HW 55S, Anybody Have One?

[airnutz]

@LarryT, your feeling of the gun is exactly what I was expecting, and looking forward to.  When I shoot the gun, it really zings and hammers like metal to metal.  The gun is a beast, and nothing to what Weihrauch had intentioned, I am sure of this now.  I did a shooting test against a quality grade piece of laminated, high grade plywood used here for boat transoms, and the HW 55s Pellet buried in the wood completely at 35 feet.  My Diana 35 (Vintage) ricocheted.  The current setup is not much fun to shoot.  Powerful yes, but just wild and un-air gun like.  I am disappointed for sure.

@jz2, the shaft (sorry, this is the German word....I mean the Stock) was broken at it's weakest area,  along the thin area above the thumb whilst shooting (behind the trigger).  Although I bought the gun cheaply, spending anymore would be all the more foolish in this case.  The bluing has been removed, the spring needs to be replaced, and I am too teed-off and disappointed to even touch the thing for a while.

But hey,  it shoots strong and very accurate.  I did a 10 meter (33 feet) test today with five shots and I stacked two after being off with my first one (man, is this trigger hairy!), the other two a nine points.  Yes, it is accurate.

I am finishing an old Walther LG 51 up this weekend, and I think it will be a sweetie.

Right now, I don't want to look at the Weihrauch.
