Great shooting and very informative review. Thanks for sharing this with us. Appreciate your reviews

Loving the show Mr Saunders 👍 Nice to see a brake barrel on the table for a change. Very tidy bit of kit. All the best 👍👍

Thanks Richard.

Very informative review, thanks for posting. I haven't used a springer rifle for years, but I do like the more classic styling of this one.

Great video , thanks for sharing very informative and enjoyable to watch , I have bought one of these and I'm over the moon with it , ( I put a tbt kit in mine and it transformed it to be very quiet with just the dull thud you mentioned ) Having watched your air arms prosport video I bought one of them too . Outstanding channel thanks again 👍

Been watching your videos for a while now. Always enjoy the talk through as it clear, not rushed and you know what your on about. One thing I noticed and this might be just me. When you cock a break barrel you mentioned about keeping your hand on the barrel, just in case it flys back when inserting a pellet. Since I was knee high to the common grass hopper I was taught to break but not fully cock. Place the pellet in, THEN fully cock when ready to put in the ready position. Other that that I’ve got to say keep these going as they are well informative for all calibre of shooters.

Hi Richard. I just bought one of these today after an exhaustive search for a springer! This video was very helpful with regards my final decision 👍

Great review, topical after our conversations last week! 😆 And from what little I know about springers, great shooting too Rich.

Good review & nice shooting. I own 3 weihrauch springers at the moment including a .22 hw95 had a problem with barrel flip probably due to the slower speed of a .22 pellet in the barrel so i replaced the whole barrel for a hw98 barrel which completely solved all accuracy problems. Great rifles.

Nice Shooting mate. 👍

Incredibly nice 😉👍. Love mine, I have one in 22.

Great Shooting got one my self cheers

Great video great detail keep it up mate

Great review, thanks

very good guns but by the right tuning can be made into a truly superb gun.My .22 hw95 was tuned in 2019 and is a pleasure to shoot .5p size groups at up to 45 yards is well within the guns capability.They are set up to produce about 15/16fpe and need to be tuned to our uk sub 12fpe to give their best.Do that and you will love it forever!

Wonderful videos. Like how you present the rifkes and convey their features.

Excellent video thanks for showing how it shoots 😎👍🏻

I'm really enjoying the HW95 Richard. I've managed to make an 18mtrs range at home and as a beginner I am getting 10p groups off a seat and tripod, so pretty happy for starters. Practice practice practice ! Air Arms Diablo Field work well, and Bisley Super Field are also pretty good. Thanks for all your help mate. ATB MMMD

Thanks for the review..I am a big fan of weihrauch air rifle and also I have hw95 k.

Great review as ever Rich👍. I had one of these back in the day when they were first released. Stupidly I sold it and had an itch to buy one ever since. Maybe the next one to hide from Mrs. JC😉!!

Richard. Great review of a classic. I’ve had a lot of fun shooting springers over last ten years. Currently I’m transitioning to PCP which I’m hoping will be just as enjoyable

These are cracking rifles I’ve had a 95 for about 10 years now and it’s one of my go to rifles along with the 99s which I bought new just before lockdown for £200 if my memory serves me correct, but prices seemed to have rocketed since!! I do own a couple of weihrauch pcp’s the 110 and the 100s but it’s always nice to go back to my roots by having a wonder with a springer and bringing a rabbit back for the pot.

Nice rifle. 🎯

Thanks for a comprehensive review. I have two 95s - one in .177 and one in .22 and love them. I've found that a heavier steel moderator (an old Parker Hale in my case) improves their accuracy. I guess that's probably because the additional weight dampens movement of the muzzle better. I managed 4 hits out of 6 shots on a metal knock down target at a measured 87 yards (gun rested on a cushion on a mild, still autumn day) with the .177. Was pretty pleased with that. I also find they are nicer to shoot if you drop the power a little to the low-mid 10 ft lb range. They become smoother and less snappy, especially the .177.

Great rifle, I've had 2 myself currently own a rat works tuned hw95 in .177. Little thud and right through the same hole 👍

Once again great video Richard, ive had my 95k 177 for a month now and sandwell tunned , absolutely love it now getting 5 pellets within a 5/10p piece at 30mtrs, the pcp is now put away for the time being, found qys streamlined and domed and hn trophy give good results, atb Mike.

Hi Richard. Great review👍🏻Yes I think weirauch springers are very impressive although I’ve never owned one. Definitely in the future though. Thanks again and Atb👍🏻😀

Very good rifle very useful info Nice rifle Just subscribed 👌

Thanks for the review. I have one of these and absolutely love it. In .22 there's less muzzle flip, and they really like to be tuned to get rid of the twang, control the recoil, quieten them down and dampen the hold sensitivity a bit (delrin top hat and spring guide, glided piston with delrin bearings added, full fettle, trigger tune.) You can get the pellets through the same hole shot after shot with these 95's with a bit of practice. Lovely gun!

Great review, I’ve just bought a .22 HW95 after along time away from air gun shooting. I use to own a HW35 as a kid which I really loved. Gutted I sold it!! But HW95 has made up for it. I just like the simplicity of a springer!!!

I have one. It's in 177 and maybe 15 years old? It shoots beautifully with none of the dreaded twang. Just a nice dull clunk as it goes off. Never getting rid of it.

thats how a quality german rifle should sound like.mein gott going to get one..have a good weekend break good video as always.

Hi,I have this model,and it’s with out doubt the best break barrel I have had in 47 years of owning air guns, love my Sheridan’s,sharps,but this is the one I pick up for pest work and just for fun...thanks for a good unhyped review.

My favorite air rifles are break barrel, aka 'springers' What a pity the only dealer I can find in Canada is almost totally sold out of the Weihrauch inventory. I have been waiting now for more than a year for their new inventory to arrive. I did wonder what these '95's' would be like now I know. Thanks for doing a review on this one. I do hope it would be too long before you do another break barrel rifle review. Thumbs up on this one for sure!

I was thinking of adding a bayonet to mine, was the only way i could hit anything, gave it to a friend who has being shooting almost 50 years, all air guns types and real guns, he couldn't hit nothing with it, long story short took a full tbt kit with short stroke and heavier moderator to sort, now its bang on, mines in .22 and apparently .177 is far worse, its quite a marmite gun some people get on with them no problems, others it just doest work, glad i finally fixed mine.

I've got a 177 hw95 ( Sandwell tuned) and it's the best air rifle I've owned 👍

Nice shooting 👍🏻

HW rifles are brilliant, I got my hw 80 .22 in the early 1980s and and used it on several farms clearing out feral pigeons rats and rabbits. I still have that rifle and it would still do that job but it’s me that can’t get around farms these days. Old age and waiting for new knee. Though it is still used on my 20yard range in the back garden along with a HW80 .177 and 2 BSA Ultras. The only thing that spoils it is the price of pellets these days also the good old Eley Wasp’s no longer made, I found that the slightly larger diameter of a UK .22 worked better than the EU .22 in my hw 80.

This week I just bought one. But I already own a HW77 and the HW98K, I think they work a way much better than HW95 but still a very nice rifle.

Got hw 95 she has never let me down still got now 15 to 20 years still going use mine for hunting for rabbits

THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO DO A .22 Rreakbarrel with 25 to 30 pound feet like the Hatsan 125. IF EVERYONE DEMANDS IT! They'll do it! We need a quality break barrel that can take game accurately at 100 yards!

Hi Richard, weirauch springers are amazing, I want to add one more hw to my collection, I'm torn between this and hw98, I like both, but I'm leaning towards the 98. Great review. Cheers

I have one of these and love it , another very good review 👍

Thank you for the video. Enjoy watching your appearances on the shooting show. I have one of these and use it on my permission for rats, pigeons, rabbits, squirrels. Its a great springer and so glad I did not buy a cheaper springer. If I ever go for a PCP I will purchase a HW 100KT as so impressed with the HW95K. Out of curiosity have you ever tested the ft/lbs through a chronograph for the HW95K with various pellets.

Just bought another today in .22 as l sold my other last year then instantly regretted it, definitely the best break barrel, so accurate and lightweight, these are easily as accurate as the 97.

How much😱 nahhh i drove up Newcastle yesterday in my camper from Redcar after 6 months travelling Scotland before returning home and bought the Hw95k from bagnells for £376 and amazing really accurate. Before it I bought a BSA lightning GRT XL es from keiths sports in saltburn and returned it after a day, terrible rifle that one. So yes, these days stick to weihrauch as I put pellet on pellet from my camper in pitch black under torch light from new, not sure it's got competition at the price point, the only thing I don't like but Ile get use to is that bloody safety catch that stops me pulling the trigger 😂 thanks for the vid

Melbourne guns in derbyshire have them for £365, i know I've just bought one in .177 , brilliant rifles, 😁👍

Hi Richard, just a quick update. My groups are often sub 5p with the 95K now at 20yrds, never far off if not. As you say, they take practice but you can be very accurate with these rifles. I have flicked the heads off a few wooden golf tees at 20yrds too. It's a beautiful gun when you start to bond with it. ATB MMMD

My Daystate Wolverine is up for sale.......WHY??? Because I can now shoot an 1.5 inch group with my HW95 at 100 yards consistently. Yes it took a lot of practice and concentration and a very light trigger. So yes, my HW95 is every bit as accurate as a PCP. If I wish to take it on a week long fishing trip I also have no concerns with air bottles and all that baggage. HW95 in my opinion is the very best springer ever made. Yep it takes a commitment to practice and learn, once you do it becomes second nature. Um.....er the 97 is its twin, just as accurate, just a bit heavy. Cheers Kit

Excellent review I have the hw 90 in .25 fun to shoot even tho I'm not a great shot but still drop my fair share of squirrels

I own one.... Extremely accurate rifle, I'm in Ireland so I needed a license, The is no limit on the power!, AMAZING Rifle !!

.In my humble oppinion you cannot have a collection without one of these in it We all know the germans make great guns.." .. they always have and the Air rifles are no differant. The 95 is my favorite springer full stop, beautifully made precision thats oozes quality the second you touch it. A must have rifle in your Collection. Buy one u will not be disappointed . Mine was out just yesterday my first shoot since shoulder surgery 7 weeks ago ... No there was no pain afterwards i hope that goes along wsy to say just how well they are made as trust major shoulder injury surgery is very very painfull. If you can shoot well with this , A high end pcp will make you the White Death " . 👍

Just bought one £365 brand new from Melbourne guns, hull cartrage marked , absolutely brilliant rifle ,

Best break barrel for me from the air rifles I've shot, I think is the LGV. I like the hw99s and Webley Longbow as well.

As an extra note with regards to cost of the hw95 vs cost of a equivalent pcp, there's also the cost of filling the pcp to factor in too.

Hi Richard , used to have one of these in 177 but part exchanged it as I couldn't get it to group , barely 2 inches at 20 yards on a good day 😒

Nice review if i was in the market for a break barrel Springer it would be one of these or a 98 ,i think the 98 has it on looks, 😁👍

Great vid , but I don't think I can comment really , the only Springer I've got is a 1974 BSA Mercury .. me old dad bought me back in the day .. certainly wouldn't sell it , and it's nowhere near as accurate as that weirauch , mind ya , never missed much back in the day .. none of those huge scopes either .. open sights the name of the game .. aahhhhh the good ole days .. had a permission over the back of my house .. miles of farmland and even more woodland .. big shopping mall now ( merry hill centre ) .. oh .. and a ( gorra be ) late 50's / early 60's Diana pistol .. been meaning to find it , amid an hundred ton of junk up the attic ... That was my grandad's .. great times ..

Lovely rifle, Richard, just look at that stock! Those silver scope mounts really set it off, also..... I have a Theoben break barrel in .22, just recently dug her out and mounted a Hawke scope on very similar mounts, its one of the gas-ram guns they made.

Great review always very informative, I've only been shooting for 3 months, i own a walther rm8 177, and a walther reign also 177, but im due to pick up mt hw 95 177 on Friday can't wait.

hi great review ,thinking of purchasing a 177,one question,is the trigger guard made of metal or plastic,thaks again

What scope are you using? What is the best scope for someone just starting out?.. your videos are a great help thank you for making this content.

My tuned 95 is a lazer

Nice vid. Sold a Hw77 with scope for £40 a year ago.....foolish I know. Have a question....why have most makers switched to carbine length barrels? ......Whether it be a springer Pcp or Co2 they are all doing it! I have a theory that a non carbine barrel length within reason is more accurate. I do understand that a longer barrel can increase the muzzle energy. Having said that I think the makers are cutting costs at the expense of accuracy due to ease of keeping UK rifles sub 12 flbs. It also saves on machining and transport if bought in due to weight. Could be an interesting topic for your Vlog!

I have the HW95 little bro, the HW 99s, it is solid but not over heavy. As I use it scoped, I circumcised it. Removing its foresight and made a faux moderator from bits of plumbing, enveloping it in a length of rubber innertube, a heavyweight condom if you like. That bit of extra weight reduced muzzle flip, and just maybe, reduced the twang somewhat. Like Casimodo, I have a hunch, that some of the twang is a consequence of not having absolute control of the inline barrel action. Maybe it's psychosomatic, all I can say is my HW99s shoots and sounds great. However, I would be curious to know if my DIY 'moderator' has any sound deadening effect.

Amazing that they don't even fit a top hat. Fitted a TBT kit in mine and it now shoots lovely, no more muzzle flip and smooth as can be. Great rifles. Would love to try a Walther, but am a fan of .20, so HW95 it has to be.

Another excellent review - do Weihrauch produce a spring powered FAC model in 0.22 ?

i have a hw 99s and depending on the pellet it is incredibly accurate , they are beautiful guns though and i cant see me ever selling mine

Richard Saunders -- 10:10 -- I know this part is about resetting the safety but can an HW rifle be decocked similar to a Diana? Great video by the way! 😉👍

Fabulous. I have a 98. Is it as good as the 95. Had it tuned by Tony Wall. West Brom

Ive just sold my Hatsan as thanks to you i have my eyes on an FX crown. On my permissions im using a break barrel on lend to me and i could never go back to permanently using one after using a pcp. I could take a shot at a rabbit with a pcp and the rabbits on otherside of the field wont mind, with a brake barrel it puts them off coming back for weeks!

Hello again .;))) My top notch air rifle about Weihrauch is the HW 98 because of the stock( walnut if available ) The other top air rifle I really !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! want to call my own is the Pro Sport from Air Arms !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know... what i´v seen about this gun kicks me so hard !!But the price hurts me as well . here in Norway it´s about 1200 british pounds! Crazy prices !!! I put a link to the shop who sell specially Air Arms .Any price you see divide by 10 ...maybe 11 ...so you have english pounds. cheers my friend :)

Hi does the silencer really work on this springer? Is there any noticeable difference in noise reduction with the silencer screwed on?? Thank You and keep doing these videos...I love 'em!

Try loading the pellet before cocking a break barrel, much safer than holding the barrel with a cocked action 😊👍

Thanks Richard do you recommend the Mamba scope on a rifle which has a fair old kick to it ? Looking for some expert advice been told that scopes can be damaged I have an HW 97K carbine and want a scope thanks again

I've just done similar groups with my HW 100KT, it actually becomes a bit boring, I'm about to collect a new underlever springer HW 57, a rifle I'm going to tune and polish seer and piston. I'm keen to tune out the boiiiiing and see if an HW moderator actually does make a significant difference.

Great review. If you get a regular luxus with a 410mm barrel and add the plug in silencer from weihrauch. Do you get the same résults on the sound ? Is the hw95k a 12 fts energy or 15 ??

I want a quality break barrel with iron sight

Hi Richard. What do you think of buying the RATWorks tuned version of this rifle? ATB MMMD

Hi Richard. I notice that you seem to cradle the front of the rifle in your palm. I seem to find it comfortable to raise the gun in my fingers, not tightly, but a bit like a posh waiter would hold a drinks tray. Is this okay if I maintain consistency? Thanks ATB MMMD

Can you review the HW98 rifle

I have just bought a fairly new .177 HW95 model. Lovely gun and seems far more accurate than my mk1 BSA supersport. Would love to get rid of the twang though. I converted my BSA to gas ram, so I’m sure I could fit a modification to the HW95. Any suggestions as to what to purchase?

one click to the right on the scope.

Well I got the 95K from a local RFD with a Hawke Vantage 3x9x40 AO scope. After less than an hour I was nailing bottle tops at 13mtrs free-standing. I absolutely love it, the trigger is incredible. Thank you for all your help Richard. I really do appreciate all your comments and advice. ATB MMMD

Heklo Richard, I was hoping you'd be able to help me with your opinion... Im looking at getting a Weihrauch HW80k or a Weihrauch HW95 Luxus, would you recommend one over the other or have a preference? Thanks, Steve

I have just purchased a HW99S, 50 years after my Airsporter was stolen when I was a teenager, Could you review one? The HW95K looks like it might qualify as the standard by which other springers might be judged.

Just put tape on the guide so the spring is snugh on tbe guide .

I have a hw95 and a hw110

Hi Richard just out of interest did or was this rifle tuned when you shot it or as i am guessing "out of the box" i have just got one in .22 and there is the twang but in your video i couldnt make it out. I will more than likley put a drop in kit at some point although it is a very accurate rifle off the bat.

Hello Richard . What a beautiful air gun !!! I own 2 HW 77k´s in .177 and .22 . Both in sub 12 configuration (maybe I told it before. can´t remember ) In the country I live there is no power restriction, but any cal. over .177 I need to fill out a firm and send it to the Police department;but no problem ! I´m a good guy !!:)) ... My notice is ; I´v got a air rifle from a good friend of mine and I did not see what brand it is before I removed the BSA scope 4x20 ( very blurry but original ) than I saw it is a BSA Super Meteor( rubber but pat and Monte Carlo stock) from 1967-1969 what I found out so fare. Serial number is ND 8116 Now my question ; can you confirm this after reading ? And what fpe these guns have had when they been produced ??? I shut thru the crony an I´v got 3.6 fpe with a 5.5grain lead free pellet . I think it´s an old(original ) mainspring in it. One last thing: can I switch the old spring with a new "Titan " sub 12 spring? Or ar 10 -12 fpe to much for this " Beauty " ? Oh... it is accurate as hell!! I putt on a red dot on it and up to 35 yds ....lights out! Also with open sights! I want to keep this gun because it´s my " first" Brake barrel after my Haenel Mod. 300 (GDR) wich I´v got from my dad 1975 (8 yrs old) Thanks for your patience and I hope you can help me about the questions I have !!!! Great´s from Norway :))

You can't beat the HW80K

I have a HW80 MK I .177 with a Vortek High Output kit in it. How does this HW95L compares to it? I find the HW80 is a too heavy for dragging around and it takes time to learn to shoot it well. I still can't get rid of the 1 on 10 or so flyer due to inconsistency in the shooting cycle on my end. I'm hesitating to buy a HW95L in the hope that it's lighter and a bit more 'forgivable' on a less experienced shooter. Would you recommend the .177 or .22?

👍😎

Walther lgv competition ultra.

I've owned a hw99s in 177 for around a year now. Would it be worth upgrading to this rifle? Is this easier to cock than the 99s too? I find mine hard to cock.

Kirkless gun shop Huddersfield £365.00 177 and 22

Hi I've just brought my first ever springer its a 177 hw 95, im very new to air rifle shooting and was wondering what the average price would be to have it tuned.

Won't it knock that zoom scope to pieces after a while? Owned something similar as a teenager, but I'd go for a 4x32 if i ever bought another air rifle - it's a short range gun.

Nice review. What is the cocking weight? It looks easy for you! Is it legal in the U.K.? Do you need a license? what about carrying it around? Poor rabbits and pigeons!
