I fettle my own springers etc (trained engineer) have to say best video review I’ve seen on this gun,thinking of getting one of these.. and you have convinced me good to see it in action and really informative review , thanks for uploading 👍👍
Superb guns, and you are dead right about good break-barrels being as accurate as underlevers. In order for a HW98 to become inaccurate you need to treat it so badly that the same treatment would affect the accuracy of ANY airgun, underlever or breaker. Just keep the pivots tight but not overtight and give the pivot point a strip, clean and re-lube every six months or so and it will outlast you.
For about the 1st. decade the HW98 was offered they were an exceptional value. Given the cost of the hardware and production costs for the stocks. Weihrauch did eventually raise the price more inline with the actual costs. Up to that point both the stock maker and Weihrauch had suffered the burden, but still if you were to acquire a similar stock format it would still never the less cost you significantly more ! I personally think they have Always been a brilliant design made specifically for the HW 95 format and absolutely 100% competitive with the HW 77/97 formats. I personally think Weihrauch nailed it once again coming straight out of the Gate but it's taken almost 2 decades for folks to figure that out for themselves. These days fine competitive optics are readily available in shorter formats that easily accommodate break barrel formats and that's just not really an issue... 🤷🏼♂️ Still that's an exceptional example ! 😃👍
Now I'm wishing I had an early example in my collection! I suspect these got lost in the mix when the market shifted towards more modern looking magnum airguns. It's a shame, people are really missing out on what is an excellent rifle. It's certainly is easier finding scopes that properly fit the HW98 compared to the HW50S. 😀
@@Guru1ofatl Fact ! I was always dazzled what Aimee could pull off with an HW50S (If someone overlooks the accomplishment in that, they are clearly NOT paying attention !) The HW50S Is my favorite format and I choose to believe there is a scope out there that can both fit the format and accommodate proper ranging. With the 95/98 format this becomes either more realistic or given modern optics "factual science". My favorite glass to date for the HW50S Is a Hawke 4-12×50 mounted on a Diana ZR Mount and sporting a Micro-Level. 😉👍

@@Guru1ofatl My biggest challenge with the HW50S is that the forearm is tall and thin. Many target stocks will maintain a 6° taper to the palm, making the hold self centering. So the factory stock "Which in my opinion is a Utilitarian Work Of Art" wants to tip. Given the height this can make it a little sensitive. I had originally planned on putting the Micro-Level on my Hawke Airmax 6-24×50 but came to discover that the cowl could not really accommodate the 30mm ocular barrel, but it did fit spot on perfect with the Hawke 1" ocular barrel, relegating it's installation on the HW50S.

I agree, I think the 95 and 98 are basically the same, long stroke versions of the 99/50. They all shoot remarkably well in my experience but I think the 98 just fits me best.
@@Guru1ofatl No doubt, super nice 🙂👍. I took 4 cottontail's 🐇🐇🐇🐇 with my HW95 Luxus 22 this morning. No Field Target groups in South Dakota that I know of. I'm definitely an odd ball spring piston airgunner up here in the frozen land. I love my HW springers🙂👍.
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 I love the challenge of hunting with a springer, very similar to bow hunting in many respects. Field target clubs can be hard to come by over here but hunting is definitely plentiful. What a great way to start the day! Rare to see that many rabbits around here with all of the coyotes lately.
I've got the 95 and a R1 they both are good. My only issue is when coming to turning I feel the Tx200 is hands down the best to own if of course you plan to tinker with it tuning wise. It's accuracy is good and stupidly simple to tear down in less than 10 minutes.
The big downside to break barrels in my opinion is the long transfer port. The shorter port on most side or under levers makes tuning them more gratifying. While I love my HW97, I wish it was as easy to work on as the TX200.
TX 200 4 Minutes, HW 97 5 Minutes... BUT ! You don't need a Spring Compressor for the TX ! 😃👍 A lot of content providers make stripping a Springer look like brain surgery... 🤦🏼♂️ That's not exactly the spirit of Air Gunning. 😕 "MANY" Sub 12fpe. Rifles can be taken down without a Spring Compressor. 😉
@@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893 I can't say I've taken the time to measure either of these. Will definitely make a point of doing so next time. Thanks for the info.
The most basic TX's (right handed beech stock) are roughly 60~70% more expensive than any Weihrauch and they really aren't 60% better. My neighbour has a TX, I have a HW97 and we both sit and put pellet after pellet through 1/2" holes at 30m.
I have the charcoal grey laminate version of the '98 .177, it needed a full overhaul and tune which is obscene considering the cost of these premium rifles from new but there it is I guess. I would say a manual breech latch would of been appropriate seeing this Weihrauch rifle is mostly target orientated.
Love the looks of the grey laminate! I have to agree though, there is a bit to be desired when it comes to internal fit and finish sometimes. The more recent ones do seem to be a bit better than what I was seeing during COVID though. Love the feel and added security of a manual latch. What were you addressing with the overhaul and tune on yours?
While the breech latch really isn't necessary with the Weihrauch anvil pawl... The Olde HW55 Cam lever would have added A LOT Of Class and put the cherry 🍒 on top. I'd probably have one in the rack already ! 😂
Great video! looking to buy my first Weihrauch Springer. hard decision between the HW 80 because I like shooting open sites and scope and the Hw 98. Love the extreme power of the HW 80, but that 98 is an awesome looking rifle. Using for plinking, target practice,pesting and small game hunting. If SHTF !!! LOL
The HW98 and 95 are basically the same gun. The 95 has iron sights and lacks the barrel weight but is otherwise identical. The HW50S/99 is a short stroke version of them which produces a bit less power but is more compact. The HW80 is a hammer and produces great power with a lot of recoil. I've gotten reasonable accuracy out of them but not quite to the same level as the others. Personally, I prefer the 98/95/55 since they are easier to cock and handy in the woods due to their light weight and reasonable length. Let me know which one you end up going with. I think you'll be pleased regardless.
I have to agree that shroud really isn't the right term, but it isn't solid either. I guess barrel weight is probably most accurate. Either way, it is a welcomed addition in my opinion.
Shrouded barrel? Kenada said I can't have it then 😁 [Is it a suppressing shroud or just a thick barrel/added weight?] The cheek piece sure is a nice feature! Id take one! Not sure that I want a Vortex scope tho 🤔
Unless Kanada has a problem with fashion and weight, you should be good. There's no sound suppression here.😁 The end is threaded so you can add an accessory though. Clarity was good and I did like the reticle. Still not sure about the turrets but haven't tried lubricating the o-rings yet.
@@LowkeyAirgunner The thing about Weihrauchs is they have all the warranty you'll ever need by Virtue of their own fine production Quality ! 🤷🏼♂️ That's been Weihrauchs Hat Trick since the day they opened the gates. 😉👍
Couldn't agree more, it _is_ stupid accurate for a break barrel springer, I get _almost_ the same groups with my mate's TX200 as I do with my own HW98. Personally, I don't think I'm ever going to come across a spring gun I'll like as much.
It's unbelievable how easy it is to shoot this rifle accurately. I think it took me longer to figure out what my 97 liked than it did this one. Having shot this one a few times now, the 98 is on my short list for new airgun purchases.
@@Guru1ofatl Lol, we sound like Weihrauch is paying us for this, or _should_ be. But yeah, it's a remarkably accurate gun, I've found that my version, which is the older one with the longer barrel and no threaded muzzle prefers H&N Barracuda Match in 4.50, I've tried the same pellet in 4.51 and 4.52 but simply don't get as tight a grouping as I do with the 4.50s. My buddy and I have bled our local ammo dealer dry of these pellets for now, so we can only get the 4.52s and have to resize them, and although it's boring work doing so the results are totally worth it.

@@Guru1ofatl Yup, my HW100 preferred the H&N FTT back in the days when it was in .22, but then I changed it to .177, and haven't had a chance to shoot it at any decent distance yet. It'll be interesting to see what it likes now.
@@mace8873 now that I think of it, I’ve had very few guns that didn’t do reasonably well with them. How do you like the HW100? I’ve always been a bit curious about them.

I can't say that I've had the chance to handle the HW90 yet. Given the gas ram and power level, it seems like it would make a good hunter but would need heavier pellets for any sort of accuracy.
My buddy had one, neither of us could hit anything with it, and it managed to break 3 scopes, if memory serves 2 of them were Hawke Airmax, in one instance it ripped the parallax turret clean off from the recoil. Then he gave it to one of our coworkers, who for some strange reason is deadly accurate with it, using iron sights, go figure. But yeah, I too never liked that rifle, it seems to me that Weihrauch in a rare instance forgot that power without accuracy is worthless.
As a shooter, you're good, I guess. But, as an author of a video presentation you have a lot to learn. Or is it the matter of a human character: maybe you are so full of your precious self, so you just don't care for anybody else and keep shooting into the void, beyond and over wide blue yonder, and keep informing us of the fact that you're shooting at mysterious something...
