Hello Steve mate,i was wondering if you could tell me as I've just this week bought a 100 KT and I'm noticing it doesn't hit full power until around 175bar,being told it's the best regg'd air gun shouldn't it be consistent from 200bar until obviously getting to low on air.just wondering whether I need to go back to the shop,thanks in advance Rob,s.wales.
Best air rifle I’ve ever owned, I have a 100kt in .177 and I’m a lefty, love the cocking mechanism and when shooting rested on bipod or bag I load with my right hand without taking my finger off the trigger, I can follow up shot faster than any other gun I’m sure, the clicky safety catch can be operated totally silently if required, just pinch between finger and thumb and slowly guide it to the desired position
MarkG_R1_Fpv Good to know. I’m lefty and looking to buy one of these and I think the cocking won’t be a problem, but some comments are saying otherwise. I’m more concerned about the shot count.
Your comment about left handers Steve. I shoot left handed, and always prefer a right handed action such as this. I find it so much easier to load, and stay on aim this way. Same with the Daystate's I've had too.
I've got a very similar special edition laminate HW100T in .177 with the longer (non Karbine) 600mm barrel and it's amazing! Super quiet with the suppressor amazingly accurate and very slick in operation. I love it!
As a left handed shooter, and owner of 3 hw100's (1xKT and 2xT), I can personally vouch that using the cocking lever with my right hand as I use my left to shoot (while rested on a bipod) is ridiculously easy and comfortable to do. (agree with everything else in the video, my absolute favourite air rifle I've ever shot)
HW 100 k Air cylinder Dust probe I have never lost mine as it fits nice and snug and only careless person would lose it I have had mine for years. And number two the safety catch is not noisy unless you flick it but if you gently pull it back not releasing it and push it forward not releasing it again there is no noise at all. I love to watch your videos as you do a lovely review on all the things that you put on and are true thank you very much . My name is Mick from Stoke-on-Trent.
Good review Steve. Weihrauch was crazy doing away with the FSB and putting seven-inch moderators on everything. Now the 12ftlb carbine is longer than the FSB Sporter and the Sporter with 600mm barrel is a surf fishing pole. The FAC versions are insane with the Carbine at 48" and the Sporter well over 50" long. The FAC FSB Sporter was 43.5 inches. I believe they are the longest Carbine and Sporters made at this point. Every manufacturer is going shorter and Weihrauch adds seven inches.
I’ve had my hw100kt for 10 years and it is incredible. It has never had any issues at all, holds zero perfectly with h&n field target trophy pellets. Mine is still in brand new condition. I always store mine half filled, never let the air drop into the red,(good practice not too) If you are thinking about it, you will not be disappointed, they got it right from the offset, the trigger system is out of this world, as is the cocking mechanism. If you are buying second hand, stay away from heavenly tampered models with munched fasteners etc etc. There are many immaculate examples for sale out there.
Steve I have the KT one as well not the laminate stock though and I can tell you it’s a lot more accurate than you got and I get 70 shots in a 177 it is a stunning rifle. Excellent review
I've got a 110 and I really regret buying it. You refer to the mag change. I've fired so many weapons and a few air rifles, but the mag change on the 110 has got to be the most fiddly two handed mag change I've ever had to do.
I've decided to leave using Springers in HFT competition and intend using my HW100. I've installed a Ratworks cylinder which now gives me 100 shots. Its also got a Rowan splitter and will have a Rowan trigger by the weekend too. 😎
I'm left handed and cocking it isn't a problem. Well if you are nit picking don't forget the silencer and manometer, a couple of threads more or less so the name Weihrauch wasn't upside down on the silencer and the green on the manometer was directly under the barrel, but other than that, it is a georgous rifle.
Same. I purchased one in the summer & the guy I brought it from told me it loved the JSB Exact Jumbo Heavies. The only downside to this rifle I've found is that it's too accurate at ranges up to 40m. It's just not a challenge xD. 60-80m is more fun to push my skills, but at that range, it's hard to tell where the shots are hitting until I take the walk downrange.
Hi Steve, I have the full length version in walnut, it really is the mutts nut's when it comes to accuracy. A beautiful rifle in every way, nice review. ATB... Billy.
@@markveganism5003 Hi Mark, yes I still have it, and it's still preforming as good as the day I bought it. As mine is FAC rated its full power and as a guesstimate I think it will give me around 40 full power shots. It's truly a beautiful rifle. Thanks for the enquiry 👍
I know of people who have bought a replacement "rifle" cylinder, it's 175cc vs 105cc in the carbine cylinder. It's $300 US so I have not purchased one yet but will likely do so at some point. I did however take a half twist off the hammer spring after watching a video about an HW100 shooting to hot and the pellets destabilizing on "Teds Holdover". So anyway the side effect of that was a slightly higher (65ish) shot count.
Love my KT .20... Always keep the dust cover in your mouth while filling, that way it doesn't get lost. (ask me how I know) The one on yours doesn't look like it will fit from the top, so it can fall out if nudged.. Perhaps the tube can be tightened in a few degrees so that the probe hole can be accessed from above. The safety catch is noisy unless you actuate it SLOWLY. Super channel - nice review.
Aproximately 60 from a 190 bar fill down to 100... I find 190-200 bar a tiny bit erratic, but it's a new gun so might settle down a bit. Weihrauch website says 70 shots..
john wilson Strange ... I get 100 shots per fill in my .20 HW 100 ... It's the full length one .. the carbines have a smaller air cylinder ( so I'm led too believe ) ... Great rifle .. best pellets tested ( and I've tested most of em in .20 ) are the daystate rangemaster sovereign ... Though the standard jsb are very good also ... H&n ftt ..crap ... Crosman premier won't index in magazine .. accupells ok ( ish ) stick too jsb or it's derivatives ...
You get more like 70 shots from the carbine and if you put an after market cylinder on there from A&M customs you will be in the 80's and the same with hw100 tuning titanium cylinder too which I have on mine now and reduce the weight also, great rifles tried and tested over the years, nice review 👍
Steve Allan there's a few variations on shot count for sure some get 4 mags others 5 - 6 mags it is something talked about on many groups, pellets mine doesn't like anything light and I get great results from jsb exact heavy in .177 at 10.34gr 4.52 or bisley magnums but jsb just pip those over longer ranges.
Free floated barrels have vibration also, free floated does not mean better accuracy, many clamped barrels are just as good shooting as a free floated barrel, it has to do more with the design of the gun, the caliber and ammo your shooting, and the harmonics of the barrel and gun, we use to tune Rugers by barrel clamp torque and even shim them sometimes, and we would eventually get every bit as good if not better accuracy then if the same barrel and gun were free floated, if this gun is designed to be clamped to dampen harmonics of that specific barrel the accuracy could very well go out the door if you went free floated, or even tighten up groups by loosening and tightening that clamp.
MetalEngineer What pellets does yours prefer? Mines .20 anawl , likes jsb exacts and the daystate derivative ... Find the crossman premiers hard too cycle in magazine ...
I was considering one but I have owned the 101kt I had a go on an artimis m16d and tbh it's just as good and I'm getting one buuut there's the leshy m16d or leshy can't decide two totally different rifles but both awesome them artimis rifles are very bloody good indeed
Check my Edgun Leshiy video, not as great as you think and I am reviewing the Artemis M30 at the moment and it is showing typical Artemis / SMK bad quality.
I LOVE mine, HW 100 KT .177. As I said earlier I get six mags befor the Yellow. Would be interested in knowing why? and I don't over fill it. I also wonder if anyone or Weihrauch have engineered a fix for the click of the safety catch? and perhaps a light weight cord to retain the Filler probe? As said the accuracy of this rifle in my experience is truly outstanding.
They are pushing the .218 H&N 23g slugs at 29ftlbs very well. I forgot to mention that... Again they aren't gonna group them like our other guns will at really long ranges BUT it still shoots them very well. 5 shot 100y groups with the .218 23g slugs are running right at 1.75 moa and ten shot 100y groups are right at 2moa. We have taken them out to 150y and 5 shot groups are running right at 3 minutes and 10 shot 150y groups are running about 4.5 minutes because it's throwing a flyer with in 10 shots in most groups opening them up. So slugs are dove vital area accurate out to a 100y consistently but that's about the limit or your gonna wing birds because both guns are throwing flyers to often. Also neither of them shoot the FX hybrids worth of crap.
This is quite rare, for once i`m glad to be austrian. I am not allowed to buy a silencer, but buying the not kastrated version of it was no problem. If i bought mine in 4.5, pretty much every pellet would fly supersonic. It`s regulatet to 100 bar, that would be about 3 and a half 14 shot magazines from 200 bar (with a 175ml container) until it would shoot with a different velocity. i love mine. The thumbhole stock versions always seem to have the x on both sides of the part, where the thumb is supposed to rest. So beautyfull, so precise, such a good reason to get a pump. Btw, i bought mine in 2018 and the butt plate of it can be tilted. Did they change that? If they did, i picked a good moment to buy, because i really like that.
One of the most reliable rifles I've ever owned, and I must disagree with regards to the accuracy, I've owned 3 hw100s two .177 and one .22 and they were all as accurate as all the top end electronic rifles I've owned, all the fx rifles etc etc, you must of had not the best head sized pellets, or you didn't have enough time to get used to it, Totally agree with you about the shot count , that's the main reason I ended up letting them go and moving on to something else.
Hi Steve,as always a Top review,although i think this rifle can be improved on,......................................and that's in my cabinet,joking aside, i think Laminate stocks bring out a certain flair in Air Riles if done properly and Weihrauch/Minelli certainly know how to make a Laminate stock air rifle look the part, and this one has got to be up there with best of them.
Stunningly beautiful rifle you got there steve , mines the full length thumb hole in walnut , and I tell you something , waxing that stock is almost as good as shooting it , simply orgasmic , such a superbly put together rifle , oozes quality .. shot count in .20 is around 100 , the downside being theres not a vast choice of .20 caliber pellets too choose from , that said , the Daystate rangemaster sovereigns ( 13.73grn) are superb .. mines even got the same scope as your test rifle ( airmax ) ...as for the left hand cocking mechanism , im a " leftie " ( not politically btw) and have no problems with it at all , you vould even say it was advantageous when shooting off the bench , theres a groove around the filler port plug , that a length of cat gut ( fishing line ) tied too it , then tied too bi-pod would be excellent for the clumsy bu##gers who would loose it ... weight wise , laminate stocks generally are heavier due too there construction , so if you didn't mind the longer , full length rifle , it will probably be lighter anyway , accuracy wise , mine anyway , is excellent , though it must be said , NOT as good as my BSA Goldstar OR Daystate Mk4 ( both .177 ) that said , just holding and caressing the HW100 is reason enough itself too own one ... anyone reading this .. and watching the vid ... and want a PCP ..go for it .. it wont win you a world HFT , FT or benchrest world championship , but it WILL make you feel like youve woken up next too Penelope Cruz ( or add your own preference ) every time you get it out the gun bag ... great review steve ...AWESOME ...
We have as of late only been buying FX and RAW guns. We have two .22 Daystate Red Wolf's with the Poly barrels .22s and a .22 and a .25 Air Arms S510 XS about 6 months ago. In the past two years those are the only four guns that aren't FX or RAW HM1000X LRTs. But but we did buy two HW100KTs just like yours same stock When we really wanted to buy another Crown cont with .22 700mm slug liner... So for us buy 2 guns that wasn't a RAW or FX right now really says something. The .22 HW100KT is flat wicked with JSB 25.39 redesigns at 29.5ftlbs (the shot count is a little low but we bought these for rats at farms and we are shooting from a fixed position and the 100cf 4500psi tank is right there next to us so the shout count is ok) we are taking rats out to 130y with no problems at all. 10 shot groups at 100y are 1.5 inch ctc all day long at the indoor range. The longest shots that this place we are ratting will present us is 135y and we are having about a 85% hit ratio at that range on normal size farm rats... Last weekend I killed 40 in a row without a miss at between 90 and 105y. Our .22 Impact MKII with 700mm pellet liners are without a doubt more accurate as are the Crowns and our Dream lites and at range our slug liners are just amazing... Our poly barreled RAWs are much more accurate and eating NSA slugs 30g .217s at 60ftlbs up and doing things that wasn't possible with airguns just a few years ago. The HW100KT is so light and small and its just such a pretty gun. We bought them because the looks, the guns preform no doubt and but there are better choices at the prices they are you can get much more gun. But the looks and and refinement of the gun is top of the line in everyway and the gun is capable of putting lead where you want it at long range (again it can't compete with my Crown or Impact .22 or .25 or my RAWs or my Red Wolf's or S510XS accuracy wise or power wise BUT the gun is just so damm sexy and i wanted it badly so hubby bought me and him one) and makes a fantastic ratting gun and we have been really beating up on the Starlings as well with it. The starlings don't stand a chance at 75y and we have taken a bunch at 90 to 100y with them but they do struggle at a 100y when pesting the Starlings and the miss ratio is much more then it would be on them then with most of our other guns... But i will say this the HW100KT sitting on the hood of the truck on the atlas bipod looks soooo damn sexy that it doesn't matter.
Hi Steve I have the hw100ks by far the best rifle I’ve owned superb accuracy very quiet very smooth operation and the shot count isn’t bad I get 56 shots from mine in 177 I have never shot 56 rabbits in one session so ain’t so bad I just think it’s the best pcp for the money out there. Ps not a bad review 👍👍
It's fitted with a bipod but you shot it off a pile of cushions??? These are beautiful, well-made guns. My .22 (non-carbine) gets 140 shots per fill. The safety catch is silent if you grip it between thumb and forefinger and slide it, as opposed to just flicking it off. Notwithstanding that, generally a good, honest review.
.20 .. kt ... Excellent .. That said it will NOT win a 60 yrd+ bench rest comp .. that said nor would the cricket ... Basically both are hunting rifles ...great rifle though ... PS I've added this remark as it's preferable too a " bump " ..just in case anyone wants to know more about the rifle
@john wilson First of all you'll LOVE the feel of it , it ooozes quality , I could spend days waxing the Walnut stock .. it's quiet with the weirauch silencer , it's accurate in .20 .... But ammunition is limited in that caliber , .177 would be that bit better due too the VAST amount of pellet choice .. unless you prefer .22 .. the magazine is superb and simple ( get a single shot tray , you'll save on pellets ) slap a good scope on it ...it deserves it , the carbines has a smaller shot count then the full length ( according too the weirauch brochure ) in .20 full length ( hw100kt ) 120 shots before refill ... With no sizable drop off in accuracy throughout the whole charge .. getting average of 11.20 ftlb with daystate rangemaster sovereign ( 13.7 grn ) ( or there abouts ) which is Bob on ... The 50 shots in .177 in the review ( it's a carbine ) ..a tad heavy , but that's nothing ... The build quality is SUPERB ..the trigger is very good , and almost fully adjusable ( I nice trigger that allows the blade too swivel round would be advantageous , but DONT let that put you off ) it's an excellent rifle I LOVE mine and I guarantee you will love yours ... Hope this helps ..
Pellets for the .20 , are as follows ( well the ones I've tested anyway ) JSB Diablo 13.73 ( cheaper then the daystate sovs and just as good ) Powerpell ( Webley ) 14.3 grn Daystate Kaiser (11.42 grn ) Daystate rangemaster sovereign ( 13.73 grn ) ( derivatives of JSB's ) Crosman premier (. 14.3 grn ) (won't cycle in magazine BUT may do with single shot tray , which Mrs is getting me for crimbo ) H&N FTT ( 11.42 ) ( same as Kaisers ) accurate ISH , not the best too be fair , but then H&N's don't suite ANY of me guns ... Except the brocock bantam sniper hr .. which seems too like anything
ẞhad too order mine ( through John knibbs (coleshill)via hull cartridge ) because I couldn't get .20 in a full length thumbhole stock anyware else ..ALTHOUGH they did do a .20 full length with normal stock at SOLWARE Tamworth ...
Dear Steve! Please help me to choose. I’m new to airguns, not an engineer and my english isnt perfect so it is difficult for me to make up a mind. I never go hunting, but i would like to shoot in my garden and participate in the tournaments. I want best possible accuracy, nice looks and availability in Russia. Because of the quarantine my choice only may be between wairauch 100 and fx streamline. What would you take between these two? They are equally priced. Thank you in advance!!
DayState Wolverrine R every day of the century. There is no comparison and I have played extensively with both. If you like electronic rifles, then the DayState Red Wolf is the best in my opinion. I have been testing one for the last 3 weeks and I am now going to buy one.
Steve Allan thanks Steve for that. I can’t really afford £1800 and if I did then Daystate Red Wolf or FX Crown but as this is my first then I may go for the Wolverine I think.
You know I thought when you reviewed the FX Wildcat you said it had the best trigger now it's the cricket trigger every time I watch one of your videos you change everything that you say
Hi Steve. OK, no double loading, that´s great. But what about when the mag is empty ?? I ges you can empty fire it ! Anyhow , again a great vid and review !!!!
The lever will not push forward when the magazine is empty. You either take out the mag and reload it, or take the mag out and dry fire / or pull trigger holding handle to de-cock it.
Quick question, I'm going to buy the KT to keep my HW98 company, So is it a good idea to keep air in the cylinder after a shoot or is it better to empty the cylinder every time? Or would that damage the o rings or cause leaks? Thanks
I bought my first airgun in September ‘20 and this was it in Compact. I think it’s brilliant, but it started at Ca. 11.5 ft.lb. After a few weeks laid up, with the COVID lockdown, the next time on the range, it down to 8.5 on the FX Chrono. It’s still in guarantee, but I’m wondering about getting it tuned elsewhere and fitting the Ti bottle. Any thoughts are appreciated
Good review , your shooting unfortunately does it no justice though try using the bipod and just one sandbag or just your arm to rest it on These guns are capable of keeping up with any high level rifle the Germans are Master engineers, as you say the mechanism is the Rolls Royce Of the air gun world

Cheers Steve. Had one for a couple years now, it has been mustard both on paper and out in the field. And yes I do have arms like Arnie.
Cracking rifle.
Thank you for the review - much appreciated. Bought myself one these in thumbhole full length version!
Greetings from “Down Under “ Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍👍
I have one, it's a tack driver and the best air rifles I've ever had 👍
Nice, they are great rifles.
I get 84 (six mags) of 14 shots before refill needed. I bought the extra mags and glad I did. HW100KT .177
Good stuff

Thanks Phil, they are amazing rifles.
Hi mate .I've got the same how do you attach the bipod ?atb David
Must confess I own one of these with the laminate adjustable and the hw110 both great guns great lock in system with the magazine, nice and simple
yup, I liked it a lot, shame about the shot count on the KT

Yeah that is nit picking :) hahahahaha. I loved it, great rifle.
I tend to use JSB Heavies 10.34 in my Hw100 more harder hitting than the JSB 8.44 although both give tight groups!

Just watching my rifle review now steve,i knew you would like it a lot.
:)
Worth every penny best pcp ive ever owned...and ive had a few.
Many people say similar
I would curious what you found "lesser" than the hw100.
Love my KT .20... Always keep the dust cover in your mouth while filling, that way it doesn't get lost. (ask me how I know) The one on yours doesn't look like it will fit from the top, so it can fall out if nudged.. Perhaps the tube can be tightened in a few degrees so that the probe hole can be accessed from above. The safety catch is noisy unless you actuate it SLOWLY.
Super channel - nice review.

All true, not the most accurate rifle I have tried, but bloody good and the looks, drool !!!
Steve Allan, hi Steve, my it is the most accurate I have tried but what in your opinion is the most accurate?
I got this beauty in .20 calibre.

What pellets does yours prefer? Mines .20 anawl , likes jsb exacts and the daystate derivative ... Find the crossman premiers hard too cycle in magazine ...
Best rifle I’ve used mate! I bet the group would of improved with bisley magnums, most hw100s love them.
Is a cracking rifle. Shame I didn't get more time to practise with it. Off camera I got much better groups.
I am sure you did. Photo or it didn't happen :-)
Or actual Jsb Exacts, not the Rs exacts.
Seriously toying with one of these rifles. Really enjoyed the review, great quality coverage of everything you would want to know.
Subscribed :)
Thank you. The HW100 is a cracking rifle, so go and get one, you will not be disapointed.
I got HW100S - best thing ever.
Nice rifle
I was considering one but I have owned the 101kt I had a go on an artimis m16d and tbh it's just as good and I'm getting one buuut there's the leshy m16d or leshy can't decide two totally different rifles but both awesome them artimis rifles are very bloody good indeed
Check my Edgun Leshiy video, not as great as you think and I am reviewing the Artemis M30 at the moment and it is showing typical Artemis / SMK bad quality.
I have the 177 and .22 they are superb sub 12s
Picking one up Saturday Steve. 22
Beautiful air rifle , she is a dream
She is :)
she is a he
I LOVE mine, HW 100 KT .177. As I said earlier I get six mags befor the Yellow. Would be interested in knowing why? and I don't over fill it.
I also wonder if anyone or Weihrauch have engineered a fix for the click of the safety catch? and perhaps a light weight cord to retain the Filler probe? As said the accuracy of this rifle in my experience is truly outstanding.
It is a cracking rifle, but is low on shot count. No problems for hunting unless you have a very busy night.
They are pushing the .218 H&N 23g slugs at 29ftlbs very well. I forgot to mention that... Again they aren't gonna group them like our other guns will at really long ranges BUT it still shoots them very well.
5 shot 100y groups with the .218 23g slugs are running right at 1.75 moa and ten shot 100y groups are right at 2moa. We have taken them out to 150y and 5 shot groups are running right at 3 minutes and 10 shot 150y groups are running about 4.5 minutes because it's throwing a flyer with in 10 shots in most groups opening them up. So slugs are dove vital area accurate out to a 100y consistently but that's about the limit or your gonna wing birds because both guns are throwing flyers to often. Also neither of them shoot the FX hybrids worth of crap.
Spot on again....Perfect review.
Keep it up.
Thank you
This is quite rare, for once i`m glad to be austrian. I am not allowed to buy a silencer, but buying the not kastrated version of it was no problem. If i bought mine in 4.5, pretty much every pellet would fly supersonic. It`s regulatet to 100 bar, that would be about 3 and a half 14 shot magazines from 200 bar (with a 175ml container) until it would shoot with a different velocity. i love mine. The thumbhole stock versions always seem to have the x on both sides of the part, where the thumb is supposed to rest. So beautyfull, so precise, such a good reason to get a pump. Btw, i bought mine in 2018 and the butt plate of it can be tilted. Did they change that? If they did, i picked a good moment to buy, because i really like that.
Nice, it is a good rifle and as long as works for you, all good.
One of the most reliable rifles I've ever owned, and I must disagree with regards to the accuracy, I've owned 3 hw100s two .177 and one .22 and they were all as accurate as all the top end electronic rifles I've owned, all the fx rifles etc etc, you must of had not the best head sized pellets, or you didn't have enough time to get used to it,
Totally agree with you about the shot count , that's the main reason I ended up letting them go and moving on to something else.
Yes shame about the shot count the is a bad point of an otherwise great rifle.
Great review. Thanks Steve.
Thank you
Hi Steve,as always a Top review,although i think this rifle can be improved on,......................................and that's in my cabinet,joking aside, i think Laminate stocks bring out a certain flair in Air Riles if done properly and Weihrauch/Minelli certainly know how to make a Laminate stock air rifle look the part, and this one has got to be up there with best of them.
It was a beautiful looking rifle, a lot like your new one.
Top review steve.
Thanks Tom
I was thinking of getting a left hander to shoot right handed... I would like to keep hand in grip when reloading!
Stunningly beautiful rifle you got there steve , mines the full length thumb hole in walnut , and I tell you something , waxing that stock is almost as good as shooting it , simply orgasmic , such a superbly put together rifle , oozes quality .. shot count in .20 is around 100 , the downside being theres not a vast choice of .20 caliber pellets too choose from , that said , the Daystate rangemaster sovereigns ( 13.73grn) are superb .. mines even got the same scope as your test rifle ( airmax ) ...as for the left hand cocking mechanism , im a " leftie " ( not politically btw) and have no problems with it at all , you vould even say it was advantageous when shooting off the bench , theres a groove around the filler port plug , that a length of cat gut ( fishing line ) tied too it , then tied too bi-pod would be excellent for the clumsy bu##gers who would loose it ... weight wise , laminate stocks generally are heavier due too there construction , so if you didn't mind the longer , full length rifle , it will probably be lighter anyway , accuracy wise , mine anyway , is excellent , though it must be said , NOT as good as my BSA Goldstar OR Daystate Mk4 ( both .177 ) that said , just holding and caressing the HW100 is reason enough itself too own one ... anyone reading this .. and watching the vid ... and want a PCP ..go for it .. it wont win you a world HFT , FT or benchrest world championship , but it WILL make you feel like youve woken up next too Penelope Cruz ( or add your own preference ) every time you get it out the gun bag ... great review steve ...AWESOME ...
Awesome write up there mate and full of useful information for viewers or those considering this rifle. Waking up next to Kylie would be my choice :)
Steve Allan
Nice choice Steve ...I won't tell your Mrs
Surely the H&N were the best grouping?
Great review pal
Thanks, don't forget to join our FB group facebook.com/groups/351221505224875/
Prefer it in walnut, but it's a hell of a rifle...
I am a convert to the laminate
There always in an X on the thumbrest, it is exactly the same on both sides. I am not into all that "german engeneering" crap, but the Hw100 is epic
Thanks.
I am interested why the -177 uses more air than the -22. I would have thought it would be the other way round.
Per cortesia, potrei conoscere la marca e le caratteristiche dell' ottica montata sulla carabina ??? Grazie.
We have as of late only been buying FX and RAW guns. We have two .22 Daystate Red Wolf's with the Poly barrels .22s and a .22 and a .25 Air Arms S510 XS about 6 months ago. In the past two years those are the only four guns that aren't FX or RAW HM1000X LRTs.
But but we did buy two HW100KTs just like yours same stock When we really wanted to buy another Crown cont with .22 700mm slug liner... So for us buy 2 guns that wasn't a RAW or FX right now really says something.
The .22 HW100KT is flat wicked with JSB 25.39 redesigns at 29.5ftlbs (the shot count is a little low but we bought these for rats at farms and we are shooting from a fixed position and the 100cf 4500psi tank is right there next to us so the shout count is ok) we are taking rats out to 130y with no problems at all. 10 shot groups at 100y are 1.5 inch ctc all day long at the indoor range. The longest shots that this place we are ratting will present us is 135y and we are having about a 85% hit ratio at that range on normal size farm rats... Last weekend I killed 40 in a row without a miss at between 90 and 105y. Our .22 Impact MKII with 700mm pellet liners are without a doubt more accurate as are the Crowns and our Dream lites and at range our slug liners are just amazing... Our poly barreled RAWs are much more accurate and eating NSA slugs 30g .217s at 60ftlbs up and doing things that wasn't possible with airguns just a few years ago.
The HW100KT is so light and small and its just such a pretty gun. We bought them because the looks, the guns preform no doubt and but there are better choices at the prices they are you can get much more gun. But the looks and and refinement of the gun is top of the line in everyway and the gun is capable of putting lead where you want it at long range (again it can't compete with my Crown or Impact .22 or .25 or my RAWs or my Red Wolf's or S510XS accuracy wise or power wise BUT the gun is just so damm sexy and i wanted it badly so hubby bought me and him one) and makes a fantastic ratting gun and we have been really beating up on the Starlings as well with it. The starlings don't stand a chance at 75y and we have taken a bunch at 90 to 100y with them but they do struggle at a 100y when pesting the Starlings and the miss ratio is much more then it would be on them then with most of our other guns... But i will say this the HW100KT sitting on the hood of the truck on the atlas bipod looks soooo damn sexy that it doesn't matter.
whats a modifier doing on their either a moderator or Silencer, much better pls Steve get it right .
hehehe i always mix up my words :)
The low shot count is what always put me off this gun, that and me being left handed.
Ha! I was going to say, the shot count puts me off - and I’m also left handed!
It's not too bad! 4 full mags in .177 which is good when hunting! Also I'm left handed and this thing is perfect.
at 200 bar, what's the velocity of a .22 pellet ?
Depends on the power of your rifle and the pellet size. For sub 12 ftlb anywhere between 500 and 650 ft/s depending on pellet weight.
@@airgunology how about the rifle you just reviewed ?
Lovely rifle Steve but I was expecting some tighter grouping from the ‘100. Can it do better??
Yes with more pellet testing and a better shooter than me.
what difference between hw100 to the hw100kt. is it just the thumb hole stock ? sorry i am new to air rifles, so if it stupid question i apologise
The K = Karbine (shorter barrel). The T = Thumb Hole.
Hi Steve I have the hw100ks by far the best rifle I’ve owned superb accuracy very quiet very smooth operation and the shot count isn’t bad I get 56 shots from mine in 177 I have never shot 56 rabbits in one session so ain’t so bad I just think it’s the best pcp for the money out there.
Ps not a bad review 👍👍
It is an amazing rifle and great for hunting. The shot count is not bad then, but for plinking, it gets tiresome with such a low shot count.
It's fitted with a bipod but you shot it off a pile of cushions??? These are beautiful, well-made guns. My .22 (non-carbine) gets 140 shots per fill. The safety catch is silent if you grip it between thumb and forefinger and slide it, as opposed to just flicking it off. Notwithstanding that, generally a good, honest review.
I found it more comfortable and consistent with pillows to remove me, the human errorm from the testing.
.20 .. kt ... Excellent .. That said it will NOT win a 60 yrd+ bench rest comp .. that said nor would the cricket ... Basically both are hunting rifles ...great rifle though ...
PS I've added this remark as it's preferable too a " bump " ..just in case anyone wants to know more about the rifle
Thanks Mark, yup a hunter and not a trophy winner.
@john wilson
First of all you'll LOVE the feel of it , it ooozes quality , I could spend days waxing the Walnut stock .. it's quiet with the weirauch silencer , it's accurate in .20 .... But ammunition is limited in that caliber , .177 would be that bit better due too the VAST amount of pellet choice .. unless you prefer .22 .. the magazine is superb and simple ( get a single shot tray , you'll save on pellets ) slap a good scope on it ...it deserves it , the carbines has a smaller shot count then the full length ( according too the weirauch brochure ) in .20 full length ( hw100kt ) 120 shots before refill ... With no sizable drop off in accuracy throughout the whole charge .. getting average of 11.20 ftlb with daystate rangemaster sovereign ( 13.7 grn ) ( or there abouts ) which is Bob on ... The 50 shots in .177 in the review ( it's a carbine ) ..a tad heavy , but that's nothing ... The build quality is SUPERB ..the trigger is very good , and almost fully adjusable ( I nice trigger that allows the blade too swivel round would be advantageous , but DONT let that put you off ) it's an excellent rifle I LOVE mine and I guarantee you will love yours ... Hope this helps ..
Pellets for the .20 , are as follows ( well the ones I've tested anyway )
JSB Diablo 13.73 ( cheaper then the daystate sovs and just as good )
Powerpell ( Webley ) 14.3 grn
Daystate Kaiser (11.42 grn )
Daystate rangemaster sovereign ( 13.73 grn ) ( derivatives of JSB's )
Crosman premier (. 14.3 grn ) (won't cycle in magazine BUT may do with single shot tray , which Mrs is getting me for crimbo )
H&N FTT ( 11.42 ) ( same as Kaisers ) accurate ISH , not the best too be fair , but then H&N's don't suite ANY of me guns ... Except the brocock bantam sniper hr .. which seems too like anything
ẞhad too order mine ( through John knibbs (coleshill)via hull cartridge ) because I couldn't get .20 in a full length thumbhole stock anyware else ..ALTHOUGH they did do a .20 full length with normal stock at SOLWARE Tamworth ...
I’m going to buy one🤩🤩🤩
Any help where can i go north and north west london? Much love and appreciate
Dear Steve! Please help me to choose. I’m new to airguns, not an engineer and my english isnt perfect so it is difficult for me to make up a mind.
I never go hunting, but i would like to shoot in my garden and participate in the tournaments.
I want best possible accuracy, nice looks and availability in Russia. Because of the quarantine my choice only may be between wairauch 100 and fx streamline.
What would you take between these two? They are equally priced. Thank you in advance!!
Both pretty much equal mate. I would go the HW100 for the German reliability
Test out the full lehght rifle in a Synthetic stock, see if its a better weight n Shot count . nice rifle but not the kt version,
Not had chance to try one.
Do you have any interest in getting a FAC or SGC ?
No, no need for one or the time
Steve great video may I ask what you would recommend out of this HW100KT and the DAYSTATE WOLVERINE R B TYPE LAMINATED I am stuck choosing?
DayState Wolverrine R every day of the century. There is no comparison and I have played extensively with both. If you like electronic rifles, then the DayState Red Wolf is the best in my opinion. I have been testing one for the last 3 weeks and I am now going to buy one.
Steve Allan thanks Steve for that. I can’t really afford £1800 and if I did then Daystate Red Wolf or FX Crown but as this is my first then I may go for the Wolverine I think.
Steve hi did you do a review of the DAYSTATE WOLVERINE R B TYPE LAMINATED (not the Red Wolf) I cannot see that on your channel?
How does this compare to the AA ultimate sporter s510 ?
looks like these pellets go in sideways. not the nice round holes. what is going on?
It sure is beautiful.
How does the Hw100kt compare to Hw110 laminate? Thanks
Just looking at getting one of these. No way of getting a larger cylinder from weiharauch for these?
Great review btw.
What you want is a ratworks cylinder. Lighter weight and extra pressure when coupled with the tench regulator. Bit of those get more shot count.
Great video, do you know if the USA versions come with a pinned moderator and are full power?
Unsure mate, check with your dealer, pretty sure you can get the full power.,
Who That's So Beautiful Air Rifle
It was
You know I thought when you reviewed the FX Wildcat you said it had the best trigger now it's the cricket trigger every time I watch one of your videos you change everything that you say
Look at the dates of the videos. Things progress
Hi there, can anyone tell what Hawk Scope this is? Thanks...
I like this one how can I get in Swaziland?
Google is your friend.
@@airgunology Thank you so much
What's a modifier?
silencer
blimey, thought it was gary numan lol
hahahaha
Same here 🤣
Hi Steve. OK, no double loading, that´s great. But what about when the mag is empty ?? I ges you can empty fire it !
Anyhow , again a great vid and review !!!!
The lever will not push forward when the magazine is empty. You either take out the mag and reload it, or take the mag out and dry fire / or pull trigger holding handle to de-cock it.
Disappointment about this gun is that we can't decock the hw100.
Which one do you prefer this or your FX?
Danke für dein Bericht. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Mate you’re so good you could sell ice to the Eskimos, I don’t care what the mrs says I’ll get one
Quick question, I'm going to buy the KT to keep my HW98 company, So is it a good idea to keep air in the cylinder after a shoot or is it better to empty the cylinder every time? Or would that damage the o rings or cause leaks? Thanks
Keep the air in. Everyone does it and air in the cylinder actually helps keep the o rings compressed and healthy.
Cheers for the reply mate, Good job on the channel looking forward to getting the HW 100 KT.
Where we get from this any idea please suggest
I am a bit confused, as somebody is selling this version as a F.S.B. Is this an F.S.B ???
No, fsb means full shrouded barrel
I want to buy in India tell me about sellers..
Use google, I have no idea about India and buying Air Rifles there
Who sells it in the USA
try Airguns of Arizona or Pyramid Air
I don’t understand why you have a bi pod and you’re using the bag 🤷🏻♂️ just wondering
Great review thanks :-)
Best pcp out there
Off too wax mine now , then go shoot it at my range ... weathers ace ... gpnna be an AWESOME day ..
Nice, I was stuck clothes shopping with Abby :( But managed to get some shooting done when we got back, lovely day
Can someone give me a link to buy a gun like this but max £700 cheers.
Bsa ultra
Beauty.
drool !!!!
Yes
perfect..👍👍👍
I Love mine.
I bought my first airgun in September ‘20 and this was it in Compact. I think it’s brilliant, but it started at Ca. 11.5 ft.lb. After a few weeks laid up, with the COVID lockdown, the next time on the range, it down to 8.5 on the FX Chrono. It’s still in guarantee, but I’m wondering about getting it tuned elsewhere and fitting the Ti bottle.
Any thoughts are appreciated
amazing review.. thanks dear .. love from Pakistan
Thanks for watching
Good review , your shooting unfortunately does it no justice though try using the bipod and just one sandbag or just your arm to rest it on
These guns are capable of keeping up with any high level rifle the Germans are Master engineers, as you say the mechanism is the Rolls Royce
Of the air gun world
Hw..100kt good... 👍👍👍
