The Struggle: Which German Springer?

[StevenG]

Your Struggle is in selecting which German air rifle?

Was that intentional? Because either way pretty funny.

Here we are, three months removed from my OP and I finally got a German springer!

A 1993, Santa Rosa era, R7 in .177!

Nice lookin rifle and shot group!  What you got on her for a scope?

Just a little 4x scope. It's not fancy, but the reticle is nice and thin so it is a pleasure to shoot

[triggerfest]

Tinker and tune = Weihrauch

Out of the box and ready to go = Walther

So up to you, you can't go wrong with either brand.

At least I wouldn't go for the HW30s, unless you're a small guy or a lady. Then you better could choose the already proposed HW50s. A very fine shooter.

OOPS and edit !!!
You already have the R7 now LOL
Enjoy her !

I'm not small, I guess. I'm built like a Scotsman. I'm 5'9" with calves and biceps as big as small trees. So I can handle the weight of large guns, however an LOP of around 12-13" feels best to me. The R7 actually fits perfectly!

Now that's funny!  Mein Kampf.

I'd suggest the HW50 also in 22 caliber. Send it out for a tune and install the Vortek kit. The only reason I'd say get it tuned would be to get rid of the piece of material that the factory has installed in the cocking arm to stop the cocking arm from scratching the main tube.
I still prefer having the entire arm filled and shaped for smoothness. You'll end with a accurate mid sized rifle that will produce 13 FPE. John
