Weihrauch HW77 Review & Test Shooting 

Ik like the HW77/97 more than any PCP. Simple, reliable, accurate, good looking and timeless. You need just a HW springer and a tin with pellets for whole day fun. Bottles, compressors, hoses, and all other tralala that comes with a PCP makes it a no go for me. Thanks for this video!

Awesome you will fall head over heels for the 77 but be warned you will end up having an affair when you meet the 97 both are gorgeous . Good hunting from Gloucester Massachusetts

I have the exact same 77 as you ,in that colour way too ,it was sold as the HW77 special edition,I have a mate with the blue laminate stock on a 97 as they are nearly identical that’s some sexy looking gun

I love the sound of the mechanics when cocking and firing that gun. So soothing. Well done my friend! I love my 77 and my 97. 👊🏼

The last air rifle I owned was a BSA Meteor that had all the accuracy and power of a pea shooter in the hands of an asthmatic. I bought one of these last week and am delighted with it in spite of the fact that my hands aren't quite as steady as they were forty years ago. The only disappointment is that it doesn't come with a bayonet to compensate for my occasional wayward shot.

Another great review, thank you. I agree that they’re superb rifles. I have the 97KT and absolutely love it. Keep them coming please Richard, your no nonsense delivery and thorough reviewing style are a breath of fresh air.

My girlfriends dad has a 1984 HW77 in .22 and is still going strong. My gun is a 1997 mk2 TX200 hc in .22 and there is much in them. Both are great guns.

Hi mate. I have 2 HW 77k´s one in .177 and one in .22 . The .22 I bought used from a friend of mine and I ( my god friend and gunsmith in Germany) putt in a sub 12 coil and it is laser beam !! My .177 I already had it at FAC power( 17-18 fpe) from Germany too..... and it was 1000 % accurate at all distances up to 80 yds .... BUT it shoots way to hard!!! Fun just the first couple of shuts and after 20-30 shuts ,you know you feel it is to much ! The harmonics was not in the gun !!! So I ( me ) bought a sub 12 coil and putt some spacer between the spring and the piston ( no twang again !) and it is a day and night different and it is bang on 11.9 fpe !!!!!!!!!! + I did change the color of the stocks . The original beach stock is boring as hell!! I sanded those down and got " English Walnut " wax on these . 2 strokes !!! And it is hell god looking ! If you do not know it is a beach wood you mite think it is walnut !!! 💥😃 Next step are the cheek pieces . Original Sporter stock cheek rests are way to low with a scope . Even with medium Sports Match rings for a 50 mm scope !! Anyways, I will find a way to fix that problem !! Thanks for sharing these great videos ❗️Greetings from Norway !!

Just bought one at the weekend, and I love it.

Beautiful rifle Weihrauch make cracking rifles Definitely be on my wish list 👍

That stock is gorgeous ... and the gun on the whole is quality , looking forward to the HW97 review .. and the inevitable comparisons .. love these vids ..

Great video Richard : I too like the HW 77 been thinking about getting one for a while now, just one thing it would be nice of HW would fit a silencer to the rifle like the HW 97 model and preset using my HW99s had the HW97 a number years ago in. 22 calibre but the HW 77 I would favour 177 cal Regards Neil

Great review of probably one of the most accurate and well made spring piston air rifle's available! Well done!!...... subscribed!👍

I came here to learn what I could on this Weihrauch model HW77, I think it's perhaps the best review on this rifle that I have found. Good enough in fact, that I subscribed. I did enjoy the detail you have here. Thanks for this.

I have one of these. Mine favours the Crossman pellets. I get excellent groups with those😁 The only downside for me is the weight. Otherwise, I love it

Hi Richard, stunning rifle that stock is absolutely gorgeous I'm not sure but I think they call it the forest laminate pattern it's just adorable!. A life time of service right there no doubt, an absolute classic. Atb Dave

Nice to see you shooting old springers. You Mentioned the 80 90s underlevers. Have a look at the BSAs Goldstar and Superstar with rolling breech lovely peace of Engineering.

Nice gun .. probably one of the most reliable airguns... German build quality .. Good luck and happy shooting

When you have lots of practice with hw77/97 they will one hole group at 50 yards, but then as you said it still needs to bed in.

Good stuff mate! Im fortunate enough to have a tuned hw77k laminate. Also 2 hw97kt i love em! My hw97 stainless in 177 vglide tuned is crazy accurate can worry pcp,s!

From one Richard to another :-) nice detailed and informative review with much attention to safe handling of an airgun. I have a HW77 in Forest Green laminate FAC in .22cal. Might want to mention that you have pointed several time to the SAFETY catch being located on the breech. I believe the more accurate location is: on top of the 'action' of the airgun. Otherwise very well done.

Iv had had mine since 88 I think she needs some attention lol also got an older hw35 both awsome guns. Get brought on a fun target day. Since I got my AirArms s410 carbine they kinda got put to the side 😞 can't sell them still love them. Am I bad lol take care great review and great shooting 👍 👍 👍 😜 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🦄 🎣 😁 🤞 ✌️

WEIHRAUCH HW77 177 What is the most suitable ir scope for a rifle? Thanks !!!

Any idea where slings and a shoulder carry strap can be fitted to one of these ?

Hi. Just wondering what pellets did you use? Thanks for any info Stuart

Hi Richard, that looks a fab rifle, do you clean your barrels on new rifles before you shoot them this will go great with my HW100KT even though the laminate's are more expensive another top vlog. 👍

It was this hw77 same stock or the tx200 standard length with walnut stock ..I ended up with the tx200 ..I would still get this 77 in green ,but still waiting for the range to open

30 odd years.. Mine still going strong... Lovely stock....

Please kind people,Is the HW 77 better than the HW 97 in any department? I want to get a new Weihrauch and my local dealer, has only the 77 and the 80 in stock at 22 cal. If you could only have 1 and could only use open sights, which one would you get? 95 or maybe the 80?

I've had my 77k since 1995, I've went through loads of different guns both spring and pcp and even though I usually use my current pcp in the field, my 77k is the one gun I'll never part with. It's an absolute tack driver and as stated in your review. The trigger is almost unrivalled.

Excellent piece of kit!! You know, I have the same exact laminated 77 stock, only mine is a HW 97K... At first, I did a double take when I saw it at the gun shop, the gentleman from the shop (owner) mentioned that it was a Special Edition HW 97K (1.77 caliber) I fell head over heels for it , I ended up getting it of course. :-) Takes some getting use to, after shooting PCP's all day long, and getting spoiled, when you pick up the HW97K, and shoot it day after day, you really start to understand the rifle. And it IS super accurate!!!! That 77 stock is lovely, very comfortable indeed!! Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Good shooting, i have 3 weihrauch springers love them

Thank you so much for this. I was very confused as to how to put the safety back on once it was live. Couldn't find how to do it anywhere!!

I had a 77 for years. Then got rid and went over to PCP. Biggest mistake ever. I'm now going to get rid of the PCP rifle and will look for a 77 or 97.

Hi there! How many joules energy are you shooting with your HW77?

Excellent review with all the important points covered - Great work

are you shooting lead free pellets sounds like its breaking the speed of sound on video

Beautiful rifle. Great video. I've been looking at the laminate blue version to sit right next to my HFT500. I really think they will look stunning together 🔫👈😎

That be better be some tough varnish though, you would be a bit miffed marking the wood.

Great review, fantastic diction and vocabulary. Thank you.

10 shots of 4.52 mm pellets...ok.Its 0.177 inch caliber rifle. Thanks.

What fell off at 11:55?? Was it something off the scope??

I find the background sound makes it hard to hear you as it sets off my tinnitus. Can you try them without it please ?

How do you remove the iron sight? Mine won't slide of the back

Still got my Venom Lazaglide 77 with ‘custom’ walnut sporter stock.It’s a rifle I’ll never sell.I had a break from using it for several years so I put the first few shots through the chrono and it was spot on !

Sir can you do review of diana 280 spring airgun

Excellent review, the 77 is on my wish list. Have the 97, sublime.

Qual distância o senhor atirou? Nesse grupo do vídeo?

What's the music on 12:30?

Hm. I have The HW77k and shooting at around 30 meters in my yard. But my precision isnt like this.. What gives?

really fancy one of these. I had a 77 yrs ago, regret getting rid. I only hope, the new ones are as good?

Hello friend...have you listen that with the different versions of this airifle threre are different joules...???...For example other (less)...have the version of the 77 4.5mm...about 22.5j...and other (more) the 77 5.5mm...and others the versions with "k"...(with small barrel)..???...I want your opinion about this if you know because I am looking for the best rifle for me...for medium and long distance targets...but with no scope and open sights only...!!!

Wow. I really enjoyed your video on the hw77. Thank you. I’m in canada and trying to order an hw77k in .177 and a hw80slk in .22. Both full power fac versions. I never thought I’d say this but they are a great value here when I compare prices to a tx200. Theyre beautiful but mucho deniro here. Thanks for confirming my choice! Ill be watching many more of your RU-vid films. I tried the pcp world with an impact m3. Sooo much cost with all the compressors, bottles, etc. i also had a leak and had to send it back on warranty. I sold it after only a few months. Keeping all my weihrauchs and vintage crosman pistols.

Hi, I have an old BSA Meteor at the moment which is highly inaccurate. I would like a new rifle and I'm on a tight budget of about £200. A friend is offering to sell me his HW77K for £200. Do you think i should go ahead? Any help would be appreciated :)

Hi Sir, nice review and a beautiful rifle... got a question for you: it seems pretty loud from the video...talking about Muzzle Crack, not the mechanical "sound"...would you consider it backyard friendly?? Thank You

Cracking vid, loved it! Forgot how heavy the 77 is.....😂😂 I’ll have to get my batman to carry it for me.....😜 Loved the laminate stock and got one similar, with just enough discount to allow Welsh Willy to tune it up for me and not cost much more in pennies! I’ve subscribed and “rung the bell”.....👍🏻👍🏻🤪

It does make me smile when you go on about the hw77.... it's too expensive. ..its too heavy... and very awkward to load....especially if you have large....or cold hands... l have an hw57 same sub 12ftib...under lever.....same rekord triger.....easy and quick to load......and extremely accurate with ....or with out a scope....it is truly a wonderful little rifle along with my other rifle the amazing hw 99 unbelievably accurate With open sights......and above all they are very reasonably priced.

HW77 was the first air rifle I owned. purchased in1984. had to give it up in 2005 for reasons that were no fault of the gun, just purchased the model shown in this video forest green laminate HW77K and looking forward to shooting it for the next 20 years or so.

Good reviews 👍 but you need someone who's a better shot to do these guns justice

Just bought one. Fantastic! Who needs PCPs?!

Nice review. I'm a pcp shooter but I bought this exact same gun, as soon as I saw it I fell in love with it. It really is a beautiful looking gun. Rarely shoot it but love it.

If you ignore the flyer it's accuracy is in PCP territory.btw what camera do you use the colour grading looks amazing.looking at the colour science I may guess it's some Panasonic.

Which is the best pellet for this airgun rifle??

awesome

That like PCP precision. Love the stock too.

Great review, can you do a 10mt group please as I want to shoot it in comps. I am hoping it is a one hole shooter. Also what does the trigger come down to in weight as well please.

Great review Richard, I've just purchased the same gun as yours but with the weihrauch scope. I'm not overly keen on the safety button. I had my fingerless gloves on I'm left-handed cock the gun with my right I was finding that sometimes my gloves was stopping the gun from going into safe mode if my hand was just nearly touching the safety button without being aware of it at first The cocking of the gun doesn't seem strong enough to push thr safety button out if there's obstruction like part of my gloves. So you have to be more aware of it. I have a lot of guns and this is the only one to put it back in safe mode you have to re-cock the gun. What's your thoughts on it ? Thanks Brian

I am a lifelong user of spring powered air rifles. I tried PCPs and they are OK. However, when I feel like shooting, I select a Weihrauch, Walther, or a Diana underlever. No pumps, compressors, or gauges, just cock the rifle, aim, and fire. Simplicity and reliability rule with springers.

Thankyou for replying, still enjoying my1980 WH 77k it doesn't need a compressor!

Carabina HW77 é um sonho infelizmente aqui no Brasil é muito caro quase impossível comprar uma dessas, mas parabéns pelo vídeo.👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Ive just inherited my Grandads HW77 with open sights, Id like to fit a telescopic. Any recommendations for a sensible cost? Thanks!

I have the 77k and the 97k the shoot so good stock out of the box but the 77k had a small chip in the stock i came like that new out of the box. for me as a perfectionist i feel bad about this its on top near the loading port were the metal meets the wood. Is this normal? Greetings from the netherlands

Too many Umm or Urrhh talk on this video!Apart from that it was a decent video of a quality rifle!

Too much introduction..wasting time to watch ..most important to show how the rifle satisfied a future buyer.by its performance.

Good one , I review a couple of air guns on my channel , last was the 97 cheers shaneweightman

I’ve only been shooting for a couple of months, I started with a Hatsan 95. Today I ordered the HW77 with the same stock from your review. Can’t wait to get it. What scope do you have mounted on yours? Andy from Indiana

Can anyone tell me what they have found to be a good pellet to use .in the 77

What’s your personal favourite? I have a TX 200 and an HW77, I’ll be honest I can’t choose between them

I have the same stock on my hw97k it's really does feel nice I have a tx200 and a prosport but this is my favorite stock the rifle's I couldn't really separate in quality and performance just found your channel and subscribed very good reviews I'm looking at the bsa r10 I like springer's best but really like these been watching your reviews on them 👍👍

I bought this exact Rifle 3 day's ago, it's the forest green one. Also have the HW97K in blue laminate but my HW77K is my favourite, Good Video 😊

Great, I love my 97k in 22

Combien de joules votre hw 77 ?

seen the video but still I donot know the caliber of the rifle...bad luck.

Is that standard from factory or have you tuned it ?

Beautiful gun! I'll have one in about a week. Great review Mate! !

Hi can you note the differences between the 77 and the 97 in the next video. thanks

I have a 77 from the 1980 . But used my sharp innova more because it was so light, I haven't used these guns for 30 plus years , most get them out

Just wondering how do these rifles compare to BSA rifles ? Very good review by the way

Nice rifle and good shooting . I was wondering what the velocity was and foot pounds of energy it gave . Thanks for the video !

I've seen the HW77 green laminate both with and without the Weihrauch written in the for-end checkering. Any idea why some do and some don't? I have exactly this rifle coming to me this week and am hoping to get one with Weihrauch written on it.

Think I've just made up my mind on my next rife , great review. 👍

Excellent video thanks very much and like yourself i love that laminated stock

what's the muzzle velocity you guys get in the uk? 7,5J or more? cheers

Very nice rifle. I can see that becoming one of your favorites. A wonderful way to spend a nice sunny afternoon.

Lovely rifle and a great review. Do the open sights obscure the scope at all?

why the terrible music....unwatchable:(

Hello What is the scope on ? King regards Sir

You can buy blackline stocks and the hw77 will fit that one.

As always great video and review. The77 looked amazing in that stock!👌👍

Distance??
