Back in the day (some, ooooh, 37 years ago) I had a Weihrauch HW 80 in 12lb/ft .177. I also had permission to shoot bunnies, rats and other assorted pests on two farms. Amazing days, not only because I bagged a few rabbits for the pot, but what really sticks in the memory is being out in the land. Being quiet (don't spook the wabbits!) and seeing all the countryside alive. Very happy days for me.
Purchased one today, plus scope. Such a lovely piece of kit. I owned a HW80 when I was a kid and was pleasantly surprised how much lighter the HW95k is. Thanks for the recommendation.
My favorite air rifle. I have the Beeman R9 version in .177 and an HW95 in .22. They're both tack drivers. Being in the US, they're both full power models, 13.4ft/lbs out of the R9 and 15.7 ft/lbs out of the HW95 with their favorite pellets.
R9 is the first Beeman I purchased..still own it and two others. I have it in .20 cal. I have put more than 3000 rounds thru it and still shoots like a new rifle. Quality is top notch and accuracy is outstanding. Love the '' thuunkk'' when it's fired. Back yard friendly too. Also own an HW80 and HW100. All fitted with Hawke scopes. Love "em all. Did I forget to mention Weirauch manufactures them all. Fine rifles that are worth the investment.
I’ve been following weihrauch reviews and reading up on them for a while, as I’ve been getting a lot of crows and other serious pests at home here on the farm, round the yard. 22 years ago as a lucky kid, I had one of the first mk1 BSA super ten’s. After a break from shooting for a number of years I needed something just to control pests with, as and when I can, so today I bought a HW95K in .177. After a couple of hundred pellets through it to zero the Tasco world class airgun scope I kept from the old super ten (the rifle died and BSA didn’t have any spares for them in 2008 when I asked, so into the scrap yard with a load of other rusty machinery it went) I must say I’m pretty impressed. .177 has come on so much, in 1996 .22 was the norm for hunting, now I wouldn’t have anything else. This HW95K is solid, well engineered to last a lifetime. I tried a HW90k In the shop, as I wanted a gas ram, and I was dismayed to learn Theoben went bust years ago, so the HW90k it was going to be, but it’s built like a tank. Literally you could smash doors down with the butt, it’s like carrying a BAR from ww11. The 95k is more refined, light, better trigger, all good. As far as springs are concerned, if you can change the brake pads on your car, you can replace a spring in an air rifle easy. If like me your life is running and repairing farm machinery, any major job on a spring gun is eyes closed stuff. It doesn’t phase me to own a spring gun at all, as long as it’s a quality one like this. Tuning one I don’t see a problem with, if you’ve seated valves in a cylinder head, you’ll get the idea. I’m very pleased, it is a tool at the end of the day, and works really well. Shooting one is a bit jumpy compared to a pcp, but it’s just a case of adopting the correct style to compensate for the very slight jolt. Bit twangy, but nothing that makes you want to take it back.
Just picked one of these up, surprisingly accurate if I do my part, I intended to put a scope on it but the open sights are so good I may just leave it that way. Also very quiet too. I own the AA tx200 and the sound level is comparable.
ive had a hw80 for m6 years i purchased it from a gunsmith who's pride and joy it was. its done me very well with the shooting and reliability But its now time to change. just literally an hour ago ive just purchased this gun ^ the hw95 exact same as shown, ive had a few rounds with it and for the money it shoots superb! its very quiet and a hell lot lighter than the hw80! great video ive subbed
Little bit of a tune will soon iron out the recoil! Cracking guns a love using springers in the field teaches you the craft! Besides that I'm sick of seeing synthetic over priced shite! Top video mate always love the reviews.
I swapped the barrel on my .22 hw95 for a heavier hw98 shrouded type because it had a problem with barrel flip ie barrel too light, now it really is an extremely accurate rifle with little difference in the loudness. I tend to stick to springers, pcp's are no real sport but i do understand why pest control operatives would need a compressed air reservoir.
Loved this video . I bought one near identical in 22 ,some years ago . It's easy to shoot and not pellet fussy , most rws , hn and jsb shoot brilliant. It's my cheapest rifle and my favourite.
Here in the USA we can buy a 22lr rifle or pistol for around $200.00 - however' there is a cult following of which I'm a follower of the HW95 (or Beeman R9) air gun. This rifle rules in precision pest control of rats. Bar none! the quality exceeds the FAC rated rim fires! over here. Got to love that good (outstanding) German engineering. Good video too.
My choice for a "ready to go" rifle. Pin point accuracy and,for me anyway, not pellet picky at all. I get slightly better groups with the high price pellets but will get 95% as good groups with Crosman pellets from Walmart
@@wccross4147 I'm between Weihrauch HW95 Deluxe and Gamo Magnum. Magnum comes in a ten mag edition too. Which one would you choose? Also what's better cal, 4.5 or 5.5? I'm closer to 5.5 but I read a lot 4.5 recomendations. If money wasn''t an issue, which is better (Rifle and whixh caliber?) it would be very helpfull, I would much appriciate it.
@@greekveteran2715the Weihrauch is higher price than the Gamo and caliber is really a personal choice. Since I'm primarily a target shooter the .177 was my choice as I have other airguns in that caliber. If hunting is primary use the .22 likely is a better choice. I chose the Weihrauch to replace an 1980s HW 35e stolen in a robbery and had insurance money. Airguns of Arizona had a nice package with a scope for $527 which is a lot of money but well worth the difference in quality over a Gamo in my opinion. I'd rather have a single shot I know exactly where is will hit than 10 maybes. If you are not in the USA you might check out Kral in the Netherlands. I've not personally bought from them but good prices on Weihrauch
Wow, its already 10 years since you made this video. Still loving your shows big man. And because Weihrauch is still In the game. After many pcp's years, I miss a Weihrauch. So I came back to watch this brief report. Its so difficult to choose between all the HW's ...Hw80: Power (heavy rifle) Hw77(k) also heavy. The Hw35 with the barrel lock. ... Pffff . Can spend your money only once,is what we (use to ) say in Holland 🤔.Anyway, The Hw95Luxus has caught my attention. And it seems to be an allround rifle. Plus: No pumps, extra gear etc. Now this in the video is what I really like. As I always took off the rear sight so you had the 3 holes. This one is for scopes decicaded only. So a nice clean breechblock. Plus No rain will rust the threaded holes.
Giles, I bought this gun because of this review,..., well you and Sir Ted. I didn't have $1000's to buy nor did I know what to buy in the PCP world... but guess what... accurate as heck. My gun likes only Domed pellets... the Beeman .22 Cal Round Pellets, and food of choice and I'm talkin' smaller than a 1 P coin at 30M, the H&N Field Target Trophy Power Copper-Plated (yes I said copper plated) Dome. My velocity with other pellets is 625 these slippery Copper pellets are 640-645. That's 13.65 foot pounds. sorry boys but you have that sub 12ft lb and let me tell you at 13.65 this is NO FAC gun. Does a nice job on the Bushy Grey Tails at 30m - yes head shots so I get a nice clean Kill... I need a better scope. The UTG that I have is ok but a nice Hawke with Sportmatch mounts is really the way to go... or as Giles has here the spring loaded mount.
It is not about the money but it is all the tralala arround a pcp i don,t like. You just need a springer and a tin pellets to have all day fun and nothing is more reliable than a quality springer.
Excellent video mate. I went back to spring/piston last year; the HW95 was the one I chose, and Im glad I did. Mine isn't pellet particular either but it loves RWS Super H and Superdomes. Good, solid dependable kit that will feed us and provide us with fun for years, and not a stirrup pump in sight. Nice one. Baz.
OMG so much choice in air guns. Rekindled my interest in the subject recently and almost impulse bought a gamo 440- but stopped myself to check alternatives. Two weeks later Ive almost driven myself nutz with my enquiries-including hours on youtube. Choice. What a wonderful thing. Here's another beauty by the look of it. In the end I may have to go: eeny meeny miny mo.....😁😂🎶👀👍
When Covid 2 hits and its shit your pants time this is the perfect way to harvest food. 500 shots in your pocket and no gas bottle needed! I will of course keep the Mossberg 12g handy though. For close encounters. If you know what I mean.
It's a beech stock not Walnut, these are the best break barrel can buy, 97s best underleaver, had a few 97s, 77s and TXs over last 10 years still prefer these 95s.
Which would you choose: Weihrauch HW95K, HW99S or Walther Terrus? There is a strange thing happening in the forums. People prefer the HW95K over the Terrus. They prefer the HW99S over the HW95K and they prefer the Terrus over the HW99S! I feel like I'm going round in circles trying to decide which to get! I am leaning towards the Terrus.
Your videos are great Giles. You make me laugh every time. I bought a HW77K right away after having watched your review of it. In .22 mind you. Thanks and keep the videos coming "please" LOL
I slightly disagree with the rattling test. My RWS 54 air king makes lots of rattling noises when I shake it. I can hardly imagine if anything can beat that as a solid spring Airgun and it shoots through the same hole every time I slip that trigger!
a point of interest: Who invented the PCP air rifle? Image result for when was the first pcp air rifle made? Marin LeBourgeoys The first drawing of a PCP airgun dates from circa 1600. It was invented by the French gunmaker Marin LeBourgeoys and fired a dart rather than a bullet. this was copied off the net. I hope it was useful to you.
Hi I am caught up between hw 95 & AA TX 200. TX steals the show in the looks & 95 has got an edge on the weight of the rifle as both of them are at par in terms of accuracy. I am 160 lb & prefer off hand shooting, which one would you suggest. Thanx mate
How can you test the accuracy of a rifle by shooting it standing? Also, when changing brands of pellets it can take a dozen or more shots to get the best accuracy out of the pellet. Are you sure that stock is walnut? Looks remarkably like beech.
Hi remoman that's the 2nd thing I did (had to put the scope on first) very intresting difrence seeing all the shots grouping around the size of a 10p at 25 yards, money well spent me thinks. :)
As long as you buy a scope that is made for air guns it will take the action of a spring air rifle. You CANNOT use scopes made for firearms, they MUST be made for airguns.
It's Hawke, not Hawk. And if it is compatible with air rifle use then yes you can use it. I'd personally verify this with the manufacturer specs. That they can be used for firearms, from Barrett's to 22lr rifles, means nothing because firearms are not spring air rifles and do not have double (front and back) recoil a springer would have. Having said that i own two Hawke scopes on my HW95 and Fenix 400, and so far so good; no complaints of any kind.
***** Good job serving in military as a sniper. I personally do not think highly of people who voluntarily choose to participate in propagating our corporate interest onto foreign regions and foreign peoples, be they brown, jewish or russian "terrorists." I would have personally preferred one of many more decent occupational choices of yours. Having said that, your experience shooting a firearm has no relevance to an experience of shooting a springer air rifle. It is obvious from your comments that you have not carefully shot a springer at a target. If you had you would know what i am talking about instead of sounding ignorant with respect to shooting springer air rifles ONLY, not including any firearms. When the context of the conversation next times focuses on firearms, i will sure TRY and remember to have you chime in for your relevant and knowledgeable observations dealing with firearms. You may want to read up on two way recoils of springer air guns, and perhaps you will understand what i am talking about. But in a nutshell, firearm only rated scopes are designed to take the recoil only one way--towards the back. These scope get destroyed on the second, of a two-way, recoil that a springer experiences when the cylinder hits the end of the compression chamber--2nd recoil towards the front. Unless a scope is designed for this second (or two way) recoil, it is not proper for an average springer even though it may be perfectly fine, as designed, for ANY firearm, including Barrett firearms.
Love your videos, BUT . . . . . How could you possibly compare pellets when you are shooting standing, in the wind, shooting at a moving target? Come on. !
what air gun would you buy for garden plinking and hunting with a budget of between £450 and £550? (to include scope/mounts) im buying a new one next month and would really value your advice i have no preference between springer, ram or pcp, (but i do love simple, reliable, heavy springers) im thinking weirauch hw80k, or is the hw90k better with theobens gas ram? regards will
i have owned a 95 in every cal 177 20 and 22 and to say they are not pellet fussy is silly as every barrel is different so just because that rifle wasn't (even tho i wouldnt be happy with any of the groups on those cards) doesnt meen to say that every rifle will be the same it also sounds so bloody twangy because its 177 and a quick tune and its a 100% better with less kick
no, just for the lenght, are u also able to tell me how fast does thee bullet goes with the 7.5j version (here in europe it's unlegal to own air guns with over 7.5 j). very god video but i'm stil wondering why in a precision test u shoot without resting as u did in some other videos. and do u know if there is also a version with the diopter.
5/24/17 - Is the moderator threaded on or the sight removed and slipped on do you know which? Can't find out much about how the new ones of today are made. Can not find out if the front sight unscrews or not. Today on the Weihrauch website neither HW95 Std or Luxus show a moderator or if the front sight is removable or if you have to use on a slip on moderator. Looks like the did cheapen their quality by no longer threading the barrels.I would gladly pay extra for a threaded barrel. I live in the US. Thank You for your nice vids. Edw.L.
I imagine the suppressors are added only to guns shipped to countries where they are readily available to own or required or possibly fitted to them after they arrive in that country. In the US the only way you can buy a suppressed airgun is if the suppressor is permanently attached to or an integral part of the gun so that it cannot be removed and used on a firearm. You could of course go through the BATF approval process and pay for background check, fingerprinting and a tax stamp and buy a suppressor and have it fitted to your gun, then you could use it on any gun you own, assuming the caliber is the same.

This video misrepresents this rifle. That is definitely not a walnut stock. I also know Weihrauch air rifles and have several. The stocks are beech. I also worked in the forestry business and dealt extensively with furniture companies who bought cherry, oak and walnut from forests in the area for furniture making. I know walnut, and the gun in this video has no walnut on it. That is also not a "shoulder" pad on the rifle stock. It is a rubber recoil pad. These kinds of errors make a person wonder about how knowledgeable and conscientious these vendors are.

Thanks! That was a nice informative little follow-up.
Do you know if they make these in .22?
Concerning the intro. *Thank You!*
I pretty much love springers for target and pest control. It's simple and tried and true.
Just picked one of these up, surprisingly accurate if I do my part, I intended to put a scope on it but the open sights are so good I may just leave it that way. Also very quiet too. I own the AA tx200 and the sound level is comparable.
I have the Beeman R9 (HW95) in 22 cal. Incredible craftsmanship indeed.
ive had a hw80 for m6 years i purchased it from a gunsmith who's pride and joy it was. its done me very well with the shooting and reliability But its now time to change. just literally an hour ago ive just purchased this gun ^ the hw95 exact same as shown, ive had a few rounds with it and for the money it shoots superb! its very quiet and a hell lot lighter than the hw80! great video ive subbed
RWS Super H Points are one of my go to vermin shooting pellets. Brilliantly consistent to 35 yards whatever gun I have used them in.
Just bought a new one in .22 brilliant, thanks Giles
Thank you for another great video. I have an R9 and you have inspired me to practice more off hand stuff. Thanks again.
Wow that was impressive shooting. Bullseye on second standing shot.

Lovely looking air rifle
one of the loveliest guns...I threw Hatsan in rubbish when i bought this..
Got my hw 95 0n Friday 11/2/22., not had chance to try it out yet but going to the range Sunday, never had a springer before,,, looking forward to it.
Well, you can't beat a good springer.
“It’s nice and tight just like me”😄
Thanks for yet another great video....thumbs up!
Awesome review. Which one would you recommend between the hw95 and the hw50s ??
Your teachers were great.
You're showing the accuracy of the rifle. So in my opinion, it'd be better if you use bench and rests, which would minimize the human elements.
First air rifle I ever had and one of the best :-)
I'm going to get one soon what scope would you recommend with it mate?
Good review Giles Barry, interesting
Are you sure that stock is walnut ? It looked like the usual stained beech to me.
it looks like the beech stock on my R9 only that's the luxus model
I am 99% sure its beech.Its to plain to be walnut.
Its walnut , have a look at his review of the Walther Terrus , that's Beech you can clearly see the difference in the wood grain.
MickyMoz 95 never came in walnut. End of.
Definitely beech
i have a vid up off one of these and its always served me well :)

Its beech, weihrauch dont bother with fancy stocks on springers unless its a special.
Thank you for this comment.I was confused when changing pellets and missed the target
Hello! I would like to see HW80 next time if its possible. Thanks
Hi remoman that's the 2nd thing I did (had to put the scope on first) very intresting difrence seeing all the shots grouping around the size of a 10p at 25 yards, money well spent me thinks. :)
Great Rifle, and good shooting for standing shots with a springer. if you cant shoot a springer then you shouldnt shoot. ATB
Love this gun
It's this rifle supposed to be the equivalence of the Hatsan 95 in power because and everything else I know it's more superb
have you done a video on the HW80? possibly a review of both guns would be good?:D
I'm considering getting this air rifle and I was wondering if the Hawke 3-9x40 scope can take the shaking of the spring action? Many thanks.
As long as you buy a scope that is made for air guns it will take the action of a spring air rifle. You CANNOT use scopes made for firearms, they MUST be made for airguns.
using a hawke 4-12x50 Hd IR AO mil dot with this rifle....nice combination..looks impressive, delivers excellent results...
It's Hawke, not Hawk. And if it is compatible with air rifle use then yes you can use it. I'd personally verify this with the manufacturer specs. That they can be used for firearms, from Barrett's to 22lr rifles, means nothing because firearms are not spring air rifles and do not have double (front and back) recoil a springer would have.
Having said that i own two Hawke scopes on my HW95 and Fenix 400, and so far so good; no complaints of any kind.
***** Good job serving in military as a sniper. I personally do not think highly of people who voluntarily choose to participate in propagating our corporate interest onto foreign regions and foreign peoples, be they brown, jewish or russian "terrorists." I would have personally preferred one of many more decent occupational choices of yours.
Having said that, your experience shooting a firearm has no relevance to an experience of shooting a springer air rifle. It is obvious from your comments that you have not carefully shot a springer at a target. If you had you would know what i am talking about instead of sounding ignorant with respect to shooting springer air rifles ONLY, not including any firearms.
When the context of the conversation next times focuses on firearms, i will sure TRY and remember to have you chime in for your relevant and knowledgeable observations dealing with firearms.
You may want to read up on two way recoils of springer air guns, and perhaps you will understand what i am talking about. But in a nutshell, firearm only rated scopes are designed to take the recoil only one way--towards the back. These scope get destroyed on the second, of a two-way, recoil that a springer experiences when the cylinder hits the end of the compression chamber--2nd recoil towards the front. Unless a scope is designed for this second (or two way) recoil, it is not proper for an average springer even though it may be perfectly fine, as designed, for ANY firearm, including Barrett firearms.
The airmax is the Hawke scope for springers of this power. Just put a 3-9 x 40 on my hw 85. Same as hw95.
Love your videos, BUT . . . . . How could you possibly compare pellets when you are shooting standing, in the wind, shooting at a moving target? Come on. !
what air gun would you buy for garden plinking and hunting with a budget of between £450 and £550? (to include scope/mounts)
im buying a new one next month and would really value your advice
i have no preference between springer, ram or pcp, (but i do love simple, reliable, heavy springers)
im thinking weirauch hw80k, or is the hw90k better with theobens gas ram?
regards
will
usually the ones with the gold trigger are the combo models they come with every thing
What airgun did you end up buying just wondering
great review
i have owned a 95 in every cal 177 20 and 22 and to say they are not pellet fussy is silly as every barrel is different so just because that rifle wasn't (even tho i wouldnt be happy with any of the groups on those cards) doesnt meen to say that every rifle will be the same it also sounds so bloody twangy because its 177 and a quick tune and its a 100% better with less kick
+Dai Aston Which cal did you prefer in the 95?
+Steven Van Allemeersch well lets put it this way i still have the .20 and .25 haha and my .20 was very pellet fussy .25 meh not so much
+Dai Aston Thank you for the 'swift' reaction. Thought I had to wait a couple of months :-)
Think I'll get me a .22 in that case. Thx!
German craftmanship ...
ok ive watched this video many times and one thing always stumps me. where is the next section of the video ?
He ate it
Good stuff, big 'un.
nice vid mate
Nice shootin Nige
What scope do you suggest for this airgun?
George in Indonesia
I miss my one :(
I'm looking to get a spring air rifle with a good price and that comes with a scope and mounts but I am not sure what to rifle to buy ?
Would buy this over a BSA Lightning in an instant.
Love your videos but how could you possibly show accuracy with your target blowing all over the place?
oh dear. good commentary and well structured and thought out video but why oh why freestanding shots to show accuracy?
True, I could see it was beech straight away. Good review apart from that though.
You should test shoot it with front and rear bags to really test the accuracy.
I liked this video so much, I just bought one! 😂😂😂😂
Do you test 1.77 because this is you choice of caliber?
i paid £350 brand new without scope, distance topping at 50 yards for hunting or 60-68 target shooting
Out of 10 what rateing you give this rifle
Auto safe to use right up there with self-driving cars... you're just going to end up killing somebody.
Gun is obviously good.
That's not a silencer on the end it's a weight only I'd expect you to know that.
It's a very rosy peachy looking walnut?
Please review the Weihrauch Hw99s, fantastic starter rifle and would be great to see your thoughts and opinions about it.
Is this the normal length version or the “K” version?
no, just for the lenght, are u also able to tell me how fast does thee bullet goes with the 7.5j version (here in europe it's unlegal to own air guns with over 7.5 j).
very god video but i'm stil wondering why in a precision test u shoot without resting as u did in some other videos.
and do u know if there is also a version with the diopter.
Stock is not walnut! It's stained beech.
H&N Undisputed !!!
5/24/17 - Is the moderator threaded on or the sight removed and slipped on do you know which?
Can't find out much about how the new ones of today are made. Can not find out if the front sight unscrews or not.
Today on the Weihrauch website neither HW95 Std or Luxus show a moderator or if the front sight is removable or if you have to use on a slip on moderator. Looks like the did cheapen their quality by no longer threading the barrels.I would gladly pay extra for a threaded barrel. I live in the US. Thank You for your nice vids. Edw.L.
I imagine the suppressors are added only to guns shipped to countries where they are readily available to own or required or possibly fitted to them after they arrive in that country. In the US the only way you can buy a suppressed airgun is if the suppressor is permanently attached to or an integral part of the gun so that it cannot be removed and used on a firearm. You could of course go through the BATF approval process and pay for background check, fingerprinting and a tax stamp and buy a suppressor and have it fitted to your gun, then you could use it on any gun you own, assuming the caliber is the same.
no, just for the lenght, are u also able to tell me how fast does thee bullet goes with the 7.5j version (here in europe it's unlegal to own air guns with over 7.5 j).
very god video but i'm stil wondering why in a precision test u shoot without resting as u did in some other videos.
and do u know if there is also a version with the diopter.
and do u know if it's accurate also at 60 meters (resting)
i have this gun v mach tuned and i love it that much i shoot it more than my pcp's alot more
You should do a review on a bsa lighting xlse 177
How do you measure accuracy? Your body moves you need some clamp or something
That ain't Walnut and we all know it!
What is it ?
@@mitch1862 simple cheap beech
Why not review the hw99
He had one to review but he ate it.
:-(
Weihrauch is amazing. Great quality!
Weirauch (were) amazing. Standards been dropping sadly
@@SoberRider78 standards are still the same. What makes you think otherwise, sir?
This video misrepresents this rifle. That is definitely not a walnut stock. I also know Weihrauch air rifles and have several. The stocks are beech. I also worked in the forestry business and dealt extensively with furniture companies who bought cherry, oak and walnut from forests in the area for furniture making. I know walnut, and the gun in this video has no walnut on it. That is also not a "shoulder" pad on the rifle stock. It is a rubber recoil pad. These kinds of errors make a person wonder about how knowledgeable and conscientious these vendors are.
