Had one for twenty odd years now very accurate gun and quite heavy. I wrap the sling around my lead hand when firing it. This steadys it up well. Happy shooting with your new gun. Is that your stomach rumbling or the outside drain😅
@@789stv I know the sling can help when free standing, might be worth experimenting with one and different holds. I have no idea why the phone mic picks up every sound and amplifies it so much 😂
I bought a new HW90 in .20 cal. last September. It's absolutely fantastic. Reminds me of my Theoben Crow Magnum gad ram I had 20 years ago or so. I've been shooting it nearly every night to a lit up target area. Shooting JSB EXACT 13.73 gr pellets at 815 fps, 20 foot pounds. Incredibly accurate. I chose it because of my experience with the Crow Magnum. It's the king of break barrels as far as I'm concerned. I've shot nearly 1500 pellets through it so far and I cronograph it periodically to know if the power still remains but of course, I can tell by the cocking effort. Yep, still there. There is no other rifle I would want. The Sightron Scope, 30mm tube has held up well. Sportsmatch fully adjustable one piece mount is the one to get. Soon I'll have a moderator and two additional breech seals for stock.
This one needs a little love to get back to par but shouldn't take a lot? I've got a breech seal already knocking around that should help. The chrono is down on power but is a little awkward with mounting on the barrel so will try again when at the range. The standard deviation was good and tight over the 10 shots so hopefully just needs a clean, seals and a re gas as it were with the pump
Some day I may try another HW90. I bought one about 8 years ago in .177 along with a .20 caliber barrel and cocking arm so I could switch out the calibers. I think something was wrong with it as it had quite a snap to it as the piston hit the end of the compression tube. Quiet loud for the ear against the stock. I ended up returning it. Very cool design being how you let the air out of the gas ram to work on it, then pump it up to the desired pressure.
Not sure the large calibres are softer and better shot cycle over the .177? I agree, changing the pressure seems a bit quicker and less faff than chopping and compressing springs
In my haste to get this thing shooting lead, I completely forget to check anything 😂 I need to adjust the eye relief as I believe this was a big factor in the difference from zero to groupings and I'll give the rigger and stick screws a quick nip up
I stripped my HW90 and put new seals in, was a doddle. I also removed the inertia weight as they do stick a lot, fires a lot smoother. Get a slim Jim pump and have some fun!
Check your fillings are still in🤣 Am surprised that Bushmaster reticle is still intact H&NFTT’s, Superdomes, and Accupel types might be worth a try? Nice shooting BTW
@@keith6930 I will give a +1 to kevowski on pellet choice and another surprise is the NEW Spitfire Dome Cheap and cheerful but surprised in in my HW95, BTW I am now going to give those Wasps a go ☺
Seemed to get them when I was supporting it like I do with the other Weihrauch springers. It seems to like the front end supported with as little contact?
@@redpillnibbler4423 that's my usual hold for when using the springers. I'm going to change the scope and mounts as this could change the position in the shoulder as well and maybe tighten things up a little
Stringing on the target normal is caused by inconsistent trigger pressure or inconsistent shoulder placement, but you would think this would happen with all the other brands of pellets, your camera man was taking a long leak lol ,scope when back today and optic warehouse offered a full refund 👍 silly question as I've never shot a gas ram is there any twang as there's no spring ?
It's always gonna take a while to get in harmony with a new rifle and the thing I believe I struggled with was; the eye relief with the scope and the hold sensitivity of the front end. I'll deffo adjust the scope further back that's easy to change. I might go back to basics and shoot from the knee and see if I can figure just how much the rifle likes to be held. The nice thing about a gas ram I suppose, it lets go with a thud, no resonance or twang in sight
hello wen i saw that grouping ,i suspect the scope loose lenses or so . , . in the hw 90 there is a free moving weight in the piston , if thats not good working you get very different harmonics . and play in the barrell block or stock kan be a problem . try the good groups again , could be moving bigger again, scope lenses can get short time on the right place
Thanks I did tighten and nip up everything. But then again too tight can also be a problem 😆 The single scope mount doesn't have an arrestor block when checking so could be a factor. I'm going to try with another scope at the range and see if it's any different.
Yep, breech seal for sure as this one is very dry and flat. Probably needs a good clean and re gas and fingers crossed becomes a prizes possession as I did enjoy it
It's a .22 From the stock and the fact it's got Theobens on the breech it's an early one, the Weihrauch database says number is from 1992-2018 😂 Others have also confirmed an early model due to the trigger guard?
"I didnt intend to do it but I have bought a new rifle" said every shooter ever to their missus ..🤣🤣 excellent choice Keith 👍👍👍
That's for sure Vin, we all do it.
I think my wife has stopped asking now 😆
Accidentally on purpose!
@@redpillnibbler4423 that's the best kind of accident
You can't go wrong with a Weihrauch. I got my first one 2 weeks ago. HW95 Field Pro and I'm in love with it.
They know how to make a solid well performing rifle that's for sure.

Congrats man
Thanks, been on my shopping list for a while and finally found one and it had to be done
I'm not a gas ram fan, but I would not turn down an HW90!😃👍
As a gas ram virgin I can see why they made an impact when launched, very slick and quick shot cycle
Nice 😁 👍 Check you stock screws often buddy.

I've got a stirrup pump to go steady with and the adaptor as well.
I'm hoping it's as straight forward as the other Weihrauchs to dismantle
Check your fillings are still in🤣
Am surprised that Bushmaster reticle is still intact
H&NFTT’s, Superdomes, and Accupel types might be worth a try?
Nice shooting BTW
I've found that the older pellets to be a little in a springer like the Webley and and RWS.
I've got some Superdome to try out

Do you find you get flyers resting the forend on shooting sticks?
Seemed to get them when I was supporting it like I do with the other Weihrauch springers. It seems to like the front end supported with as little contact?
@@keith6930
Because of the recoil I wonder if it’s best to hold the forend as you would standing and lightly rest your hand on the stick to steady it?
@@redpillnibbler4423 that's my usual hold for when using the springers.

@keith6930 Nice one look forward to how your new bond will be with this one 👍
Nice choice, not shot mine for a while but pellets around the 14gn were good, early prems and hnftt, another Essex chap.
I've got a handful of other pellets to try, some rifles do prefer a heavier or lighter pellet that's for sure.
Sounds like a recreation of the scene in Naked Gun, where Frank leaves his mike on when he goes for a toilet break.....

Had a he 90,sirroco classic carbine and now bsa lightnig grt.they all shoot the same😉
Glad to hear it, like mine that's for sure
I had hw95 but I didn’t find it very accurate break barrels are not very accurate due to barrel movement each time barrel is broken
I think some rifles can be more prone to this. This will always be the weakest part of a break barrel rifle
This actually isn’t true and a good quality break barrel rifle like the hw90 will be just as accurate as a fixed barrel under lever
whats wit the bath water???
That was poor timing on my part and a very sensitive mic
Sounds like someone is taking a 🛁 bath lol.😂
Didn't time it very well that's for sure 😂
Your much more sophisticated than myself. I said it sounded like someone taking a piss! Lol
My best pellets all happen to be the most affordable 🤷♂️
It's always nice when they don't cost an arm and a leg
how can you do a video on an air rifle and not tell us what calibur?...also your groups are going vertical because your scope is walking back
Probably as I've later found that the scope mounts don't have an arrestor pin
probably needs a good service. nice gun . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i didn’t mean to buy it 🤣🤣🤣 sounds like me talking to the wife
You and me both mate 😂😂😂
Yep, breech seal for sure as this one is very dry and flat.
Probably needs a good clean and re gas and fingers crossed becomes a prizes possession as I did enjoy it
I don't think you said what caliber it is. It's either. 17 20 22 or 25. Any idea of its age?
It's a .22
From the stock and the fact it's got Theobens on the breech it's an early one, the Weihrauch database says number is from 1992-2018 😂
Others have also confirmed an early model due to the trigger guard?
sound level very low could hardly hear you. Such a pity.
A lapel mic is on the wish list and I'll sort one out before too long.
The phone mic is just too sensitive
You're shooting too fast. Let the piston seal cool down a bit between shots. Compression creates a lot of heat.
Could be, no idea what if any lube is left in the compression tube
Sounds like someone is having a piss!
😂
