Post by: .177sc on April 09, 2021, 04:57:36 PM
Hello everyone,

Upgraded from the Gamo I've been enjoying for the past month.  Krale came through effortlessly, shipped Tues arrived Thur.  Appreciate the knowledge here on what and where to buy.

Both can be dead nuts accurate. Now you get to experiment with finding which pellets that they like.

Nice upgrade from Gamo! For your for foray into higher end German air guns, you choose a knock pair of guns to get you going.

Yeah, if you have the $$$, best to buy two at a time and pay the same shipping rate from Krale.  3 day shipping from the Netherlands for $30 per gun ain't bad 8).  Lowest prices in the World on Weihrauch Springers ;)  However, yes ... spending more cash ... what an excuse to spend more ::)

Good choices in quality german air rifles Chad. May as well sell that gamo because believe it or not, it will become a dust collector. Airgun are an addictive habit,....and you just overdosed!!!! 😁

I mentioned the Gamo was an attempt at scratching my itchy trigger finger during this cycle of ammo shortage/price gouging.  For the price point I was amazed by the power and accuracy, even with the comical trigger.  I had no qualms about spending for higher quality, both these guns easily met or exceeded my expectations.

Ran a few hundred rnds through both Weihrauch now. I've got ammo in a dozen flavors, neither gun is picky.  Lower power and nice triggers yielded the increase in accuracy I expected over the Gamo.  The HW30 will stay with iron sights, it shoots groups just over 1" at 25 yds with my vision being the limiting factor.  Also at 25 yds the HW97 with shoot as many as I want through a raggedy 1/2" hole.  Amusing to hear the first few knock the hole in paper then know silence after the shot means it was another good one lol.
