’m on my way now! It is a thing of beauty though absolutely outstanding and even better with a rub of oil. The accuracy of these hw100 kT’s in fact all of the 100 line are spot on and I’ve never had a problem with any of mine. This one I own now in 177 is producing groups less than the size of a 5pence piece sat resting at 35 yards using Hades all day long and I have it married with the Sightmark wraith 2-16x28 and it’s a great setup. Now tonight was my first night actually using it for vermin control as a farmer had asked me to pop along to one of his buildings as he’d seen some rat droppings but I sat for two hours and didn’t see one rat but I popped the gun over into his field where there was a rabbit sat at what seemed to be a fair distance and thought there’s no chance of me hitting that at that distance but I took aim with two mil dots holdover and sent the pellet down the barrel and it struck the rabbit with a crack and it lept about a foot in the air landing stone dead. I’d hit it right dead centre between the ears and I paced it out and I paced 48 yards. Now for an old duffer like me it was one hell of a shot and again the hw100 kt brought home the bacon or in my case the rabbit which I’ll be having for my dinner tomorrow evening. These Weihrauch hw100 kt’s I believe are the best out there and worth every penny and they work and work ever time as long as we do our bit and our bit by looking after them.

Have a HW100KT 2021 model with a beautiful tiger striped walnut stock like yours. It is hands down the best rifle I have ever owned. Tough, accurate, powerful, reliable and quality everywhere you look. Pound for pound the best rifle you can currently buy in my opinion.

Anything Made buy WEIRAUCH is worth owning , great vid 👍🍻

I have a Weihrauch hw100s and i can honestly say that this rifle is laser accurate, i put all 14 shots through the same hole at 30 yards with no problem, and with only a 310mm barrel i can't complain about accuracy. The build quality and engineering are superb as you would expect from Wiehrauch, it's a rifle i will never get rid of.

I would buy it in a heartbeat, if only it had a 'classic' stock. Too bad I'm oldschool.

You know my views on them matt.. I adore mine.. Will never part with it.. its like an extention of my arm. I like how short it is but i fitted a a-tech wave silencer which is shorter than the standard weihrauch one by an inch easy and it's as quiet if not quieter and only 35 quid or something. The loading mechanism is a work of art and had a one pellet system so you cant accidentally double load it. The safety like all weihrauch safety catches is superb and reliable, a Beautiful working tool are these guns.. a must have. And hey.. we all leak occasionally 😂

Glad you are happy with it. Had mine also second hand for about 10 years. Doesn't really get used much but just like my bike these days but it's a prized position. Also not that I really have the need but I feel that I should treat the old girl to a buddy bottle conversion as to make a bit more interesting and custom.

That stock is very nice, and the mag function is pretty cool too. I have the Hawke Vantage IR Riflescope 4-16x50 but recently I bought an Arken Optics SH4 GEN2 4-16X50. I was about to recommend it, because here, it is dirt cheap(USA), but I just looked up UK prices and its... well. LOL, I just deleted a paragraph of info on it and how blown away I was for the price, but it is not really relevant now. haha

I have the laminate adustable version but i ahouks have got the walnut. Laminate looks nasty when it's been dinged and has this hazy broken glue look where its damaged. I also needed no asjustment in the cheek or butt piece, as it turns out, so a waste of money for the stock for me. With that said, the gun is top quality, amazingly accurate and simply hard to beat.

"I've never shot myself in the face" .... I've just spat my tea out all over my laptop 😂😭

Great review and channel buddy,subbed , and very likely will be doing a review on an almost identical one on my channel next wk , cheers shane

Oh , did you do a video on taking gun to pieces , to replace seal ? Hopefully you did , cheers shane

I could imagine if HW redesigned this rifle by adding bigger plenum, bottle and power adjustability, that would be the ultimate airrifle ever made by human, considering that build quality and the engineering has been put to this rifle is the top notch!

Bought mine brand new in 2010! It has been an incredible rifle! Soo reliable and still looks brand new! I use Napier gun oil and a lint free cloth!

I've put a few coats of bees wax on mine brings the grain out beautiful plus it waterproofs it.

do you still use it and is this uk version or fac version?

Nice new gun mate, it looks a cracking thing, I've owned a few different ones over the years but never a hw100, I may have to invent a need 😉

I can only say that i agree on all counts, my only slight niggle is the overall weight at arms length, but you can't have some thing so well engineered and solid any lighter i suppose . 2 months later....Got to add this bit , Just taken possession of the .22 100 regulated with lighter cylinder, Ratworks tuned, i put a lighter scope on, reduced weight and point of balance considerably no more niggles lads..spot on.

Could I ask a question please? Where are people buying and selling air rifles in the uk? There must be somewhere online in the uk where they are bought and sold. I used to have the HW95K and regret selling it. I’ve as my to get back into target shooting and it’s a toss up between this and the BSA R12. I do love a bit of German 🇩🇪 engineering.

I have the bullpup version in.177, it easily outshoots any other gun in it's price range and a lot at half as much again. I'm currently in the market for a .22 and think I should try something other than a Weihrauch (I have an hw97 too) but I keep coming back to the hw100, they are just the most reliable and, frankly, best airgun platform on the market.

The superior BC of the .20 JSB 15.89 over any .177 and .22 pellets, makes this calibre the ultimate for accurate, medium power applications ...Oops, the cat is out of the bag now.

Have a .20/5.0mm hw100kt myself ( stocks not as nice as yours though)had several bits and bobs done by hw100 tuning which made a good gun a great one.my go-to vermin gun, which also has a day out on the FT course.👍

I’ve a Leshiy 2, a FX and an air arms but my HW 100 out performs them all and looks better in my opinion as well.

I have two HW 100 KT one old & one new both 22. & I prefer the old second hand one I bought from my neighbour. Cracking guns I also have the 77 & 97, Cheers Tippo.

Very pricey but I will own one in the USA 🇺🇸 market that is not limited to power.🤠

Love this channel mate please continue enlightening us , many thanks

Great review on a brilliant rifle can I ask you how much you paid for it.and what gun shop as I am after the same gun.thank you👍👌

Also can't double load. Won't turn mag if you try to cock before firing.😅

How much fps with rws hobby pellet?What kind of scope?Thanks

That is a very old rifle. Many upgrades have happened since that gun was new.

All gun repairs far cheaper than gunsmith especially hw100 if you live Tameside near Ashton under Lyne. Shop seal change £100-£180 My mate abt £50

Stunning looker Matt, i own one and the shoot just as good as look, Cheers 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

Stock looks well, mine is better now I have oiled it, have the same scope on mine.

Is it legal to use in france? I think they allow 20 joules which is about 15ftlbs coukd affect the accuracy. I have kt laminate 177. Quite a thing to behold

I have the hw100 ks, great gun

It’s a beauty and yes i subscribed. By the way i own a old walther lg55 with Tyrolean stock and double trigger.a old 50s 60s 10 meter competition rifle with a diopter.also a keeper like your beauty 😉👍

FANTASTIC rifle , as it happens I took mine too the range today to try some pellets I hadn't used before , And it goes without saying , it was BOB - ON ... ( .20 cal , 15.89grn rangemaster Emperors )

Lovely video Matt

I have one in 1 77 cal lovely gun that’s for sure had a a 510 before that and it out shoots that 😊

Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Easily the best on the market except the weight ha

Vorrei cortesemente conoscere la marca e le caratteristiche dell' ottica montata sulla carabina. Grazie.

Very nice!

Is it worth owning...another question...have they changed it much over the years...if it's not broken then you know exactly what to do...one of the best I've owned and a silencer included...I wish more would follow the idea..more videos like this please
