Hw80/90/rws460

Hi everyone! And merry Christmas and happy holidays! I'm looking to sell my 350 magnum and replace it with one of the 3 rifles listed above. I'm looking for longest lasting durability and quality of the 3. I will be using mainly as a hunting rifle. Looking in .22 unless .25 is a better choice say on the hw90. I also plan to have it scoped. Thanks all!

       Can't say much about the 80 or 90. Only HW springer I own is a 98, and that's a little barrel heavy to me for hunting. Bought the 460 for pesting only. It likes JSB heavies, and crosman pellets. The gun is a hammer, but could use a tune it's a little harsh. I did take it down and do a lube tune. That helped some. Use this gun mainly for G-Hogs, and have taken them out to 50 yds. Don't think I would push it any further for pest that size. Hope this helps you some.

It does thank you. See what I'm doing is going to buy a hw90 in .22 for hunting year round and have a resettable safety and can keep it cocked being a gas ram (apparently the best) for hours.. my real concern was between the 460 and the 80. I figure the 460 will be my choice over the hw80 to ad more variety to my growing collection being a fixed barrel. I would get it in .22 for sure. I may get the hw90 in .25 and use it for shorter range with irons but I feel that's alota of money in a gun that gets limited performance in this caliber. . I'm trying to cover most grounds of air gunning. I have a synthetic .25 marauder and a 350 magnum in .22 which I'm selling towards the hw90. I'm also looking to get a 909 as my last rifle I buy to be satisfied😜 $$

My personal choice as the best all around springer (especially for hunting) is the RWS 460 Under Leaver in 22 cal.:  It is consistently accurate (.300 ctc at 30 yards).   It is powerful (23+ FPE).  It is easy to shoot, not very hold sensitive, and not difficult to cock (for most men).  German engineered to last "forever."  Excellent Fit and Finish.  Is it "Cheap?"  Heck No!  Not in any sense for the word.  But if you want something to be proud of that performs well and looks great - It is a great value.  Just MHO.

Ya I plan on that being my medium range nice day hunting like squirrels and what not. I'm hoping to gather some info on the hw90 because I might get it in .25 for irion sights and med ranged scoped hunting. I don't like not having the ability to walk around without having my 350 cocked for long and I don't like needing to shoot scaring game away if I do.But if I'm looking for more longer range shots id go with the lower caliber .22 460 instead of my 350. But selling my 350 will go towards a hw90 first. And I know the 350 is suppose to be just as good as the 460 performance wise but again I wAna cover all grounds and get a fixed barrel as well and seeing the quality of a diana 350 I think a 460 would do perfect. Cause I want an under barrel with magnum power and German quality.
