I picked up a HW100KT before I saw this review. I preferred the balance of the carbine having tried both. It is my first PCP ever and its an amazing rifle, super accurate, easier to shoot than a springer and beyond beautifully made. I must admit that I was concerned about getting a PCP over a quality springer like the HW97, simply because of the air seals in all PCP's. If I was stuck on a desert island for 10 years and I had the choice to take along an either a HW100 with a hill pump or a HW97, I would go for the springer because I know it will just keep on going. I am not so sure how many years any quality PCP would perform, because of the Achilles heel of those seals. They will fail long before the main spring in a HW97k or similar. If it was only a 2 year stint, I would take the HW100, easier to shoot, multi-shot. Am I wrong to think that even a quality gun like the HW100 cant last as long as a quality springer long term?
It’s taken me 13 rifles to get it right,this is by far the best rifle I,or anyone will ever own,or need,I purchased the hw100 because of your review,and I’m glad I did,many thanks for the honest thought of the beautiful rifle,all I’ve to do now is empty my gun cabinet of the rifles I’ll no longer need,bless you buddy for the video
thoroughly enjoyed that review, glad to see no formal sponsorship etc , very well articulated and covered pretty much everything I wanted/needed to know.
Good review, Literally just bought myself the chin adjustable HW 100, havent zeroed it yet, but can't wait to get it on the field, mine is the 22 version
Hi there, took your advice and bought one. I actually order a TK not KT and it came as a KT but never mind. I am very happy with it also have the side winder 6.5-20x42 scope that too is amazing. Love your videos keep em coming
Nice review James. As a Weihrauch fanboy I've been considering the HW100 for years. But as an old timer I'm still a bit wary of PCPs . I like the simplicity of my HW95K. The charging paraphernalia puts me off . But maybe I'm just being a Luddite.
thanks! i'd say give one a try, see if anyone local has one that you could have a go with, you'll be hooked. i sold both of my daystates to make room for mine... never looked back! james
Fantastic review mate! I've been out of the sport for decades, blimey things have moved on! The last air rifle I had was an HW80, nice gun back in the day but quite heavy. These new ones look like they are much more accurate and I hope lighter too now that I am quite a bit older. Really enjoyed watching that video, very good indeed 👍
Yeah mate same here, air rifles definitely got better since I had my hw77, my mate had the 80 break barrel. I've watched a few vids showing this hw100 and it looks really good, I'm even thinking about getting back into a bit of shooting.
A superb review. Excellent dialogue and a great demonstration of this rifle. I am going to buy one of these, probably at the Shooting Show next week. Which Hawke Sidewinder do you have fitted? Which scope would you prefer or recommend to me? Thank you Oh this will be my first air gun.
thanks! to be honest if you have the money then any one of the sidewinder models will be your best bet. I run them on all 3 of my current air rifles. for the money they are really hard to beat! as for the rifle itself, if its your first rifle there is very little chance you'll ever need to buy another! it is by far the best rifle I own - or have ever owned! if you pick one up and you're on Facebook be sure to post up a picture ! James
Thank you for your helpful and kind reply. I think you've both convinced and inspired me to buy this rifle, I am looking forward to purchasing it next week at the Shooting Show, the Hawke scope too. It's only money!! Thank you.
HI James order placed HW 100 KT in the fully adjustable laminate HAPPY DAYS got the hawk Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 6-24x56 to Finnish it off, thanks for you videos and input mate So my set is complete, happy hunting regards paul ( the wife not happy ) LOL oops
Hi James. I have been getting accuracy issues with my Weihrauch of late. I thought my scope zero was shifting. I had an Enfield Scope fitted. I bought a Hawke Airmax SF30. Still had the issues of poor accuracy. Cleaned the Barrel, Made sure everything is tight and nothing coming loose etc. Its got me scratching my head as to the cause. I just cannot figure it out. It was fine out of the box. There is no damage to it and i am using the same JSB Exact 4.53 Pellets. It is totally stock other than an adjustable butt pad and a Bipod fitted.
Great review James, enjoy watching the channel. Picking my .22 laminate up in Thursday, can’t wait!!! Just out of interest as I might purchase one when I get it, what bipod do you recommend? It’ll be used out in the field for hunting... Cheers..
1st class as always i will be adding this to my collection of the s410 , brocock compatto and saving for this gun with a nice hawk scope thanks for good honest review
Nice real world review bud, yes they are IMO the best on the market and can hold their own with any airgun (subject to power being equal ) and had mine for just over 9 years. its never put a foot wrong in all that time even though I put an A&M cylinder on board, its the standard version at 11.5 ftlb and an FAC one at 28 ftlb again with the cylinder being A&M, I use them both every day for pest control and nothing else, I mean why would you when they are so accurate its astonishing ! Both are fed AA field pellets, a few down the club always wanted a go when I took it down when I was a member, not enough hours in the day for club shooting anymore and that's a shame as I miss the banter ! anyway thanks for sharing bud, atb phil
Im about to buy one of these but im suffering from the age old problem of .22 OR .177 - it will be used primarily for ratting up to about 30-35yrds max. I have read endless reviews of the pros and cons. Im edging towards the .22 as that is what i have been shooting up to now, but the flatter and straighter trajectory, and the fact i keep reading the .177 will be more forgiving range wise at night, which i will be using it with a PARD007V is really making me doubt my original choice and consider the .177. I know there is no right or wrong answer. But as someone that only started out a year or so ago, its become a major headache to decide :) - anyone's experience would be greatly received. As i said, main points, for ratting up to 30-35yrds, most of the time a lot less probably, Night use with the PARD007V. Any advice?
I own this exact gun and it's the mutts nuts, iv owned a a bsa r10 Daystate air ranger a Daystate Panther and another bsa R10 that was fully blue printed by John bowkett which was also shortened and had a bespoke moderator made by mr bowkett and it was amazing but this rifle beats the lot of them put together so if your thinking about getting one don't hesitate I guarantee you that you will be over the moon. 👍🏻
Fantastic review. To the point and totally relevant. So agree about the studs for slings etc. Why they don't add that as standard I don't know. This is a hunting gun and is probably the best for quality, accuracy, and ease of use at the price.
thanks! to be honest its personal preference. all my sub 12 airguns are .177 where as my fac airgun is .22... it really does come down to personal preference.
Great video, grest shooting too. I have the walnut version myself. I appreciate every gun favors different pellets, I'm just curious what you have tried and what works in best in yours?
thanks! to be honest most pellets i've put through it have been faultless. i've settled on Daystate sovereign's though, if i can't get them just JSB exacts work a treat, but like i say it really doesn't seem that pellet fussy. james
They are nice guns, years ago I had a hw77 underlever and I loved it. I might buy a hw100 in the future. Mate when you were hitting the gas bottle at 100 yds how much drop was there at that distance, and would it still have enough power to kill rats or rabbits??
I’d never condone shooting live quarry with a sub 12 at those ranges. The variables are too great and the retained power isnt enough. Long range TARGETS: the skill is how far. LIVE QUARRY: the skill is how close you can get.
Hi James, nice review! I have just purchased the same rifle only it will not group less than 3" dia.......any suggestion! I am shooting with JSB Exact .177 / 4.52 . Thanks
@mike beecham What scope are you using? have you checked to see if it holding Zero? (check attachments etc) I have no issue hitting the same hole when on a bi pod or cushion :)
mike beecham Check ... A. Stock retaining bolts are tight ( supplied Allen key ) B. Scope mounts too dovetail quite tight C. Scope mounts too scope body ( nipped up slightly tight , putting long part of Allen key in bolt , using short part too turn/tighten ) D. make sure moderator/silencer is tight on end of barrel E. Reset scope
Saw this review and a review of the BSA Ultra SE. Popped into Sandwell Field Sports. Tried both Rifles. Nothing between them, performance wise. The Ultra is lighter but has less shots. HW100KT has 2 Mags. Ultra only has one. Stock is better on the HW100KT and so is the trigger. The side loading lever is so smooth. The Ultra feels a bit stiff and clunky. I decided to go with the HW100KT in Walnut. It is the only Airgun i will ever buy or need. It is just soo good.
I've been to SFS a few times. The Hw100 is an amazing gun. I have one and the accuracy is second to none. There is no need for anyone to spend £1000s on other models
hi, just been and bought a hw100 177 this morning and it looks great, cant wait to test it out, i hope it turns out to be as good as the one on your video
What do you think of it mate, now you've had it a few months???? I used to be right into rabbiting with ferrets and dogs, also shooting and I'm dying to get back into shooting and wanna choose a good gun to buy. I've watched a few vids showing hw100 and I've not heard anything bad about it so just wanted to ask what you think of yours and would you recommend, what scope have you got on it mate??
Awesome review. I miss my hw100! Sold it in ignorance early on to buy the next big. Turned out to just be the next big mistake! Now to convince the wife I need to buy the same gun I sold again. Might be a 2 or 3 year campaign...🙈
Great review, beautiful rifle with very reliable German engineering. Is rifle powerful enough for vermin shooting ie rabbits, pigeons thanks for posting best wishes Bill.
Great video! I’m a novice and just getting in to the hobby and found this really informative. By any chance could you please tell me what exact scope it is in the video please? Cheers
Ps my apologies 850 quid all in ,, sounds good to me , can’t believe how quiet that is , an excellent all rounder ,, didn’t think a carbine would be that accurate with a shorter barrel,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Would like to know what Scope you are using on this Rifle. I shall be buying the rifle in the next few months, the one with the Cheek Adjuster on the Butt.
the weihrauch silencer is quieter - not by much, but it is. the hugget is still very quiet but looks miles better, plus it's shorter - which is why i picked it in the end. james
@@ReplicaReviews Thank you for your reply,it is much appreciated! The hugget certainly does look great. Is the rifle itself as quiet as it sounds in the video?
the sound will vary slightly as the camera always changes it slightly - but its still very quiet. i use this exact set up still for work on an almost weekly basis and its quiet enough to be used in buildings without causing any issues. equally as quiet outside, i'm happy with it.
@@ReplicaReviews what do you do for a living then mate?? I'm new to your channel so don't mean to sound ignorant. Do you do pest control for a living then?? If so I'm a bit jealous and would swap the building sites for it any day.
Hello, like the style of your vids. Do you know any left- handers who use the HW100? If you do, are they comfortable with it? Do they use the adjustable laminate stock or the standard ambidextrous ones? I especially wonder about the cocking lever, I wonder if you find yourself catching your self on the cheek, especially if wearing gloves in colder weather. Thanks for your time.
Thing is for a cylinder gun of this size thats about the norm... if you want more shots you’ll need to look at full length rifles and / or bottles rather than cylinders. James
The only problem with buying a grey import(none hull cartridge stamped)is you habebto send it back to Germany for any services under warranty.tbey are not fake or anything.hull cartridge had 4 goes at fixing my hw100.I'd NEVER buy another.
hi james looking to buy the HW100 HT in 177, just one question please I'm draw to the new green soft touch synthetic stock. some reviews love it some don't with a reference to it looking cheap !!!!!!! The gun is going to be a working pest control gun not a gun to hang above the fire place on show, the gun is still the same gun its just the stock I'm struggling with, any thoughts please mate. PS i have the brocock compatto deluxe black soft touch stock and love it
the gun you see here is kept in my van day in day out as a professional pest control marksman, gets dragged up ladders, chucked in a case - it's not had an easy life! i'd say its down to personal preference purely to be completely honest with you. if you like the coated stock go for it. i can't see there being any issues with whatever choice you make. james
Evening buddy I know it’s an old post now,but I’ve got a little problem with my hw100kt.177 if I zero in at 15 yards I’m hitting pellet on pellet,but when I go out to my 30 yards the pellets don’t hit anything,can you help please buddy,I love the rifle but it gets so annoying cheers jimmy
Hi just got my weinrauch hw100kt and purchased a hawk vantage 3-12×50 mil dot ir.As i noticed one of the scope mounts has grub screw stopper can i remove this as the scope is to far back if i set it in the hw100 top gun hole.Whats the best way to postion the scope mounts any ideas as my 1st rifle.
Nice review mate. I bought the hw110 in December it's been perfect, not missed a beat. Possible thinking about ordering a hw100 in 20cal. Have you noticed any difference between the 110 & 100 accuracy?
its a hard one, i think because i use the hw100 all the time i will always be more accurate with it to be completely honest. the trigger on the hw100 seems better though, a lot better. james
hi james paul again the QD stud that you used to replace the mounting bolt to fit a bi pod is it a standardQD stud ? or do i need a certain type ? if so what do i need please sorry for all the questions regards paul
hi paul. it's a qd stud that also replaces the front stock screw. if you google hw100 qd screw it should come up. once it's fitted, which is simply screwing it in like a normal bolt, you then have a standard qd stud to mount a whole manor of bipods to! hope that helps. james
i use .177 for everything... never had an issue. place your shot correctly and whatever you are targeting will drop much the same as if you hit it with a .22.
Hi there, looking into buying one of these I was wondering if you could tell me if carbine means it’s a really stubby rifle? Would really appreciate your response. Thanks Luke.
Dose it mean the 100 kt carbine is shorter than the 100 kt?? I’m new to this if you can’t tell lol, really want to get into it properly though, again would really appreciate your response, thank you Luke.
hi luke, as far as i knows theres 2 lengths of 100, the full length and the KT - the one shown here is the KT... the full length will obviously be longer.
I'm torn between this and the fx wildcat. Completely different rifles I know, I saw you've already got a video on the wildcat and what's better in your opinion?
with the new price increase it would be an easy choice for me, the hw! they used to be priced similar but even then the hw100 is the better made rifle by a long shot. they are both great, but the hw is just that bit better, everything with it just works. the price hike with fx hasn't been reflected with a quality rise, so yeh, i'd go for the hw100 any day. as i say in the review, this rifle gets used almost everyday by myself and has shot in some really horrible places, but it has never skipped a beat, ever! the wildcat however has, went back after 3 days and the loading mech still isn't smooth! james
I messaged on here about 3 years ago wanting one of these, finally after the long wait, 3 years later I bought one. I've not yet fired it due to not getting to the range with covid, Do you still have your Hw100? If so do you still use it?
i had one seal go in the cylinder about a year ago... but thats literally it. and to be fair it was an easy enough fix and cost like 2p in seals. i'm a bit sad; i put seal kits together for all my guns from bulk packs from machine shops, so when something goes wrong it can just get fixed. but 1 seal going over nearly like 8 years of heavy use - can't argue with that. james
@@ReplicaReviews That is very satisfying to know, I've yet to fire mine but tye gun has been tested and has the cirtificate. Am I doing the right thing leaving it at 150 bar while it's not in use? And does dry firing damage the pin?
Does anybody know if Weihrauch is planning a rifle with 80 or more fte? Want a gun with the power of the Daystate Wolverine but the quality of a Weihrauch. What to buy?
It’ll alter how the guns are set up to achieve the same velocity and accuracy, but from a day to day point of view - i doubt most shooters would notice the difference accuracy wise.
really depends on the barrel, each barrel will suite different pellets. best advice would be to get some sample packs and try as many different pellets as you can, then from those decide on the most accurate. james
only real answer to that is whatever ones work best in your own barrel... each gun will prefer different pellets... best to get out and get a few samples etc and test for yourself. james
The germans also pee rainbows and crap diamonds,... I get it, you have a serious stiffy for germans, but really it doesn't mather where it's built, but how it's built. I usually prefer not to pay the extra for made in germany, but for this one and the Hw40 i just had to. Thx, nice review. I can't wait for mine.

I am also asking can the hw100 last three years without breakdowns?
I own a HW100 , not a carbine, traditional walnut stock. it has never let me down and possesses phenomenal accuracy. Amazing rifle.
i think they are hard to beat, especially for the money! james
The way the safety only works when loaded is designed so that you know if the rifle is loaded or not. Brilliant feature that others lack
I personally wouldnt own a gun i cant make safe if i dont get my shot off.
I have an old webley xocet xs which works the same way
It’s taken me 13 rifles to get it right,this is by far the best rifle I,or anyone will ever own,or need,I purchased the hw100 because of your review,and I’m glad I did,many thanks for the honest thought of the beautiful rifle,all I’ve to do now is empty my gun cabinet of the rifles I’ll no longer need,bless you buddy for the video

James - what mag scope have you on your HW100 KT LM ? Excellent review. Have just put on my wish list for the new year in 177......of course :)
Im about to buy one of these but im suffering from the age old problem of .22 OR .177 - it will be used primarily for ratting up to about 30-35yrds max.

Would you say this gun exceeds daystate and fx rifles? :)
In regards to accuracy.

I have no issue hitting the same hole when on a bi pod or cushion :)

Check ...
A. Stock retaining bolts are tight ( supplied Allen key )
B. Scope mounts too dovetail quite tight
C. Scope mounts too scope body ( nipped up slightly tight , putting long part of Allen key in bolt , using short part too turn/tighten )
D. make sure moderator/silencer is tight on end of barrel
E. Reset scope
Brilliant review. I am a novice so this was very helpful

I used to be right into rabbiting with ferrets and dogs, also shooting and I'm dying to get back into shooting and wanna choose a good gun to buy. I've watched a few vids showing hw100 and I've not heard anything bad about it so just wanted to ask what you think of yours and would you recommend, what scope have you got on it mate??
Superb vid, about to buy one of these beauties, just wondering would I get a bit more accuracy from the standard length barrel
To be honest; for most normal shooters, you won’t really notice much difference other than shot count (larger cylinder)
Awesome review. I miss my hw100! Sold it in ignorance early on to buy the next big. Turned out to just be the next big mistake! Now to convince the wife I need to buy the same gun I sold again. Might be a 2 or 3 year campaign...🙈
you're not the first to do that, and i'm sure you wont be the last! best of luck!
I was going to get. One but the artimis m16d is more my cup of tea it's like a cheapo theoben rapid lol
The only things I don’t like about this rifle is the fill probe and the placement of the gauge...everything else is perfect.
Now that was a useful review. Cheers.
Thanks! Appreciated. James
I just ordered a HW100 KT Laminate. Thanks for the great review. What scope and mounts do you use on yours?
hi chris, i use sportsmatch mounts with all of my rifles. just the standard ones here and then the adjustable ones on the impact. james
Great video I just wondered if you would prefer this HW100KT over the Wolverine R B-Type? I am looking at both and totally not sure which one to get?
i cant say i've used the daystate so couldn't compare, sorry,
Great review, thanks a lot!
thanks, you're welcome! james
Great review, beautiful rifle with very reliable German engineering. Is rifle powerful enough for vermin shooting ie rabbits, pigeons thanks for posting best wishes Bill.
It is indeed. Its my go to rifle at work and has served me very well over the years i’ve owned / used it. James
Hi,
Great review. What moderator did you say you are using on this gun?
its a huggett belita
Great video!
I’m a novice and just getting in to the hobby and found this really informative.
By any chance could you please tell me what exact scope it is in the video please?
Cheers
its a hawke sidewinder, full review on the channel!
excellent video mate. think I might get myself one as a present to myself 😆
thanks! you certainly wont be disappointed! james
Ps my apologies 850 quid all in ,, sounds good to me , can’t believe how quiet that is , an excellent all rounder ,, didn’t think a carbine would be that accurate with a shorter barrel,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Its certainly a very accurate rifle. Weihrauch know what they’re doing! James.
Great review iv a hw 100 and shot a lot of others but the 100 is far the best Pcp on the market
thanks! i think value for money wise it's very hard to beat
Would like to know what Scope you are using on this Rifle. I shall be buying the rifle in the next few months, the one with the Cheek Adjuster on the Butt.
Great review,very honest and informative. Do you prefer the hugget silencer to the weirauch one?
the weihrauch silencer is quieter - not by much, but it is. the hugget is still very quiet but looks miles better, plus it's shorter - which is why i picked it in the end. james
@@ReplicaReviews Thank you for your reply,it is much appreciated! The hugget certainly does look great. Is the rifle itself as quiet as it sounds in the video?
the sound will vary slightly as the camera always changes it slightly - but its still very quiet. i use this exact set up still for work on an almost weekly basis and its quiet enough to be used in buildings without causing any issues. equally as quiet outside, i'm happy with it.
@@ReplicaReviews Thank you
@@ReplicaReviews what do you do for a living then mate?? I'm new to your channel so don't mean to sound ignorant. Do you do pest control for a living then?? If so I'm a bit jealous and would swap the building sites for it any day.
Hello, like the style of your vids. Do you know any left- handers who use the HW100? If you do, are they comfortable with it? Do they use the adjustable laminate stock or the standard ambidextrous ones? I especially wonder about the cocking lever, I wonder if you find yourself catching your self on the cheek, especially if wearing gloves in colder weather. Thanks for your time.
i don't. i can however shoot ambidextrously, so i'll give it a try left handed as it's not something i've tried with my hw100 personally. james
Much appreciated
Loving that range .
Great looking and accurate gun but only about 50 shots per fill
Thing is for a cylinder gun of this size thats about the norm... if you want more shots you’ll need to look at full length rifles and / or bottles rather than cylinders. James
What is the difference between the karbine and the standard WH100 - energy wise and accuracy ?
The only problem with buying a grey import(none hull cartridge stamped)is you habebto send it back to Germany for any services under warranty.tbey are not fake or anything.hull cartridge had 4 goes at fixing my hw100.I'd NEVER buy another.
hi james looking to buy the HW100 HT in 177, just one question please I'm draw to the new green soft touch synthetic stock. some reviews love it some don't with a reference to it looking cheap !!!!!!! The gun is going to be a working pest control gun not a gun to hang above the fire place on show, the gun is still the same gun its just the stock I'm struggling with, any thoughts please mate. PS i have the brocock compatto deluxe black soft touch stock and love it
the gun you see here is kept in my van day in day out as a professional pest control marksman, gets dragged up ladders, chucked in a case - it's not had an easy life! i'd say its down to personal preference purely to be completely honest with you. if you like the coated stock go for it. i can't see there being any issues with whatever choice you make. james
cheers james decisions decisions LOL
great vid ,i love mine cant fault them,good shooting
thanks! james
very comprehensive!!! thanks I'd pay for more something a little prettier too, beautiful stock
thanks! it's well worth the money!
Lovely rifle mate
thanks!
Evening buddy I know it’s an old post now,but I’ve got a little problem with my hw100kt.177 if I zero in at 15 yards I’m hitting pellet on pellet,but when I go out to my 30 yards the pellets don’t hit anything,can you help please buddy,I love the rifle but it gets so annoying cheers jimmy
hey great video how do you fill up in the field pump or compressed air bottle
thanks! i've got a bottle that i take out with me. stays in the car and i just go and fill up as and when i need to. james
Hi just got my weinrauch hw100kt and purchased a hawk vantage 3-12×50 mil dot ir.As i noticed one of the scope mounts has grub screw stopper can i remove this as the scope is to far back if i set it in the hw100 top gun hole.Whats the best way to postion the scope mounts any ideas as my 1st rifle.
Is this the 177 how many shots do you get out of it?
very good vid well done ,
thanks!
Nice review mate. I bought the hw110 in December it's been perfect, not missed a beat. Possible thinking about ordering a hw100 in 20cal. Have you noticed any difference between the 110 & 100 accuracy?
its a hard one, i think because i use the hw100 all the time i will always be more accurate with it to be completely honest. the trigger on the hw100 seems better though, a lot better. james
Hi james this set up the HW 100 and scope, what do you have your zero set at for this combination regards paul
hi paul. i've got it zero'd to 35 yards at the moment as thats the range i seem to shoot the most at. james
i never ever wear my glasses when looking down a scope
Hello mate, many thanks for your review. The only question I have is can this cabine version use normal version long air cylinder?
quite possibly, it would more than likely end up being longer than the barrel though!
@@ReplicaReviews so if the normal version has a longer cylinder do you get more shots than the carbine version, and if so how many??
hi james paul again the QD stud that you used to replace the mounting bolt to fit a bi pod is it a standardQD stud ? or do i need a certain type ? if so what do i need please sorry for all the questions regards paul
hi paul. it's a qd stud that also replaces the front stock screw. if you google hw100 qd screw it should come up. once it's fitted, which is simply screwing it in like a normal bolt, you then have a standard qd stud to mount a whole manor of bipods to! hope that helps. james
thank you
Nice simple review... 1 question; .177 for pest control? or is this your target rifle?
I own a .22 HW100 Carbine also :)
i use .177 for everything... never had an issue. place your shot correctly and whatever you are targeting will drop much the same as if you hit it with a .22.
Amazing Gun!
it certainly is! the germans know what they're doing! james
+ReplicaReviews I wonder how the $400 Gamo Urban would compare with such a top end rifle?
Do you have to count the number of pellets fired - or will the gun not fire empty?
you have to keep a count. as it'll load without a pellet in the gun. james
Hi there, looking into buying one of these I was wondering if you could tell me if carbine means it’s a really stubby rifle? Would really appreciate your response. Thanks Luke.
Dose it mean the 100 kt carbine is shorter than the 100 kt?? I’m new to this if you can’t tell lol, really want to get into it properly though, again would really appreciate your response, thank you Luke.
hi luke, as far as i knows theres 2 lengths of 100, the full length and the KT - the one shown here is the KT... the full length will obviously be longer.
I'm torn between this and the fx wildcat. Completely different rifles I know, I saw you've already got a video on the wildcat and what's better in your opinion?
with the new price increase it would be an easy choice for me, the hw! they used to be priced similar but even then the hw100 is the better made rifle by a long shot. they are both great, but the hw is just that bit better, everything with it just works. the price hike with fx hasn't been reflected with a quality rise, so yeh, i'd go for the hw100 any day. as i say in the review, this rifle gets used almost everyday by myself and has shot in some really horrible places, but it has never skipped a beat, ever! the wildcat however has, went back after 3 days and the loading mech still isn't smooth! james
+ReplicaReviews thanks James, definitely gives me something to think about
I note that its sound us very low , did u add anything to make it lower while i have one but shooting sound is higher
no it's just that quiet...
Hello. Can I get a longer air cylinder for more shots for a KT version? Thanks
you can get custom / aftermarket ones... but to be honest you may as well have just gone for a full length rifle by the time you start modding it.
Does the Air Gun Centre sell Hull Cartridge guns.
i would think so? best advice - ask them directly. james
thinking of getting back into shooting would you recommend this over s410f super light ?
not used one myself but i'm sure being air arms it will be a good rifle. james
I messaged on here about 3 years ago wanting one of these, finally after the long wait, 3 years later I bought one.
I've not yet fired it due to not getting to the range with covid,
Do you still have your Hw100? If so do you still use it?
Great news; enjoy! I’ve still got my HW - same spec as it was shown here, comes with me to work everyday! James
@@ReplicaReviews thanks for the response mate, have you had any issues with it?
i had one seal go in the cylinder about a year ago... but thats literally it. and to be fair it was an easy enough fix and cost like 2p in seals. i'm a bit sad; i put seal kits together for all my guns from bulk packs from machine shops, so when something goes wrong it can just get fixed. but 1 seal going over nearly like 8 years of heavy use - can't argue with that. james
@@ReplicaReviews That is very satisfying to know, I've yet to fire mine but tye gun has been tested and has the cirtificate. Am I doing the right thing leaving it at 150 bar while it's not in use?
And does dry firing damage the pin?
Does anybody know if Weihrauch is planning a rifle with 80 or more fte? Want a gun with the power of the Daystate Wolverine but the quality of a Weihrauch. What to buy?
Does the rifle have to have Hull Cartridge printed on it
If you’re in the UK and want the full warranty support of the official importer then yes.
Are the air cylinders for the HW100 interchangeable?
You can take them off and fit a second if you wanted to yes. I’ve done similar when i’ve run out of air before whilst out.
Does barrel size matter for velocity and accuracy?
It’ll alter how the guns are set up to achieve the same velocity and accuracy, but from a day to day point of view - i doubt most shooters would notice the difference accuracy wise.
Wicked bit of kit ....
it certainly is, thanks! james
What is the best make 177 pellets for this gun?
really depends on the barrel, each barrel will suite different pellets. best advice would be to get some sample packs and try as many different pellets as you can, then from those decide on the most accurate. james
What pellets would you suggest for the .22 rifle
the ones that group best in your barrel. you'll need to spend time finding out which one this will be as each barrel is different. james
What pellets work best for this gun ?
only real answer to that is whatever ones work best in your own barrel... each gun will prefer different pellets... best to get out and get a few samples etc and test for yourself. james
what scope do you suggest on hw100kt that is within $100 and below range? thanks
maybe something like a hawke sports hd?
What size sports mounts have you used?
they are high mounts due to the size of the scope objective
Would you say this is better than the bsa r 10?
Each are both very capable rifles - but as for which is best, thats a personal thing that only you’ll be able to answer. James
Is that a Hawke Sidewinder TAC 30 8.5-25X42?
it's not no. i have one of those fitted on my impact though, works well.
ReplicaReviews what scope do you have on it and magnification?
I want that stock please Thank you
What model is the scope please ?
its a hawke sidewinder
How many shots are you getting with this air rifle
i get about 4 mags worth before i start thinking about refilling.
@@ReplicaReviews are you sub 12ft lb or are you fac must be fac if only getting 40
this one is sub 12. i can get more from it - but 4 mags worth (56 shots) takes me to just above where it falls off reg...
nice 😊 👍
thanks!
The germans also pee rainbows and crap diamonds,... I get it, you have a serious stiffy for germans, but really it doesn't mather where it's built, but how it's built. I usually prefer not to pay the extra for made in germany, but for this one and the Hw40 i just had to. Thx, nice review. I can't wait for mine.
where is a purchase of one of these possible I'm in America btw
you'd have to find your local weihrauch dealer or look online. james
ReplicaReviews air need to fine the Belen air rifle weihrauch hw 100k
