We take a close look at the Weihrauch HW98 Breakbarrel Air Rifles in both .177 and .25 Caliber. The HW98 is possibly the finest breakbarrel produced. We matched these with KONUS OPTICS. Are these scopes tough enough to withstand the double recoil? We give you a close-up on these optics and show you the overall performance of HW98. #staytunedforairgundetectives

Hi JC, I knew you had these two HW98's and was looking forward to seeing them in action in your hands . Five stars. I have a Hw 98 177 and it is just my favourite spring. It is on par with all the other fixed barrel ones I have, and I have some of the best on the market. Thanks for the great review my friend. Happy shooting, and have a great weekend!

@AirgunDetectives Год назад

Yes, sir! They are really nice rifles. One of my absolute favorites. Habit a great weekend 👍🏻😉

Weihrauch are thee rifles to start and end with, in my honest opinion, I bought the 'little brother' to these two, the HW30 in .177, and even this one, can let you pick off a common house fly at 20 metres. no problem! Thanks for the reviews JC, my favorite air rifles are lever or break barrel actions, hands down, soo I really enjoyed this video.

@AirgunDetectives Год назад

Scott, you are correct. These are like a fine Porsche, BMW, etc, compared to your average Hyundai. These are 100% German built, and the quality is 2nd to none. You truly get what you pay for. Not to mention, the REKORD trigger is unmatched, simply amazing. Thanks again for tuning in 👍🏻😉

@jimmynich4791 8 месяцев назад

The Hw98 & Hw95k are identical internally but different externally. 98 is more a target rifle, 95 is more for hunting.

@LHB33 Год назад

I bet the 98 in .177 would like 10.34 grain. I shoot a hw97k, hw98,and a tx200. As far as accuracy and triggers go on all three rifles? There's no difference between the 3. The only strong point to the TX200 over the hw's is the ease of breaking down the rifle. So when I hear someone say, the TX200 is the best, I simply have to say, "that's a matter of preference. ". And the hw's cost less. Looking forward to your top 5 break barrel review. Shoot some of those field target targets in your yard in the review 👍 Another great, right to the point review JC, cheers!

Go with .22 cal. You have an incredible selection of pellets. The larger caliber gives you more FPE and is over-all a quieter performer. .22 is actually my favorite caliber over-all. Happy Shooting 😉👍

But what you do have is amazing accuracy. So you can be extremely precise if used for hunting. The .25 caliber is a lot of fun, amazingly accurate, but if I could only choose one caliber, it would be .22. I like the massive choice of pellets. Happy Shooting 😉👍🏻

@peteralexben Год назад

the launch of the piston is the first recoil and the piston stop is the second .and sometimes the piston flex back a little more causes a vibration

@short-hand4312 Год назад

nice looking air gun. I don't like springers. I prefer the piston as more useable than a springer. springers cannot be pre-cocked as it will weaken the spring. target shooting yes. hunting NO.

@AirgunDetectives Год назад

Actually, it would take a very long time to weaken the spring. I wouldn't leave it cocked overnight, but a hunting session is no problem. Even after several years, if you had to replace the spring, they are extremely affordable. Not to mention, with a spring, you have the diversity of different tension levels if you want to decrease or increase velocity. Happy shooting, and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻

@Jeeper1378 Год назад

Whats does the tuning do if requested?

@AirgunDetectives Год назад

Hi Ken, tuning smooths out the operation of the rifle. A full-tune includes taking the rifle apart, honing the air chamber, installing a new piston seal, maybe a top-hat on the spring, properly lubricating, and usually some trigger work if necessary. It will reduce or eliminate spring noise and vibration. Makes it an incredible shooter. 😉👍🏻
