    I wanted the fuller figured farmer's daughter, but my wife said I must settle for the HW110 Grey laminate. She reckons that I wouldn't know what to do with the former and that I would have more chance of scoring with the latter. So I took that as permission and am now the proud owner of a rather splendid rifle. Thanks for another wonderful impartial and unbiased review Andy.
    I understand that Julie said she would prefer Andy to have the HW110 rather than the FFFD, but I managed to grab the last one in stock. So, if you are an FFFD, watch out as there is an old grey haired guy out hunting for you, but at least he is unarmed!

    My favourite Friday Fix. Cheers Andy. I bought the Nutmeg laminate R10 kit and I am very happy with it but that would have tempted me if it had been shown first. Both very sexy little numbers. I have seen far too many complaints about you mentioning Vector Air but I for one welcome it as they have proven to be the No.1 company for customer care. I get regular emails and even the odd call to see if everything is ok and to inform me that something I may have mentioned months ago has come into stock. Nothing is too much bother and you feel like your custom is important. I have recommended them many times to members on the AGF especially the Gamo GX40 kit that I feel is the perfect all round starter, filled with quality items.

      I agree, I can't see the issue with Vector air being part of the reviews. Vector Air don't manufacture the guns anyway and they can be bought from anywhere so I can't see a conflict of interest anyway. The moaners know what to do if they don't like it.

    I've had the black synthetic version in 22 for about four years now and its never missed a beat and boy has it had some use. It's never been pellet fussy and my main pellet choice for rats are either RWS super H point or Hades for that hitting and stopping power. All my airguns are weihrauch including sprinters , I've had other makes over the years but to me nothing can beat them, yes there will be some of you who will say different but it's each to there own a bit like cars, I own a fiat panda cross 4x4 which is excellent for off road out of the window shooting and I swear by them but you may swear by your land rover again each to their own.

    I had a HW100 laminate (full rifle) and it was absolutely faultless. Great for benchrest/target stuff but just to heavy to haul around a shoot.
    The combination of a beautiful laminate stock with the 110 action just seems to work.
    I'm thinking one should be joining my collection!

    I have some nice air rifles (Weihrauch, Feinwerkbau, FX, Walther) and of them all the HW 100 is my favorite. Liked my .177 so much that I bought a .22 to go with it, both are walnut stocked FAC rifles. I've had them for years now and can attest to the quality and accuracy. Wish that Weihrauch would make a .25 caliber PCP.

I’m hoping that this rifle can be accurate out to 100 yards. The soft touch stock is awesome, and the rifle looks badass with the long barrel all dressed in black.

    I had two HW110s in 177 and both had to go back to Hull Cartridge for loss in power ....your right things of beauty but reliability im not so sure .....BSA R10 your spot on ....i would never go back to W ierauch .Maybe i was unlucky to have two low powered ones but i would bet my house theres a lot more out there with low power issues.

    Seriously been thinking about going over from my old springer that I've had since Adam was a lad, over to a sub 12ft PCP and I've taken a liking the the HW110 rather than the BSA R10 in .177. My only concern is I;ve seen on the forums the issue of the HW110 losing power after a while and having to send the rifle off to be "serviced" to bring it up to specification. Do you know if Weihrauch has addressed the issue yet ?

    Hi Andy like your reviews very helpful as I'm about to enter the world of PCP rifles and do like the Weihrauch HW 110 Laminate. My only problem is the number of comments I read about a loss of Power going down to 10.4ftlbs and then having to send it away and pay for a repair that surely should be covered by a warranty. Appears to be a fault with the gun. Is this something you could look into as I'm reluctant to shell out cash knowing I might have another bill built into the gun!

    Very nice gun and far less workmanlike than the black 110. It's a shame for what is a relatively expensive gun they didn't give it an adjustable cheek piece, that should be standard on any gun intended for the range

    Good video of a bonnie stock/ rifle. I cant help worrying how thin that section is that attaches the stock to the underside of the thumbhole pistol grip. If you become a little distracted for whatever reason and it obviously isnt loaded, and you set the rifle upright on the stock for a moment and it then falls then i dont think that section would survive many of them hits. Iam not singling this rifle out as i always sweat when looking at the same style wood and laminate stocks and i know how much these rifles cost. . Hopefully all would be well but would be difficult due to lack of material there to do such a repair. All the best from lancashire.

    Hi Andy, was looking at a 110 in .20 but hear many stories about them losing pressure, which is putting me off. Was this an early issue now resolved or still ongoing? . If so will look at the hw100 in .20.

    Sorry, but I really can't get excited about some glued up plywood! Walnut....very nice. Plastic.....very tactical/practical. Plywood ? Why would you want that?

      Horses for courses Dave, personally love the look of the laminate HW's and have the 77, 98 and 110 flavours. Plenty of weight in them too to keep things steady and on aim.
