Just bought one second hand in perfect condition and with a carrot walnut wooden custom made riffle but. It’s a beautiful gun and it’s shooting hole in hole on 15 meters.
Great for ratting, pest birds, rabbit, squirrel, etc. Awesome for plinking of course! As others have mentioned, hand warmers in the winter time help a lot. A little "massage"/tune = 700+fps in .22 cal and will not mean a large sacrifice when properly performed.
I have the 850 magnum with the wooden stock. It uses the 12g co2 cartridges, it's very accurate and bulk 12g co2 is cheaper than the 88g. The rifle also looks better than the standard plastic version. Another advantage is you can remove the co2 cartridge adaptor after use without loss of the co2.
Nice video as always Andy. I have the same gun in cal 22. I put a HPA paintball 13cu tank on mine. its regulated at 850 psi. it gives very stable velocitys because of the regulator in the tank. It shots H&N FTT 14,8 grn pellets at an ave 630 fps and is very accurate with them to. Great rifle indeed. Take care my friend and have a nice weekend. Regards Rune
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that grouping! Superb, never fancied the idea of the 88g but with that adaptor I would consider one. It's basically a c02 Walther rm8.
Hammeri 850 air magnum is oned by hammeri by thay use lother walther barrals . Walther bough hanmeri 850 and made 1250 dominator first yas not a good sella in the uk and usa so had a nother go with a buddy bottle type air tank . it was a winner . thats what i came across from other reviews .
I bought one of these in .177 caliber. I had it 2 years and out of the blue the valve assembly failed and when you thread a new tank on it just dumps all the gas in about 10 seconds. I priced a new valve assy. and it's $100. I'm tempted to buy another in .22 caliber since I regretted not getting the 22 in the first place. Overall it really was a superior rifle but I feel like Hammerli owes me a valve at a reasonable price at least. I did try replacing the O-ring which is how I learned that it was the valve.
So! Where do I acquire the 850 with these accessories? I’ve been a powder burner for 55 years and an instructor and competitive shooter. I have recently researched and mostly watch air technology. Impressive! This is good next transition without the pump. I have two NP’s, Multi-pump, and two minor custom built CO2’s for my wife and myself. Both certified multiple discipline 2nd “A” instructors. Like the silence.
Maybe I was just unlucky but I wouldn't touch another one of these with a bargepole ! The first one I had was the earlier version with the wooden stock and no cover for the CO2 cartridge. The first time I took it out it jammed (to cut a long story short the probe was actually pulling pellets out of the mag backwards) I took it back to the shop who fiddled about with it and returned it to me. But, no matter what type of pellet I tried, the same jam kept occurring. Six times I returned it until I eventually got my money back. A couple of years back I saw the new Hammerli polymer version at another retailer. I was assured that the old problem had been recognised and dealt with so I decided to give it another go. Within a few mags being put through it at my clubs ranges exactly the same problem started all over again !! The gun was returned to the retailer twice but still the problem persisted. Eventually their in house Gunsmith agreed that the probe was actually pulling the pellets out backwards and jamming the cocking mechanism and it appeared to him to be an inherent problem and agreed another full refund. I ended up replacing it with a PCP and will never return to CO2 rifles for serious shooting. Buy one of these at your peril !
Yes there are ~ you need to hunt around online for the lowest prices, and choose known brands. For example, I bought 500 (five hundred) 12g Umarex CO2 canisters for GB£135. That works out to 27p each !
I have the Walther RM8 and apart from it being CO2 and different stock pattern that is the same gun. The safety catch I feel is cheap and nasty but not a bad rifle overall.
Das Hammerli 850 Magnum ist eines der besten .22 Luftgewehre. Stilvoll, einfach zu bedienen; Die Magazine fassen 8 Pellets und der Bolzen ermöglicht ein schnelles Schießen. Höchste Empfehlung.
Very nice.. review and rifle. Thank you! :) Gotta consider buying one of these myself too. Lots of 88g cartridges stacked at home cuz own a Sig MCX. Would be sweet to own a target co2 rifle also.
I have one of these in .177 and don't seem to get above about 8.5ftlb with AA Diabolo Field 8.4gr on a moderate (ie not cold) day. I also have an RM8 in .177 which shot 10.5 ft lb same ammunition, same day. Thought it might be an issue with the adapter but shot the same on an 88g cart.
I've been interested in this rifle for ages, think this review has just put it on my next to buy list but only because I own one of those 88g to 12g adapters, the price of 88g co2 is just silly. Great review Mr.
Wonder if its better, to use 12 gram CO2 cartridges rather than the 88gram. The 88gram might get a bit low and not be effective enough, then have to waste half the tank..where as replacing a couple of 12 grams isn't so expensive.
Sometimes the metal mags can give you jamming problems, the plastic mags are much better. I've read about this problem many times and the plastic mags fix the fault.
If you don't want to shoot the gun after you load it to put in the magazine just pull back the bolt and push the safety in and pull the trigger the it won't fire amt pellets
Have one of these & also an RM8 Varmint both in 177. I use the Walther C02 adapter most of the time, but find that with some C02 capsules I need to put a 5p coin as a spacer between the capsules otherwise it will loose the seal on the screw in tab and vent all the C02, sometimes damaging the small O ring in the process.
As always a very goog show may I suggest you have a look at the Walther RM8 vermint it's a very very good rifle not given the lime light that it deserves keep up the good work from tony
I’ve spent 20 years in the US firearms industry, but I’m not that in touch with modern airguns. I have a question......would it make sense to build a co2 gun that is also a springer as an option, for extra power, or just extend the range usage of the Co2? I know you boys across the pond might have legal issues, but in the US, do you see it as a viable option, or a waste of a workable gun?
Hi Andy, any chance you can do a review of the new HW110k? I know you’re a fan of the original 110 and I’m curious to see how it performs in comparison to its “big brother”
you didnt explain what the adaptor does, how it takes 2 x 12g canisters?, and if its included...you also didnt state if the 88g canister comes with the rifle and if its refillable??
Hey, I have been thinking about Gamo gx-40 but now I m not sure what to buy. Gamo gx-40 with all (optic, silancer etc.) is more than 700$, so should I buy Gamo gx-40 or Hammerli 850 air magnum?
It’s personal choice, I have reviewed the Gamo GX-40 too, and really liked it. I am currently reviewing it as a full package here in the U.K. a terrific gun.
Personally I wouldn't buy a co2 rifle I bought something similar to this year's ago and it stopped working the first time out with it I took it back to the place in Sheffield and upgraded to a Springer a HW80. I think for that kind of money I'd go for a precharged 100%
I have an idea for manufacturer engineers of air guns= make a multi chamber pneumatic. Say 2 or 3 smaller chambers that you cock. Then you have 3 shots to fire. .... just an idea I just had

Had one of these for years. It's very good and accurate on the range.
I just got one. Very different from what I have seen
Have bought one for my daughter, rifle is excellent, very accurate and easy to shoot. We love it..
Just bought one second hand in perfect condition and with a carrot walnut wooden custom made riffle but.

Andy, I love your show! It's made me want to but an air gun again after many years of absence :)

Hammeri 850 air magnum is oned by hammeri by thay use lother walther barrals . Walther bough hanmeri 850 and made 1250 dominator first yas not a good sella in the uk and usa so had a nother go with a buddy bottle type air tank . it was a winner . thats what i came across from other reviews .
Been looking at one of these for a while now, glad you finally reviewed it. Great for people who can’t afford a pcp and the filling equipment

Tengo uno y es maravilloso de disparar y preciso... Divertidísimo.
de acuerdo..........

My bolt has jammed since purchase. Upon trying to load it doesn't cock the rifle but does push another pellet in the chamber.

my ones great you just need gun oil
Nice review Andy. Looks like a lot of stuff for the money. Also there are good deals to be had out there on 88g and 12g co2 if you buy in bulk.
Yes there are ~ you need to hunt around online for the lowest prices, and choose known brands. For example, I bought 500 (five hundred) 12g Umarex CO2 canisters for GB£135. That works out to 27p each !
The first time i have ever seen a CO2 air rifle in real life. Cheers for that. I never thought about one in till now. I am certainly impressed
I have the Walther RM8 and apart from it being CO2 and different stock pattern that is the same gun. The safety catch I feel is cheap and nasty but not a bad rifle overall.
i shoot magpies at 40 to 45meters with this great gun. in winter i put handwarmers in the space where co2 houses. works
perfect
What a brilliant idea👍
I did exactly the same with hand warmers, didn't notice a.lot of difference though.
They are simple to convert to using a regulated air bottle which raises them to another level.
How would you go about doing that? I'm looking to get one.. Thanks
I've seen this rifle adapted to HPA bottles ;)

ya
Very nice.. review and rifle. Thank you! :)
Gotta consider buying one of these myself too. Lots of 88g cartridges stacked at home cuz own a Sig MCX. Would be sweet to own a target co2 rifle also.
I've always wanted a refillable CO2 for mine.
can the iron site and front site come off i dont like that idea
Review more it's very interesting to see for us it's impossible to find
I have one of these in .177 and don't seem to get above about 8.5ftlb with AA Diabolo Field 8.4gr on a moderate (ie not cold) day. I also have an RM8 in .177 which shot 10.5 ft lb same ammunition, same day. Thought it might be an issue with the adapter but shot the same on an 88g cart.

When you use the adapter do you lose power in the shot ?

Surely these dont need a suppressor?

Where did you purchase the guns from any recommend site?
Good review keep it up.👍
I recommend pellpax

A gas powered walther rm8 , plus those 88g cartridges are dear to buy !
Andy - have you covered the Benjamin Armada?
What’s the difference between that and the Brocock?
Hi Andy, any chance you can do a review of the new HW110k? I know you’re a fan of the original 110 and I’m curious to see how it performs in comparison to its “big brother”
I liked mine but it broke the 2nd time some thing wrong inside the bolt and trigger box.
you didnt explain what the adaptor does, how it takes 2 x 12g canisters?, and if its included...you also didnt state if the 88g canister comes with the rifle and if its refillable??
Great review bud. That looks like they borrowed a few parts from the walther rotex there lol. Never had a co2 rifle I'm quite intrigued by 1 now
I think the Rotex is basically a PCP version of the 850
Hi Andy
Would you do a HPA/PCP conversion on this gun for us please?
Many thanks,
Frank
Hi andy , I looking for a budget co2 multi shot rifle for ratting , can you recommend some please
Love your reviews big fan I own one myself just no offence intended
Seems pretty good for the price, but I'm not a fan of automatic safeties.
Hey, I have been thinking about Gamo gx-40 but now I m not sure what to buy. Gamo gx-40 with all (optic, silancer etc.) is more than 700$, so should I buy Gamo gx-40 or Hammerli 850 air magnum?

Would this have the power to do a rabbit?
Is this ok for shooting rats. Or should I go for the umerex 850-2.
To make the review complete you should have fired it with the 88 gram co2. That is what this rifle is designed for.
is it legall in germany
I had one of these the bolt action was awful and accuracy was nowhere near as good as you are showing here sold it within a month.
then you has a really bad one, ours is accurate as hell and very smooth to operate
I have an idea for manufacturer engineers of air guns= make a multi chamber pneumatic. Say 2 or 3 smaller chambers that you cock. Then you have 3 shots to fire. .... just an idea I just had
That's it lay it on the bolt why not 😂😂
jpduk1 lol man
It’s is a terrible gun
